What a great day yesterday in Douglas, Wyoming! Many thanks to the pastor, DRE, and parishioners who welcomed me so warmly.
It was my first trip up I-25 north of Cheyenne in over three years. It was appropriate that the first electronic billboard of the Wyoming Department of Transportation would say, "Extreme blowover risk. Closed to light and high profile vehicles. Wind gusts of 65 + mph." Oh. Now I remember why I wanted to move to a less harsh climate.

It is never difficult in Wyoming to get a good photo of the flags sticking straight out. These flags at one of the rest areas gives you a glimpse into the windy driving conditions of the day.
When I was preaching a parish mission at St. James in early December of 2017, I helped shovel snow off of the sidewalks to get ready for one of the evenings. Thankfully, we did not have to do that this time.
After the evening Mass yesterday, the moon was right over the cross on the church. I wish I would have had a good camera with me to capture the image more clearly.

I am grateful for these opportunities to lead retreats and days of recollection. I am always enriched and inspired after being with God's people at these types of gatherings. Once again, thank you to everyone at St. James. A tip of the hat to each of you.
