Life After Abbey

I’ll admit I’ve been a little quiet lately, but there’s many things going on right now. But I’ll share a couple of thoughts while I can.

*RIP, Fr. John. I’ve still got the card you sent me for my graduation nine years ago. Such a classy man and fervent monk. I’ll always remember World Literature with you, your great sermons during mass, your smile and laugh. Your comments. “Ha. Ha. Ha is not an answer Mr. Memrick.” and “Time will pass, But will you.” It was fitting that your funeral was on Tuesday. It was such a nice day. I look forward to visiting your gravesite and saying a little prayer when I can.

*People. This EEOC thing is getting out of hand…especially by people WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON. I’m talking to you, Rick Santorum.

Give it a rest. Don’t read only Catholic publications, students and outsiders! If I did that when I was in high school and college, my view of the world would be very warped! Don’t go telling Chicago mayors to go to Belmont Abbey College. Just don’t do it. It’s stupid.

* Belmont Abbey women’s soccer team runs up the score on a winless Coker College team last week. I don’t know what to think about that. Maybe it was needed or justified or something.

More to come…..
