Last night Dan and I went to our E-Team meeting with our friends from Church (E-team is for Evangelization Team). It was a great night. We shared a delicious meal and discusssed Pope John Paul IIs Novo Millenio Inuente (At the Beginning of the New Millenium). We talked about Christ as the heart of the Church, Reconciliation (Confession) as the place God shows us his compassionate heart and holiness as the endeavor of everyone everywhere, not just for a chosen few. What a blessed evening we had.
Until someone uttered the word ejaculation.
Yes, we were all adults. No, there wasn't a lot of wine (just enough, not too much). And yes, it did set off a great chain of giggles. First quietly supressed, and then full force gales when Jennifer tried to define ejaculations as short, quick prayers that just come forth in really short bursts. It took a few minutes for all to recover. Especially yours truly.
I love being Catholic.
Oh, and Tina, the reason I couldn't stiffle my giggles for quite a few minutes longer than everyone else was because I was composing this post in my head.
Days until Lent: 5 Are you ready?

Joy...Joy...Joy,
I was hoping someone else's mind was where my un-Christian thoughts were! I figured by the giggling that you were & I think that if it would have been just us two that we could have laughed all night about it!! I think everyone else was thinking about prayer, but no, we had to go back to our junior high years when everything takes on a sexual meaning :) Anyways, thanks for forever posting it on the internet, lest I ever let that moment slip my mind. That is right up there with Father Jeremy's "hot dog" statement. I wish he could have heard this one!! Let's get together sometime soon & reminisce so we can giggle like school girls again. What a hoot!! Take care! Tina
Another note...
I noticed the word "ejaculations" was highlighted, so I was curious. Thank you for the website! I now can have my own list of ejaculations to spit out daily. That didn't sound right...
Are you giggling again?!?! :)
(If anyone else is reading this, I apologize, but this is meant for Joy to read, so no more snooping!) ;o)
Tina my dear, you are too much! Yes, I am giggling up a storm. Fr. Jeremy's hot dog statement, I can't take it anymore! I hope no one else is reading this ... I hope neither of us run for office someday.
