The grotto outside of St. Anthony's Church in Casper provided an ideal setting for a photo to coincide with a specific topic covered during the day of retreat on Saturday, March 15. During the retreat I shared a story about a TV show years ago with George Burns and Gracie Allen. Although I do not recall the show, the story I heard was about Gracie calling a repairman to come to her house to fix a clock. The repairman came, looked at the clock, and proceeded to explain to Gracie that the clock was fine. She just didn't have it plugged in to the electrical socket. Gracie said she was aware of that. She was trying to save electricity so she only plugged the clock in when she wanted to know what time it was. I intentionally kept the transformer in this photo (upper left hand corner) to remind us to always stay plugged into God. If we only call upon God when we need something, we are missing the opportunity to truly be in relationship!
It was a fantastic weekend at St. Anthony's. The hospitality extended by the pastor was first rate, and getting to spend all day on Saturday with over 50 parishioners for the retreat was uplifting and renewing. Preaching at all four of the weekend liturgies was also a very special priviege for me. I hope that each of you experience abundant blessings during the remainder of this Lenten season.
