The Board discussing the News that the Pastor wife plans a red Tesla for the official car of the Pastor's wife.

What's up in Ye Old Catholic Church?  Like…

1. From sex abuse to money, Francis has had a rough year,  http://corpus-blog.blogspot.com/2018/12/from-sex-abuse-to-money-2018-tested.html

Lumbar Stenosis update:

1.  Friday afternoon surgery on the back, spent the night in Presby Dallas.

2.  Wednesday morning about 9:30, I suddenly knew I could do it and I walked with no assistance from the dining room to the kitchen sink.  This was humbling and encouraging.    Actually, I felt like I had just climbed Kilimanjaro again.  Wow!
