Edinburgh Garrison RSM - For LL

 


Behold the power of the RSM, and well done those boys. LL, this short infovid's for you, respect. In other news, we had our diocesan convention this morning and it was incredibly, mercifully short. Upshot? They made me a Rural Dean. What does a Rural Dean even do?



I guess we'll find out. My guess is... fish, shoot, listen to Waylon, ride again, drive rigs, say Mass and get rural on a Dean tip. But seriously, if you'd said in the mid '90s and beyond that I'd be Priest-in-Charge of two country missions between Dallas and Waco, well, I'd have laughed.

How preposterous. Hey, the joke was on me, and I thank God for it. No kidding.

Your Pal,

LSP

Having never heard the term before of course I googled it. Should we now all address you as “the Very Reverend”?

Dean LSP has a nice ring to it. Presumably congratulations are in order.

It would be better if your first name had been Dean instead of Michael. I realize that the genie is out of the bottle, but Dean Dean has a serious ring to it. (sigh)

Is it Right Reverend or Very Reverend?

Does this mean you will be known as LSD now ? (Lone Star Dean) Congratulations!

LSP said...

I fear, glasslass, that that's what I've become. Huh.

LSP said...

Thanks, Wild, I appreciate that.

LSP said...

It's VERY Reverend, LL. But the question is, does the not inconsiderable power of the office decrease in the city?

No. It INCREASES.

What does a rural dean do? More work for the same pay, I should imagine.
