All Pau

"Pau" means "finished" in Hawaiian. It was in the remarks column of my grandfather's last flight log.

My last SMM Mass was the morning 7.15. I nearly cried when I read the Communion Sentence just before blessing and dismissing:

Go forth from this place: behold I send you out like lambs among wolves

I didn't choose this sentence, it chose me in a sense. It just happened to be in the propers for today. I love it when God pulls that providential stuff.

Stress level starting to ebb, finally, after reaching its peak today.

We are just now packing up this office. Tomorrow morning I'm off on retreat until next Wednesday. Much needed.

Cheers...
