A little update

I will be posting soon with pictures of our trip to Halifax.
We arrived safely home on Sunday morning after a 20 hour drive guided by the light of the fullest moon in 18 years. It was gorgeous and completely beyond photographing by my point-and-shoot camera in the parking lot of a brightly lit Shell station.
When we got in the door the light on the answering machine was flashing with a message that the rectory of St. Casimir's (the church adjacent to the school where Dave teaches) had burned down in the very early hours of Sunday morning. The parish priest died in the fire. Quite a message to come home to. Dave had only just shaken his hand on Ash Wednesday, 10 days before.
(Such a fire is a poignant reminder of the season of Lent: Ye are dust and unto dust ye shall return.)
Within the hour, and with two hours of sleep under his belt, Dave was on the phone with his principal putting together a prayer service for the first day back at school.
Pray for this priest's soul, his name is Fr. George Olsen. Pray for the community - who knows if they will get another priest. Do you have one to spare?
Tuesday was a flurry of dental and doctor appointments and today might allow us to swing back into a normal rhythm. Talk soon.
