A very nice little prayer, sonny. Is it your own? Good to have the little prayers on hand when time is short. Love the blog, young man. Your parents must be VERY proud of you. One day, when you grow up, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you decided to become a priest. I will say a prayer for you. I'll even ask my wife Mildred and our neighbor, Hautense, to do the same. Good luck to you sonny! You look just like that kid that used to be on the Brady Bunch. You wouldn't be pulling our leg, now would you? Are you that kid from the Brady Bunch? -- T.

I have a portrait of myself hidden in an old sacristy somewhere.
A fetching portrait would sure 'nough fetch a lot of the dough on e-Bay. You know, on the Catholic auction site. It ought to be worth a bundle from a big blooming blogger like yourself. But let's not discuss money among friends on blogs because, well, it's just not right. Makes people feel downright uncomfortable. We can't have that in this day age. So you can let 'em wonder all you like about what you look like. If they want to know, why I say they can just go to your church and catch one of those Masses that you say. Yep. Mr. Teebarry here agrees with me so you sure know I'm right. Of course, you know best, being a holy priest and all. You do look real young now, that's for sure.
If God brings you to it, he will see you through it.
That portrait must be under lock,hidden key and heavy guard as it is surely worth at least a thousand words. The prayerful kind.
Cute kid!
What a darling photograph.
I enjoy the humor and clever wit. Keep smiling and laughing!
