I;am sitting at the JFK airport in NYC.; On this high stool I look down the length of an airplane beneath me. Its fin is so tall and powerful, it’s like a big robot dolphin.;

Last night at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church was pretty cool. The church was right on the port. You could stand in the parking lot and skip a rock across the port. The sun was setting and sparkled the whole place to life. For a Saturday night, there were a lot of people there.

It was good to spend time with Deacon Chris, the youth minister at the parish. He’s been through a lot…the church has been through a lot. God still does His work, but it’s been difficult. I was happy to offer whatever support I could. I’d mop the floors if I needed to.

Good Life Teen friends came up for my talk. Todd is from Arizona, but is now a youth minister on Long Island, where he met his now wife, Dominique. So Chris, Todd, Dominique, and I went to a Huntington for a cup of coffee. I was happy that they got to meet each other so they can support each other as they serve God together.

I am on the airplane now on a five-hour stretch back to Phoenix. I realize I have two websites to launch in eight days, which is next to impossible. But all things are possible with God. So that’ll be the end of this journal, and the beginning of a new website.
