Someone gave me a copy of a great new book by Sherry A. Weddell. It's called "Forming Intentional Disciples — The Path to Knowing And Following Jesus". I highly recommend this book. It gives you a lot to think about and how we need to get back on track with the mission of the Church. Here's a quote from Pope Benedict XVI which is in the book: Faith is above all a personal, intimate encounter with Jesus, and to experience his closeness, his friendship, his love; only in this ways does one learn to know him ever more, and to love and follow him ever more. May this happen to each one of us. 

I have been listening to Channel 64 "Praise Gospel" a lot while driving in my car. I tagged a song by Destiny Praise called "His Will". Shazam is sure a neat app to have on your SmartPhone. Here is the video for the song: We have our Advent Concert in a little while. I am only singing with a group for 2 songs so I should be able to enjoy the rest of the music without having to worry about my part. We're supposed to get quite a storm tonight. I have my flashlights and radio ready to go.

I have posted the homily from today's 10AM Mass. You can listen to it by clicking here.
