My Day Off

I just got back from a day-off. And it is a twenty-four hour one too. One of the great things I am enjoying now is the Day Off. Each of us in the community has been given the chance to select a day off between Monday to Thursday. I chose Monday because when I was still in a school setting, I hated...

Tired But Satisfied

I just got back from our parish Bible lesson. The sight of my growing class is really gratifying.

What I Like About My New Job

A priest should like working in the parish, right? Right. But that is if it were the only kind of work available. I have worked for ten years as a school administrator but it is only now that I am assigned to work full time in a parish. Working in a school has its perks, like having your Sunday off...

Yesterday, I formally reported to my new assignment. The superior of the Filipino friars was there with his secretary and financial counsellor to initiate me and my companions to the life of our new community.

I Knew There Would Be Something Wrong

I knew there would be something wrong when I got back into my hole. Everything was clean! New toilet seats, new tiles for the flooring, no cobwebs! Yeah. It is time to go on. They have prepared my hole for the next inhabitant. Now where is my favorite Zippo lighter... Sign in to see full entry.
