My ministry in catechesis is also my part time job, but salary has never diminished my sense of being a minister.<br /> My wife Nan is a partner in my life pursuits. We have integrated ministry and relationship. We share everything, but allow each other's alone time as well.<br /> When I was 18 I learned the sacramentality of the moment. I discovered that myself during my novitiate experience. When I was 30 this was confirmed by a one-liner that Gabriel Moran threw to us students: "Everything is revelatory of God; but it is not guaranteed to be so."<br /> At times, I practiced this spirituality. At times, not so much.<br /> Now, as I am in the legacy-building phase of my days, the sense of Presence is much stronger. I aim to practice it wherever I am.<br /> Maybe I will carry it with me beyond these days.<br /><br />Frank Koob (Joe, we have been at this sine we were 16!)<br /> Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814086475478573188noreply@blogger.com
