Shame you’d make a good one

Heh.

I once had a theological discussion with a Catholic monk.

After about an hour, he asked me, “How can you know so much about the Bible and not be a Catholic?”

My reply was, “How can you know so much about the Bible and still BE a Catholic?”

We both nearly fell over laughing. Great camaraderie.

I’ve never met a priest or monk that I didn’t like.

Or nuns, for that matter.

There is Feeneyite community near us where the nuns are very accomplished fiddle players.

A friend of mine who owns a Blue Grass club tells me that two of these nuns appeared at the club one night. He said they sat there watching the band all night, and stayed after everybody had left.

This is when the band and the owner and his wife retire to the loft to jam into the wee hours.

He saw the nuns follow them up the stairs and wondered what they were up to.

Well, out came the guitars, banjos, and mandolins, and these two nuns pulled out their fiddles. According to him, they proceeded to burn the place down! Figuratively speaking, of course ;)

And thank you for the kind words.

I enjoy watching Blue Bloods, because they always gather for Sunday dinner after church, and they always give thanks to the Lord for their meal before eating.
