MONDAY DIARY: ALMOST EXCRUCIATINGLY TRUE STORIES: WHEN YOU BECOME YOUR DAD

When you become a pastor, you become your Dad.  You have the same mindset that once drove you crazy when he displayed it when you were young.  There has not been one rectory of which I am been aware that the pastor/parochial vicar relationship does not, in some way, reflect a father son mentality at least when it comes to budgeting.
And I know that I sound and act like my Dad.  But - but - but - and I HATE to say it - it now makes sense.
That goodness for the new LED lighting.  That has cut a ton out of my worrying.  But I mean - really - after you've lived in a house for a year do you really need lights to walk around?
So I happen to like it cold.  Of course there are some things on which we are on the same side.

  4. To be honest, I thought the church was too hot at Mass all winter long last season. We could save a lot of money as a parish by lowering the heat by five degrees. I do think that's the real reason that God invented sweaters!
