that time of year

Just a quick post to say that I haven't completely dropped off the face of the earth.  Things are very busy right now.  State testing this week at school.  Our final Bible Study of this series last night.  A musical performance of  Touched By the Christ (very touching) at church tonight.  And Immaculee will be in town this weekend, and I will be where she is! 

So I will be back at some point...probably with lots to ramble about.

Next week will be more of the same, in some ways.  Wednesday night is a Tenebrae service at our parish.  I am taking the day off on Thursday with plans to attend the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral with one of my "church lady" friends.  It's something I've wanted to do for the past few years....so why not?!  Thursday night is Mass at my parish with Adoration following.  Absolutely my most favorite Mass of the entire liturgical year.  Friday offers outdoor Stations of the Cross in the morning, which I will probably drag strongly encourage my children to attend.  I will attend the Passion service at our parish in the afternoon.  And Saturday is the Easter Vigil.  My boys are serving, which means practice in the morning with our dear pastor.  And either Friday evening or Saturday morning, my friend and I (the newly designated decorating committee) will be helping our pastor with decorations.

That's my story for now!  And I'm sticking with it!
