 Sudden promotion . . . .
. . . . so last night at our Chapter meeting, I filled in for a missing officer. The office is termed "Raphael," named for the angel. In closing, I rose to thank the presiding officer for not only allowing me to fill in, but for my meteoric rise from priest to angel, having skipped Archdeacon, Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal and Pope.
There's truly nothing like going high and fast!

Congratulations on your ascension.  Don't fly to close to the sun you don't want to test those wings too soon.

Congratulations Father Bill,
Be ye our angel unawares
If after Kirk ye bide a wee,
There's some would like to speak to ye,
If after Kirk ye rise and flee
We' all seem cauld and still to ye.
The one that's in the seat with ye
Is stranger here than ye, maybe.
All here have got their fears and cares,
Add ye your soul unto our prayers,
Be ye our angel unawares.
Blessings,
Seawolf

Very nice. I need such reminders now and then.

Shouldn't that be Seraph there Bill, or do you not like Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite?
(Making it from priest to the Seraphim, fifteen steps! Wow!)
