If you had a mind to come to Confession in Martinsville this evening, hopefully you have long since made a good Act of Contrition and resolved to wait until the next time you see me.
I rarely concede anything to the weather. But this situation, I believe, calls for the prudent man to say to himself: “Time to say Vespers, pour a finger of whiskey, and start a Lord of the Rings DVD marathon.”

Father Mark,
You mean Rocky Mount ain’t dry? What’s a God-fearin’ Baptist to do? Pull down the shades?
In God we trust.
LIH,
