The abitadeacon is on vacation and will be so for 1 full week, beginning today. We will be leaving a little later this morning so we can eventually be with our North Carolina family; son James, daughter-in-law Sara and yes, #1 grandson Calvin! Hey Calvin, Pops is on the way!
One of the great things in the life of the Permanent Deacon is indeed these family moments. Make no mistake, the family of the Deacon, especially the spouse, make many sacrifices for the Kingdom in being that support for all the ministries and responsibilities the Deacon fulfills. Often, this includes missing out on dinner, or family events, or rescheduling vacations, etc.
When big events like this vacation and the opportunity to be with family we just don't see enough of come along, well, it is a big deal. These days will be such a blessing and will become those moments and memories that help me in fulfilling the ministry of the Permanent Deacon.
So blogging will come from places like Georgia, N. Carolina and Alabama over the next several days.
In addition to visiting my family I am looking forward to attending Mass at our adopted parish in North Carolina, Blessed Sacrament in Burlington, and actually sitting with my wife in the pew.
Traveling prayers please as we begin our adventure shortly.
And thanks to our friends, Aimee & Keith, who will be house, horse and garden sitting over the next week!
