this morning #1401.

this morning, it appeared that a sacred bond had been broken. i’m not talking about my marital ties. those are just fine. i think. i’m speaking of the solemn bond between a man & his minister & our lord. during this morning’s service, i caught a handful of people staring at me. the first few times that i noticed, i just smiled at them. they tried to smile back but seemed somewhat strained in doing so. that’s when it dawned on me that something was up. last week, i’d made my yearly confession. it felt freeing to get my trespasses off my chest. what i didn’t expect was for father murphy to pass those secrets on to the congregation gossip queens. i mean, he’s got secrets too & he’d freak if those women knew.
