Well, this Butch is reading your column with tears streaming down their face! I wish you were right here so I could just give you a big hug. Distance predetermines that "Thank you" will have to do...well, "thank you" and also, please know that this column (and others) ARE saving my life. It's too late for my career in the parish, but God ain't done with me yet and reading this/these truths spelled out over the pages each week has given me strength to crawl back towards that call and reclaim what serves...what serves me, my community, and the world beyond.
