one of the most inspiring


One of the men in my life that I have found most inspiring is my wife's uncle John Boll. He is a Priest and when we would go to reunion he would say Saturday mass such that those of us who slept in the yard in tents would not have to figure out how to get cleaned up for Sunday mass. I can clearly remember the fire in his eyes when he held up the consecrated host. At the time I was a generic protestant and I thought: I want some of that! Not realizing that my yearning was for Christ in his Eucharistic form. So, here is a recent picture of John in the creek. Who knows, when I picked Jack’s real name, perhaps he was the John that inspired me.......
