Wow, I just figured out how to update my journal instead of added comments to my original entry. Who says you cant teach old dog new tricks?
I'm going to Chicago tonight and then on to Iowa for 10 days of family and friends. My distant family from all round the country and some even from the old country (Ireland) will be there. My cousin & uncle who are both priests will say catholic mass in a church founded by my great grandfather who emigrated from Ireland and founded the church. Should be pretty cool even though Im of little faith. I've known for years as a blasphemer and other wise nar-do-well.
My family is so steeped in Irish Catholicism that it scares me. I understand that it IS my culture and my heritage so I cant deny that Im a Cultural Irish Catholic even though I dont believe that Jesus was son of god or any of that other stuff. I used to work with a Mexican guy named Jesus, and I believe in him.
