At the top in what way? Serious question

What we call "success", Q. Personal power, status, affluence, adventurous spirit with proper vision of living for worthy challenges, and hopefully 'worldly' loves that reach to the spirit.

Father Mark found it somewhat ironic as he left the hectic life of "Administrative Management" and as he undertook the great work that he did in reviving the RCC in the Amite area, and the spirit of those in the CC. It was so big and successful that he was immersed neck deep in "Administrative Management". He got it. He told me one time in a serious vein about a serious subject that "there are no coincidences". I think about today, and the car spinning him into his next life. There is no doubt that his Mary was waiting on the other side of the 'tunnel'.

I think about the guy in the other thread, lamenting that he slaughtered the cow that he raised, and likely petted and became appreciative of. It's all about Love. The answer to your "serious question". If one has that love, it's like a pair of yellow shades, everything is yellow. (Brilliant sunset this evening; no coincidences). With Love, the whole World is colored with appreciation, respect, reverence, and a spiritual urge and worthy challenge to serve said vision...and share it. One does not have to be a Priest to do that, one can be anything. An LSU player or a Bud Light truck driver or a working joe like the many on this Forum.

I do not know how much Love was in FM's heart, but I know that he was committed to knowing the Truth and following it with abandon. And given where this Nation is headed, that is a good thing and our only hope that we may long remain "at the top". Secure and affluent.
