Vigil, Patrick's B-day and Greek

Well, I made it through vespers, the procession for the conception of John the Baptist and part of Orthros. Standing and holding a candle for about 30 minutes was rough on the ol' feet. After Orthros began, our altar service leader let me know that if I wanted to head out I could. Originally, I wanted to get through the whole thing, but Saturday was Patrick's 10th birthday. So after trying to get through some more, I finally headed out about 11:30... (yeah, I know, wimp!)

For his birthday, we went out with one of my fellow seminarians who the kids love, to a place called Bertucchis, a nice Italian restaurant chain up here. Patrick got presents from family as well as his godparents.

Sunday was a good day... Bengals beating the Steelers makes any day a good day.

Now, back to memorizing John 1:1-6 ... En archee een o logos... En archee een o logos... En ar... ARRRRRRGGGGG :-)

(Memorization is one of my worst skills)
