Going to a wedding ... and turning 21.

No, I'm not laying down on the job. I'm attending the wedding of two of my former classmates ... and I'm turning 21 (so don't expect any early monday morning posts).

I rejoice because I'll be able to celebrate three things this weekend: the wedding, my birthday, and the new translation of the Mass in English being approved! (Cardinal Macharski looks very pleased as well, dont you think?)

Now, I'm not normally the biblical numerology sort, but on a whim I decided to look up the 21st book of the bible (Ecclesiastes), and then find the 21st verse of that book. Lo and behold here is what the verse reads:

"I searched with my mind how to cheer my body with wine -- my mind still guiding me with wisdom -- and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven during the few days of their life."

Throughout these years of wine and folly, may I (and all around me) never lose sight of what is truly good for the sons of men to do under heaven during the few days of their life. Amen! Deo Gratias!
