Meaningful matters

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
 -Joshua J. Marine
       One of the things the students would frequently ask me is if being a priest is fun. I would usually answer them that I enjoy being one most of the time, but it isn't always fun.  As a priest I do many things that are not fun, but usually meaningful.  And at the end of the day I have more thankfulness in my heart for meaningful experiences than for fun ones. However, I frequently make boring experiences more fun for myself by my warped sense of humor or my goofy responses.  I am sure one day the men with nets will catch up to me and haul me into the asylum.
