Happy Trails
Today is the birthday of Texans Nanci Griffith and George W. Bush. It is also the feast day of Saint Roy Rogers and the alleged saint Thomas More.
Seeking spiritual guidance from the life of Paulist "jazz priest" Norman J. O'Connor (see previous entry), who worked at a rehab called "Straight and Narrow," I did a Google search on "Nanci Griffith" + "Straight and Narrow." At the top of the resulting list was a website that might have pleased Saint Roy:
Welcome to the Wild West Show!
Happy trails, indeed.
The one thing that prevented him from giving himself to that kind of life was that he could not shake off the desire of the married state. He chose, therefore, to be a chaste husband rather than an impure priest.
~sigh~
Poor St. More. He wanted more, and couldn’t get it.

He was indeed a man for all seasons. I wonder if he would have appreciated my latest post?
