DeColores my Brother's and Sister's in Christ,

It is hard for me to describe my weekend experience with the Team and Candidates of Men's 222. Awesome is not a strong enough adjective.

I again was touched by the HOLY SPIRIT in more ways than I can say. I came away with new brothers and with a heart that was healed. I finally forgave my self for some very selfish behaviors to say the least. I was forgiven by a gracious wonderful man. I knew that God had forgiven me but what I needed to was forgive myself and ask forgiveness from a man who I injured. It was granted.

Yes, I can go over the edge. I am a man of high emotions and I wear my emotions for all to see. It is who I am. If I changed that and believe me I have tried. It would not be me. I am who I am. A MAN that loves his God, Loves his family, his friends and Loves Cursillo very much.

See you all soon along the our journey. And yes you have my back, and I have yours.

I love all of you.

Socks or Sox!

There is no need to apologize. Maybe, just maybe one person on the weekend needed to see a grown man who is truly living out his second childhood showing the Light of Christ. Your response was a beautiful journaling article which I enjoyed. You and I have had to overcome a couple of speed bumps in our journey and we've both taken a small detour before getting back on course!

The guys outside on one of the breaks will NEVER forget your phone call to your lovely Saint of a wife (Pat), using my cell phone. I can tell you NO ONE WAS IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR!!!

As our "family" group started our song for the men during the closing, the first person I made eye-contact with, was Annie B. She had tears in her eyes. I immediately looked away and saw Mike McD with tears in his eyes. When you're in front of a crowd - cantoring or singing, a "trick" I've learned is: to think "blue light" (asking for the Holy Spirit to come upon me!). So I did!! I then looked at the exit sign clear across the social hall - and what did I see?? You waving your candle with tears in your eyes. I had tear filled eyes during the entire song. I was lucky to be able to see the words, let alone carry the tune!!

I love you like a brother! Welcome back and I've got your back - take care of mine will you??
