MONDAY DIARY: ALMOST EXCRUCIATINGLY TRUE STORIES: THE LION'S DEN

If you want to hear the full story, listen to my homily from the 5th Sunday in ordinary time.  It should be posted soon.  But here is an excerpt:

I went on vacation about 10 days ago to Florida.  When I arrived at the airport at 5AM it was eerily dark.  To make a very long story short (too late) it turns out that there had been a giant storm that night which I COMPLETELY missed and it somehow blew out the power at the airport.  The only lights that were on were on generators.  Everybody's flights were cancelled.  There were people everywhere.  

One of the things that kept operating was the giant revolving door.  Just I was about to enter the terminal I caught sight of another man about to enter.  I stepped back so he could go first . . .

Today's homily was excellent. Definitely recommend listening to it if you weren't at 9am mass!

Using a priest as a human shield. Real nice.
