This morning was Joseph's first time serving at Mass. He was a little nervous before Mass.
After Mass, he confessed that last night he had a dream that he was at church to serve for the first time, but we were there early--before the 8 a.m. Protestant service that precedes the 9:30 Catholic Mass. In his dream, he put on his cassock and surplice and was ready to serve, but didn't have a candle, and it was time for the entrance procession, so he went forward with the procession anyway, but then he realized that it was the Protestant service, and he wasn't supposed to be there, so he had to escape through a pew and out the side door of the church.
Whew! Thank goodness it was only a dream!
You did a fine job, Joseph. Dad and I are very proud of you.

Hi Joseph,
You make a GREAT server . . . Grandmom and I are very proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!
About your dream, I know how you feel. A couple of years ago, while visiting Uncle Brian, Magdalena and Christopher, Grandmom and I went to Mass in Menlo Park, California . . . or we THOUGHT we did! We were in a hurry, almost late, so we parked in front of what we thought was the Catholic church, quickly went in to a very crowded service, genuflected, and entered a pew, and made the sign of the cross. Then we looked around and saw people staring at us - WHOOPS, it was a Protestant church. Needless to say, we left rather quickly and went down the street a block to the Catholic church for Mass! Yep, it was EMBARASSING.
Love, Pa-Pa-Pa
