Seems like the past two weekends were weekends of picnicking. Last weekend was Our lady of the Lakes parish picnic. We had an awesome outdoor liturgy...minus the crackling sound system. We had good food...good company...good riding. I ended up conquoring two fears....which tells you that the spirit must have really been at work. I ended up on the X-scream and riding the Ravine Flyer II. (in my humble opinion both of these occurances should count as miracles...as they never would happen in my right mind!) But...I must say that it was exhilerating knowing that I could conquor both fears.The tower really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be and offered an awesome view of the lake. The Ravine Flyer on the other hand was as bad as I had feared. It was faster than a speeding bullet! boy did it give you a rush. Now...just for some background for those who don't know me. I have never really liked coasters.....it took some caniving to get me on the blue streak, which was not nearly as bad as the Ravine Flyer in hindsight. And normally when I rode the comet, the other coaster at the park, i would hold on for dear life. I got on it after riding the new coaster and i rode up and down the hills like it was nothing....my friend Heidi decided I was a new person! Yesterday was Circle of Friends with the SSJs. My mom and dad went with me and we had a good time. Liturgy was beautiful as always. I always enjoy hearing Fr. Dennis preach. He has such humor but, such a way of getting things across.
Friday I was out at the CLC for prayer. We took it on the road for a walk around St. Marys. It was a beautiful evening for it. And the prayer was very awesome and challenging. In addition to a gazillion other questions I have one big looming one that has been sticking with me....'who do you say that I am.' I am sure it provide me much thinking for time to come. In talking about that question I ended up having a unique way to articulate who the trinity really is by going through the alphabet. I think it is a practice I will put in my toolbox for those days when life is just so crazy that i end up loosing focus and getting lost.
