A quiet Pentecost Sunday around here. No visits to the clinic until Tuesday. We are praying that Mary Jo's stem cells are still doing those wonderful things that they have been doing since Mother's Day.
I walked to Mass this morning at the Cathedral of the Incarnation. The Cathedral is a little less than a mile from our apartment. I took several pictures after Mass.
At our churches back in Kentucky, we celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, by wearing red to symbolize the love of the Holy Spirit, and the tongues of fire that appeared over the heads of the apostles on Pentecost.
I didn't bring a red shirt to Nashville with me. So, I wore a bright orange one to Church instead. Evidently, the tradition of wearing red on Pentecost hasn't caught on down here. There were only two or three people in the assembly wearing red.
When I shook hands with the priest after Mass, he said aren't you afraid that you're going to get ran over wearing that shirt around here." I explained that it was as close to red as I could get today. I didn't think that the animosity between Vanderbilt and Tennessee fans was like we have between Louisville and Kentucky fans back home. Maybe, I'm wrong.
It wasn't a quiet day in downtown Nashville, though. Today and tomorrow is the grand opening of the brand new 2.1 million sq.ft. Music City Center. We drove around the outside one day. It is huge. We figured that there would be way to many folks down there for Mary Jo. Here's a video:
I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. Even though, none of us bought that $600 million winning ticket at the Publix in Zephyrhills, Florida. I think that I did see someone view the blog from Zephyrhills a few days ago, but probably not the person who won.
Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers.
