neighbors

the other thing that happened wednesday, besides the discovery of the orphan kitten outside my door is the drama unfolding next door at the convent.

*sighs*

it made the local news and that's how i learned of it too; a priest, that was living next door at the convent, was arrested & charged with possession of child pornography.

for about half a day i was speechless...and then the words started pouring out of me, and mostly to my good friend & pastor via emails.

he's been a great listener and friend to me over the years, even more so recently with all of the drama i've been dealing with.

i can feel that something productive and effective is about to happen within the Church very soon in light of this current trouble with my catholic neighbors.

i'm prayerful and hopeful that we as the Church can learn from this and become more prepared and take even more preventative steps in protecting children & families from abusive behaviour.
