So I weighed myself today. I have lost three pounds since my last weigh-in. Not a huge accomplishment, but it's almost 2% of my original weight.  I have finished a rough draft of the talk.  This came to me during my silent retreat two weeks ago, and I am thinking about scheduling a time to try it out on my Christian friends.  Nothing says friendship like being a guinea pig in the name of God's glory :>). 

I forgot to mention that Monday as I was leaving daily mass a guy that is a sponsor for one of the RCIA candidates stopped me as I was coming out.  He apparently overheard my conversation about our Poverty Awareness Walk and says he wants to get together with me after classes Sunday to talk about how we can make this bigger.  He's a social studies teacher at the high school in Coppell.  I think I'm also going to record some of my talks and post them. We'll see how that goes tonight.
