His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah was Vespers tonight at St. Johns for the Transfiguration. It was wonderful to see him, and see him serve (as much as my rambunctious kids would let me). I overheard him telling my Uncle that he loved it here, and if he had come as a young man, he never would've left. That was cool. And then, the crowning moment was when we received a blessing at the end. Marina--with her pointer finger permanently stuck up her nostril--flicked a booger on the Metropolitan.
I was filled with the same amount of pride that I felt when Megan puked on Bishop Joseph.
Our friend Corey, who we sponsored a year ago, is being tonsured a Reader tomorrow morning. Please keep him in your prayers!

I liked hearing Bishop BENJAMIN in private refer to his liturgical hat as a "bonnet". Then, Luke was running around in his diaper after dinner with a binky in his mouth, and Bp. BENJAMIN laughed, then said, "There's a naked person--with a plug!" I thought no one could top those moments, until I read that Marina flicked a booger on the Met. Shouldn't the godparents get blamed?
How convenient for you, if we did blame the Godparents.... :) Mike told me about Luke running around sans clothing. Glad Luke feels at home with hierarchs.
