I went to the group Halloween party Saturday night! It was a blast! As you can see I went as a Priest! Little did I know that Sue, from the other group, was attending as a pregnant Nun! It was a hoot!

When I first arrived at Southern Nights, a girl dressed as a Leprechaun told me, "I like your outfit."

"What outfit?", I said.

"Your costume!", she replied.

"What costume?", I asked!

She began to laugh! She told me her boyfriend was Catholic and when I walked in, he said if this guy is a real priest he will go straight to the bar, if he is dressed up as a priest he will sit down.

One thing about it, I was authentic!

I had one couple come to me asking me to marry them. I told them I would love to but I was already married!

I had taken a Fed EX envelope, stripped off the plastic and spray painted it white. I would place it on my head like the Pope's hat and bless the crowd.

For my final act I took a six foot piece of rope from my bag and threw it on the floor and stood on it while wearing my Papal hat. "What am I now?", I asked.

"Pope on a rope!" was my answer!

We had the Fonz, a gypsy, saloon girls, Little Red Robin, Rodeo Clowns, clowns, Pirates, Santa, a cat, Indiana Jones, Wild Bill, Pochantas and Popeye, just to mention a few!

It was funny and fun!

I spent most of my Saturday looking for my costume. One thing about it, it was not fake, it was the real deal. Ended up getting it from the Christian Life Bookstore!

I had began working up a "Porta Confessional but didn't get it finished to take with me.

It would have gone something like this.

"Bless you my child. How long since your last confession?"

After listening, I would give them their penance. "Say 10 George Straits!" Or give me three waltz across Texas!

I really wanted to cut a "peep hole" through the veil!

What would have been a real hoot would have been to wear my shirt and collar to Southern Hills Sunday morning.

Maybe launch a hostile takeover!

On a different note I responded to an invitation to attend the worship ministry retreat at Southern Hills this coming Saturday!

This was one part of a challenge a friend and I have!
