What a blessing!

Gift I received from some of my family on my 50th anniversary.

The big news this week for me is that yesterday one of my grandnephews and his wife gave birth to quadruplets. Obviously they have known for some time that she was pregnant with four babies. They were born yesterday, July 7, in Boone Hospital at Columbia. All four seem to be doing o.k. They are very small -- only about two pounds each but seem to be doing well so far. I was especially excited as they were born on my birthday. There were two boys and two girls and these are their first children. My grand nephew's last name is Reichert. So it seems the Reicherts will be around for a while yet. Say a little prayer for them that they will continue to grow and be in good health.

I am still working to get the photos together from my 50th anniversary of ordination. It takes a while to get all that done and then I would like to make a DVD for some of the family.

We have had some good rains in the past week and the heat and humidity have decreased so the weather is more bearable.

This weekend, July 10-12 is the oblate "Pray and Work" weekend. We are expecting about 35 oblates here for the weekend. We will spend a big part of the time on Saturday doing work.

That's it for this week. Prayers and blessings to all of you.
