Speaking of Father Steve, has anyone heard from him lately? Shall we notify the "Parish Concerns" committee to check on the poor man or simply take up a collection to send him an electronic get- well E-pistle? The Shepherd looks after the One as well as the Ninety and nine, but who, pray tell, checks on the Shepherd? On the other hand, perhaps he is merely, in his alter ego, attending a Bar convention, seated comfortably in a local Bar, enjoying a nice cup of communal & communion wine, and enjoying as well the rapt attentions and ministrations (Lawyer, counsel Thyself!!) of lawyers schmoozing (sp? I don't really know this word-) the Judge. Hello, Father Steve, wherever you are. Hope all is well w/ you. Scribbler
