Once a year the clergy of the diocese of Fort Worth go on retreat at Montserrat, which is a Jesuit house on Lake Dallas. It's a silent retreat, except for the first evening, which features the civilised custom of a cocktail hour followed by supper.
I sat with the bishops and suggested a new deployment strategy for incoming clergy. It went like this:
LSP: Bishops! I have a new deployment strategy for the diocese.
Bishops: Yes?
LSP: It's very simple.
Bishops: Good.
LSP: Yes.
Bishops: Well, what is it?
LSP: If you can't ride and you don't shoot you can't get in.
Bishops: Ah.
The assorted prelates seemed to like the wisdom of my plan and I look forward to its implementation in the coming years.
Stay on the horse and shoot straight.
Cheers,
LSP
