~ Tuesday at the Philly was fun. We celebrated Katie's b-day, Kristine came for the first time, and Stephanie & Matt brought their baby
Father Dan's homily was awesome, especially a story he included in it. He was on the airplane on his way to New York and all he wanted to do was sleep. Unfortuanatley the two people behind him were talking loudly so he couldn't sleep. He ended up overhearing their conversation. Father Dan told us that from the conversation the man apparently was Catholic and the woman wasn't. This was their conversation:
W = "So you're Catholic, huh? Did you go to Church last Sunday?"
Father Dan said he was thinking "please say yes, please say yes
"M = "Yes"
Father Dan let out a sigh of relief
W = "Did you hear the Gospel?"
M = "Yes I did"
W = "What was it about"
Father Dan held his breath and thougth to himself - please say something you remember.
M = "You know what? My Grandfather would roll over in his grave if he knew this but I actually don't remember what it was about. I can tell you what the good-looking girl in front of me was wearing but I can't tell you what the Gospel was about."
He kept listening to their conversation and was debating when to turn around and say something. Finally the plane landed and Father Dan stood up and faced them. When the two saw him their jaws dropped and they had surprised looks on their faces.S
So Father Dan says, "I couldn't help but hear your conversation earlier and I wanted to let you know that last Sunday's Gospel was about the group of travelers on a journey to Emmaus. The two were conversing & debating and didn't realize that Jesus himself was in their midst. They were scolded at first for believing what the prophests spoke and then Jesus interpreted for them what was referred to Him in all the Scriptures.
Me, Kate, and Katie (Jess is at the counter)

"Oh ya and Ruth & I also went to XLT last night (which was awesome)
