In Service To The People of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church

It’s been a long time since I have worn an alb in service as a Lay Eucharistic Minister at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Today it felt great to be back in action helping my priest and deacon serve communion to all at church this morning.

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to my heroes. My dad and granddad. I love you both.

Dad, it’s your second Father’s Day in eternity and I know you are celebrating today with your dad and the other fathers who have joined the company of Saints. We miss you very much. I always wish you were here. I love you.

In The Heights: A Non-Spoiler Review

Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the greatest creators on broadway and on screen. He made a masterpiece in “In The Heights” which is about the Washington Heights neighborhood of NYC and its residents who are experiencing changes in the community and personally. This movie is a classic tale of friendship, family and celebrating Latin heritage.

This is a musical that brings some fantastic original pieces along with great choreography to the big screen. Miranda’s music is like a fireworks display with big booming numbers with subtle tunes. I really liked this movie and the Latinx cast was fantastic. Anthony Ramos as the lead character was mesmerizing and told the story of The Heights that sucked me in. I recommend this movie to everyone whether you see it in the theatre or on HBO Max.
