Do you remember Pee Wee's Playhouse? Every episode there was a "Word of the Day." When you heard it, you were supposed to jump up and scream.
Here's a clip if you've forgotten.
Well, kids . . . Today's word of the day is TRIANGULATION.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Mrs. Ref and I go and visit parishes to help them focus on growth. It's more complicated than that, but it's basically what we do. Awhile ago, we visited two parishes, X & Y. It was . . . an interesting experience.
I received an e-mail from Matriarch X who apparently doesn't like the way the priest is doing things there, or doesn't like the way things are being done in general, and now wants me to write a letter telling people to do what she wants them to do.
Oy vey.
I'm not sure she realizes exactly who she's dealing with here.
To paraphrase a recent horror flick, "Oh yes, there will be a letter."

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

Nothing like being asked to undermine another priest's authority. :-)
Did I give you a triangle a few years ago, too? If so, give 'er a ring!
What horror flick?
No, I did not get a triangle from you.
It's from "SAW" and/or SAW II.
"Oh yes, there will be blood."
Just need to point out that I never actually watched those movies, just remember the tag line from the commercials.
I don't do bloody horror flicks.
