Easter Services....and a little story.....


......Anybody out there know what I do for a living?

Well, and I know I'm not s'posed to give knowledge unrelated to Blogging.... I am a Division Manager for one of the most highly respected Electrical Contractors here in California.......

Part of my duties is the semi-official, humorous Title of Official Company Catholic.

Which, basically means, that since my one and only Boss, the owner of this 60+ million dollar a year company, is a Devout Catholic........

I pretty much take care of the Los Angeles Diocese Churches in the Ventura area, maintenance, festivals, and fund raising......

These last two week, I have had a crew working at San Buenaventura Mission, repairing lights in the main Mission, and 'attempting' to fix the 1957 era electrically operated Bell system.

Fr. Mike and Fr. Tom are great guys.......and they REALLY wanted the Bells to ring from the Mission.....but alas, even after rebuilding the darn 'gonger', "No Ringgie the Bells"...

One of my Men, Mark, went to Fr. Mike and volunteered to manually ring the Bells for Easter Sunday!

He'll be up in the Bell Tower, circa 1782, playing a modern day Quasimodo, all for The Glory of God. (with OSHA approved hearing protection of course)........

May that you who pray, put a word upstairs for this young Man. He's going to make a lot of People attending Easter Services happy.....not to mention the fact that if Angels really do sing, they'll do it loudly.

A Blessed Easter to all.

As the Founder of this last of the Missions woud say.....“ Siempre Adelante”

Always Forward.

He is Risen.......


.......one of my now few and far between weekend Posts, because on weekends, "Wollfes Westestess......" Which of course means, that with M'Lady Dragn in my life, and the Cubs.....well let's just say that Wollf only rests from blogging......

But today is Easter.....thus the title of the Post. Church this morning was one of the most touching, thoughtful sermons that I've been to......

This evening, Wolf the Elder's best friend and momma and grandma are coming over for Easter dinner.....it will be a hoot, great People.

They also happen to be Jewish. Personally, I think that is cool beyond belief. We......Dragn and Wolf the Elder, and Lil'Wolfie, have been to their house for both Seder and Hanukka dinners and Fellowship.....

We, Dragn and I, are truly honored that they would accept this particular reciprocity......

One of the many reasons that I wholeheartedly support Israel and her Children.....well, a lot of it is that the Jews only hold us "Goyim" to the Noetic" SEVEN Commandments.....since I've broken a lot of "our" TEN......well, just say that I'm appreciative......

Being a Catholic, not a "Good" one by the way....it was a bit odd to go to the local Protestant Church for Easter Service.....but you know what? I had a Great time, and the Service and Singing of Praises was pretty darn nice.

With my backgound of Catholicism and Amerind Lore, I have some "odd" Beliefs anyway....but as I said, it was a Great Service....ecumenical, if you will......but I really wish they had Hymnals.....or at least a "bouncing ball" on the video words for the songs.....

Anyway, wish us a good time at dinner, and remember the most Important part of our particular bent on Faith......

And, it happens to be the Answer to the Greeting that I titled this Post with..............

He is Risen INDEED!

Happy Easter to all of you.
Wollf and Dragn....and all the Cubs.
