Get a grip!
I signed up for a weekend retreat at The Monastary of the Holy Spirt (in GA) the other day. The retreat is "The Basics of Christian Yoga". I'm pretty excited about it. I'm also a little nervous. In registering for the retreat, I spoke to my first real life Father or Priest. This may seem mundane to others, but it was an interesting and new experience for me. I didn't really expect to have the reaction I did. I was sort of unprepared for the call as he called me on my cell phone while I was shopping for cards at the mall. He introduced himself as Father (insert name). All of the sudden, I thought to myself "Behave, Lisa". Then I thought, "how do you behave in front of a Priest?, What do I call him?, How do I talk to him? Uh-Oh...get a grip!" In thinking back over it, it wasn't so much I was concerned what the Priest would think of me as much as I was concerned about my ignorance on how to show proper respect to his position.
