I must say though I find it encouraging to read that you, one who I view as confident and never at a loss for exactly the right word, felt nervous. It gives me hope that I might be able to put such a confident face towards the world if needed.<br /><br />I am in awe of people that remember names, Mr Murray is able to do this and always uses it to make people feel better as I have witness on many occasions. He has tried to explain his Jedi mind tricks to me, alas I cannot seem to master them.<br /><br />Keep doing what you're doing, you do it well :-)Shonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687914247368368360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-69776335227689683672012-10-10T13:58:19.993+01:002012-10-10T13:58:19.993+01:00Well done that lad!

Good.<br />I have total recall about my baptism and confirmation and just in case you don't, can say it went swimmingly.<br />You have obviously landed in the right spot David.<br />Many blessings.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-90933242890243091452012-10-10T12:15:38.931+01:002012-10-10T12:15:38.931+01:00Brilliant, David!

Our former Bishop (now Archbishop of Wales) had the same wonderful trick of learning names instantly and what's more when he came back for the next confirmation could still remember the previous year's candidates!Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-90587102747306859242012-10-10T11:49:13.954+01:002012-10-10T11:49:13.954+01:00Thank you E - we reflect on life in those terms to...Thank you E - we reflect on life in those terms too, and we feel daily blessed by God!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268991293847325315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299409348701300460.post-32576770903462515752012-10-10T11:39:39.731+01:002012-10-10T11:39:39.731+01:00Sounds to have been a great occasion.

We had nearly 20 for confirmation and four for Baptism and Confirmation.<br /><br />Like your service it was powerful and grace filled. I was able to serve and to assist in distributing the wine at a side Altar as there were so many for HC.<br /><br />A wonderful experience that I blogged at the time.<br /><br />Loving to hear how your ministry is progressing and you seem to grow each time you write (if you don't mind me saying that?).<br /><br />God is alive and well and in abundance in your parish.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
