Here are some observations from my heart for you on your pilgrimage of faith in the real world. They are the comments of one who has walked the trails of intensive graduate scholarship (ll years), entrepenurial business (20 years), and pastoral ministry (13 years). These reflections are meant to ease the way for those of you of a questioning nature. I hope they will be helpful. If not, then join Ben (my Black Lab) and me on a stroll through imagination's fields and have a good time. Fr. Gage
