Father McIntyre came in the my work finally. It's been a long time coming. I've wanted him to come in so that I could talk to him outside of the church setting. I told him I would call the office to set up a meeting time. But the thing is, that's kind of intimidating... I don't necessarily want to talk to him as Father McIntyre. I want to talk to him as Garret. As a person whose opinion I respect whose brain I'm interested in picking. Whose life story I'd be intrigued to learn. *shrugs* I have heard nothing but good things about him. And the few times I have gotten to speak to him were good, and I think we could be friends. But anyway, I want to talk to him about my life, and get his feedback as well as talk to him about Brennan Manning. I wonder what the catholic church's impression of him now. But one of the other reasons why I don't want to call and set up an appointment, is because he looks stressed- like he's pulled in a million different directions and everyone wants a piece of him. I'd hate to add to that.
And so life's tides come and go.
