School has started so things have been quite busy. A few
masses, including the opening high school mass and Eucharistic procession,
bible blessings, sports…lots going on.
Bikefest 2012
This past weekend, I went with some of the Knight of
Columbus Motorcycle Ministry down to Bikefest at Ocean City, Maryland. We stayed in Chincoteague, Virginia. I left Friday
after the high school mass and flew down the parkway just in time to take the
ferry out of Cape May. There had to be 50 bikes aboard. It was beautiful: sunny, yet cool, weather. We had a great time. We had some great dinner at Don’s
seafood restaurant, which we walked to from the hotel.
We had mass at the hotel Saturday morning and a bunch went
to a buffet breakfast. Then we rode through Chincoteague wildlife preserve and
almost got eaten alive by Mosquitoes when we stopped.
A group rode up to Bikefest (see below) and had fun checking
out the tons of bikes and some vendors.

Sunday morning the group headed to mass at St. Andrew’s
Catholic Church. The place was packed. We showed up on the bikes and sat in the
back pew (like good Catholics) with our KofC MM vests on. Boz went over to the
choir and asked to sing with them. They were delighted. As mass went on, each
of us offered our seat to other massgoers. The kindness was mentioned in the
homily, which was about putting faith into action.
We left after mass and rode inland until we reached Dover,
Delaware, where we stopped at a diner. Then we got on route 1 and headed over
the Delaware memorial bridge. I got off 295 onto route 70. We said our goodbyes
and three of us headed on 70 East. I finally got home about 630pm on Sunday.
In all, I did about 450 miles (and a ferry ride). Great
roads, great people, great weather. Thank you, God!
Navy Update
I received an email update from my recruiter letting me know
that my application to the Navy is complete and is being reviewed. The next step is to be invited to the
Chaplain Review Board in Washington. So, I am still waiting for that. At least,
I know that my application is being looked at. I hope to hear something soon.
