I got to spend an hour with our Sister Joyce yesterday.  I don’t know how I get to hang out with such quality folks as SJ.  And, and, and she has a bobble head rendition of our beloved leader, Pope Francis,  on her desk.  A bobble head pope is a concept that could stop you in your tracks and there he is to greet you as you walk into SJ’s.

SJ bills herself as a spiritual advisor.  As a new Catholic I have questions.  And then I have other questions about this and that.  And then I have things that I bring to her that are truly knotty.  You know, those “who are you gonna call?” questions.  And I feel like there isn’t anything that I could say that would shake her.  She’s been around the block eight times before me.  Is that reassuring?

I’m back, was out walking the Camino.  The bird feeders needed attention, so I did that.  Everyone is hungry this time of year.  And it’s pretty out in a rainy sort of way.

So, the important thing to know about SJ is how truly joyful she is.  She will be talking heavy stuff and her brow takes a particular topography but always the sea clams afterward.  And my hour is up and I am on my way recharged.  I hope that is not to wearing on her.

Yup, so remember that at this moment somewhere there is a Pope Francis bobble head in action.   I think that Bobbling along must be similar to Caminoing along.   Pope Francis is saying yes continually with each bobble, yes?  That just occurred to me.

Yes love, Felipe.
