@RickiTarr I was dealing with some difficult parishioners awhile back. After service one day this older man said to me as he shook my hand, “Father …. Don’t let the bastards get you down.”

Makes me smile every time I think about it.

The only time in my life I'd go to bed early and get up early was when I was in the army.

Now I do it to get to the #coffee sooner!
