We have some good things going on where I am.
For example, there is a new chapter of EnCourage forming in the Diocese of Madison. HERE
Tonight we have a Sung Mass for All Saints at 6:30 at St. Mary’s in Pine Bluff.
Tomorrow, All Souls, The Extraordinary Ordinary, Bishop Morlino will celebrate a Pontifical Requiem at the Throne for the deceased priests of the diocese. That Mass, at 7:00 PM, will be at the chapel of Holy Name Heights.

My beautiful daughter came into this world ten years ago today. ’Nuff said for a good day!
Fr. Z and JustaSinner: Excellent.
Doesn’t compare to Church and Child, but: Deo Gratias for Big Sky Country and ranch steak.
Johnny Mercer wrote a song during the turbulent year of 1944, here it’s sung by the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald:

Gather ’round me, everybody
Gather ’round me while I preach some
Feel a sermon comin’ on me
The topic will be sin
And that’s what I’m agin
If you want to hear my story
Then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewing
The attitude of doing right
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with mister inbetween
Deo Gratias for Big Band. One more, a Glenn Miller classic:

“Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with trumpets and the sound of the horn and the saxophone…”
(Ok, that last one Tracer Bullet insisted. He’s getting a little “ranch happy” and is thinking of swapping his trenchcoat for a Duster.)
