The POPE

Ok, so I told you that today deserved a post all to itself and this is why we got to see the pope in person and were 10 to 15 feet away from him. It was one of the coolest things ever. There is a guy that has great power all over the world and I get to see him. At the same time it was a very humbling experience here are hundreds of people getting so excited to see the pope who in their eyes comes from the line of Peter and he is God's messenger on earth. I mean do not get my wrong I loved getting to see him. By the way he is very cute old man, looks nice. But as I was standing there excited myself and could not believe that I had gotten this opportunity. I mean the history that is in the papal office, he once was the ruler of the known world and I got to see the Pope. But as I was standing there and I was thinking of you (Aunt Pam.) I could not help but think what if Christ were to have a weekly audience would people be as excited would as many people show up and cheer and clap the way that people did today. I mean I know some would but what about you? I am talking to myself here as well. Would I get excited to the point of tears as seen today. When there was a shout out for your group would you cheer and yell so that Christ would see you. Or would we go and sit quietly and enjoy all of it not saying a word. I hope and pray that isn't the case. I pray that more people would be there to see Christ than there was today but I wonder? We did get bless by the pop as well and the whole thing was something that I hope I never forget. That was Wednesday of the last week. Ciao from Rome
