Thank God for Tuesday nights. I am so glad I decided to get back in the "swing" of things by playing volleyball with other young adults at my parish on a pretty regular basis over the past couple of months.
Seriously, why did I wait so long?
Having not played since high school, I guess I was intimidated...but there was no need to be so. Everyone has been so encouraging and welcoming, even when many of us make mistakes. (I'm definitely in the middle/middle-bottom of the talent pool, but it's not for lack of effort. Ha ha.)
And it's good for the soul too - it's good to share conversation, laughs, and even a little bit of exercise. And when I see others from volleyball at Church or around the city, it's exciting and fun.
Plus, let's face it, a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, right?
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
