Notes from a parish cat and his author Julie Mackenzie

My photo
I am Father Tom Fish, esteemed member of the religious team at Temptation of Christ Parish in the novels by author Julie Mackenzie. As to my background, I was invited into the rectory as a stray, laid on the charm, and was invited to stay, even honorarily ordained and no less spiritual than my sidekick Father Will. He dotes on me to high heaven and forgives all of my street cat proclivities, whatever the hell that means.

Wisdom Like A Bolt of Lightning

Hi, everybody!

The start of another week, and I got to thinking how often I come up with pearls of wisdom that people seem to like. Hey, don't underestimate us cats! We don't wag tails and pant. (My dog friends...don't growl!) We think. We ponder. Just because we don't have a pad and pencil to write our thoughts down doesn't mean they don't exist. Honestly!

Here's one, for instance (It was "think," but we know that already):




Another quote from me (actually, I have to give credit to the housekeeper, although she won't like it. She gets so silly!):

                   
"I'll keep looking for what I'm looking for."


And, a couple to share from the church bulletin:




What do you think, my friends?

Have a good week! See you in February!

Tom

Seems like I haven't been stuck with any wise lightning lately. Yes I have searched for things and gone into rooms, forgetting why in the first place! You blink therefore you are is a rather profound statement about reality and existence. Have you done the math on that yet?
