Tagged

By Fr. Dennis | April 22, 2008

Carole tagged me, and I usually don’t play along, but today I thought, “what the heck.”

1. The rules of the game get posted on the beginning.
2. Each player answers the rules about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read his blog.

What I was doing ten years ago:
Starting my new job in the sales department at Venture Technologies in Memphis.

Five things on my To-Do list today:
1. Morning Prayer.
2. Spirituality of Priesthood class.
3. Practice concelebrating (dry mass).
4. Attend real mass.
5. Attend Theology of the Body lecture (Fr. Robert Hogan).

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Endow Catholic school scholarships in Memphis
2. Start a Catholic radio station in Memphis.
3. Fund FOCUS campus ministry programs at every college in my diocese.
4. Pay off the Diocesan debt.
5. Help my best friend start a goat farm.

Three of my bad habits/qualities:
1. Eating too much, eating the wrong things, not exercising.
2. Waiting to do things. Some call it procrastination.
3. Not always knowing what’s on my calendar / to-do list.

Five places I’ve lived:
1. Memphis, Tennessee
2. Columbus, Ohio
3. Birmingham, Alabama
4. St. Meinrad, Indiana
5. St. Peter, Missouri

    Hi Dennis,

    I just came here from Uncle Jim’s place. It is great to hear about your vocation to the priesthood. Many prayers for you between now and June.

    Hey! I have to say that I haven’t been ‘tagged’ since grade school… and I’ve never blogged… so today was a first. Thanks! Can’t wait to see you in June!
