Sunday exhilarated me in a number of ways...
Up at the crack of dawn to participate in our annual 'Run for Peace!'
Let me stop you right there. The name of the race is 'Run for Peace!'
I started out jogging...when I finally caught my breath after the 1st street, I volleyed between jogging and walking for peace.
I dedicated the race to Mom...even made a donation in her name as a sponsorship....and hoped her tennis shoes would lift me up (they did!). I'm still amazed how many people came up to me telling me they think about her every day. One dear friend got a tear in his eye just talking to me about Mom.
Ah, heck, as long as it's for a good cause....I did not collapse on the course...and actually finished, it's a good day! And I finished in enough time to 'jog' over to church and still sing the 11am Mass!
Then the main reading (Jn 8:1-11) on this Fifth Sunday of Lent revolved around the line: "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
Needs no explanation or break down. The way all of us should live every single minute of every single day.
And I am happy to report--this just in-- The 5th annual 'Run for Peace' a complete success as it brought in a little over $11,000 for the youth of our parish.
