So long...

Didn't realize how long it had been since I had last blogged. I have been busy with trying to organize the bowling trip for the next formation program in November. Speaking of November, I can't believe it is already November. It has also been two months since I got back from the Philippines. Time surely does fly by and how I miss so many of my friends back in the Philippines.

This weekend was Halloween, which I am learning is one of my favorites. Br. Dan went with me to see Paranormal Activity 2, which was okay, but I thought the first one was a lot spookier. I also got permission to go visit with some friends at there party. It was a great time. The evening didn't go as expected, but it still turned out alright, something we can look back at and laugh. My friend Dan, who is applying for the Diocese of Syracuse, went with me. Let's just say it was his first time getting drunk, hehe, enough said. I made sure he was okay though. He didn't remember anything the next day, but I reminded him of the Shenanigans. I also realize that I don't need to drink to have a good time.

For Halloween, I passed out candy, but gosh was it freezing here in Syracuse. Let me just say that yesterday we had clear weather, cloudy weather, then rain, sleet, hail, and snow all in one day. Pretty soon it is going to start snowing. So I was brave staying out in the cold weather. I did have some visitors over that knew me, which made it a lot better.

Today had a lot of interesting moments. So when I left the house to attend my spiritual direction, I didn't see this guy on his bike on the side walk because of some hedges well all I heard was like an "ohh oh" then once he got past the car he let out "Watch where you are going asshole." I thought that was interesting, but I legit didn't see him coming. Brian went back to Philly to take care of his mom, so now I have the whole upstairs without anybody else here. I ran into a friar at the gas station, confused him with another order, but then realized that they are starting a new order and he is only one of four. I like them only in the sense that they have Sacred Heart in there name.

The most powerful thing for me this morning though was the feeling that the Blessed Mother was surrounding me and looking out for me. Just reading the signs around me.
