A wedding, a run, a motu proprio
/
He was supposed to pose but instead he squished. Pretty typical and wonderful. Posed shots are great in their own way. But 5-year olds have a way of cutting through to the better things.
The wedding was this week! Thanks be to God! Those of you with big families can appreciate the unique position of being mother-of-the-groom and also mother-of-the-kid who “needs to go to the bathroom” during the marriage vows.
And while we wait for the professional photos, I’m enjoying what people are sharing from their camera rolls. Lots of squishing and laughing.
Couple of unrelated updates:
• The Rise Up & Run t-shirts were significantly delayed due to the printer’s “internal error.” Good thing it’s a virtual run! Some of you will be getting your packets later than the run date. It’s out of my hands and I’ve struggled with frustration. But I’m surrendering and grateful for an understanding community.
• My family has decided to delay our local run gathering to next week because of schedule and energy conflicts. (ie busy and tired) Recognizing limits and rolling with needs.
• I continue praying for all of your run intentions.
• Definitely feeling like I won’t be running a very strong race this year. I will give it my best and continue to offer all for your race intentions. We had a wonderful time last year regardless of our fitness levels and abilities. Looking forward to the exercise in surrender and humility again! 😉
• I may have extra race packets available. Some of you inquired. I will let you know soon!
Unrelated update for those who have asked my thoughts on what came out of Rome this week…
• The motu proprio came out the day of the wedding so I was blissfully ignorant until the next day. A good reminder that I can’t control any of it.
• A great kick in the pants to get holy and keep lamps lighted.
• This papacy has courted anti-life global Marxists for years and caused much scandal and hardship for the flock. This is consistent. Carry on, Church Militant. Carry on.
