Father Chad

I was once again honored to attend an ordination for Chad. This time he actually became a priest on August 11th. Goodness. Had someone asked me 25 years ago if Chris Murrell would marry a priest I would have told them they were crazy. Chad was so wonderful to s when Ryan was in the hospital. His prayers and words were beautiful. He seemed to know what to say. I guess that is why he will make a great priest. Watching him be ordained was more moving than I would have guessed. I actually kept tearing up. It was amazing to feel what was in that room. Especially when they all laid their hands on him. It was awesome. After the service Chad being newly consecrated he basically went down a line and blessed anyone that wanted to be blessed. I took the boys and went up there. Chad was so sweet. William did great. Chad laid his hands on William's head and William did what I said and kissed Chad's hands. Jake took a little help but he kind of did it. It just hit me as I typed this that I said 25 years ago up in the first couple of sentences. Man we are getting old....
Have a blessed week,
