A funny thing happened

I was driving home tonight and trying to figure out what topic we should use for our inauguaral RCIA meeting tomorrow. I drove past a lady from my church and BINGO - the light went on! She is always praying the Rosary - my topic will be prayer!

This evening I started jotting down some notes and I hauled out my catechist's manual with the lesson plan. It had suggestions for different readings appropriate to explaining prayer. I got my bible off the shelf to look them up, opened the cover and some old notes fell out. They were practically the same things I had scribbled down not minutes before! I think I am on the right track.

Please pray for me and the people I am meeting with tomorrow. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not the message - I am just...the messenger.
