Priests Retirement Dinner
Just to give y'all a little snicker...
XOXO
Me
PS
I am still working on getting my thoughts together to accurately express what is going on in my head -and my heart -with respect to a few things that have truly thrown me for a loop this week.
I believe that entry may be private due to the vitriol that I get from my own offspring...
Good grief! -Those umbilical cords should have been cut a long time ago, don't you think?!? hehehe
Ooh- Must go wash my hands again.
Love to all.
Onward to all the giggling...
ENJOY!!!______________________________________________________
Priests Retirement Dinner
A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.
However, since the politician was delayed, the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:
He spoke, "I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it.
He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs and gave VD to his sister.
I was appalled!!!
But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.
Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:
"I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession."
Moral: Never, Never, Ever Be Late!
