I have a big day today and maybe in the past I would be afraid but now somehow the day seems crawling with possibilities, alive with potential.  Then right on top of these two giant things that are happening a  good buddy reminds me of something that I have promised to do a while back along the trail.  Sure, no problemo!

This morning one of the editors and a photographer from Northwest Catholic Magazine are coming out to get some pics here at Phil’s Camino.  It looks like the rain may hold off.  The publication is doing a story about my recent conversion and the ancient pilgrimage and maybe a little about my cancer hobby thrown in.

Then this evening I am appearing on a local radio show panel talking about suicide.   Suicide is a big topic in our community as we have had a rash of it over the last few years.  I wore a braclet for a young man that took his own life and who I knew.  I wore it accross Spain.  Two other members of the panel are the local school superintendent and a local mental health professional.  I am supposed to be the  “gun guy”.  Everyone and their brother beats up on second amendment advocates and here I am volunteering for this.  Hmm.  I am definitely getting braver in my old age.

Then actually, there is one more big topic which is that today is a Holy Day of Obligation and I am supposed to be in church at some point today and guess what, the two services available on this island for me today are at the same times as my other engagements.  Yea, when it rains it pours.  Love you all, Felipe.
