Andy becomes at oblate at Mt. Tabor Benedictine Monastery

Although I posted this on Your Family Blog, I'm posting it again here where it also seems appropriate:

On Sunday, March 1, during Morning Prayer with the Benedictine sisters of Mt. Tabor Monastery, I was received into the community as an oblate. Having studied the Rule of St. Benedict intensely for more than a year, I promised to support the Benedictine community with my prayers and a way of life that would give glory to God, especially as that glory is manifested by a life of hospitality, the special mission of Mt. Tabor Monastery. With June, Harry Smiley, and Danielle and Stan Brown, and all the sisters supporting me with their prayers, I'm looking forward to a renewed prayer life and the rededication of my life to obedience to the Gospel.
