\u201cThe one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.\u201d 1 Thessalonians 5:24<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God has used some of the most wonderful people to mold and shape me, over my lifetime. I\u2019m in tears as I write this because I am incredibly thankful. It\u2019s as if God passed me from one person to the next, but in perfect order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list begins with my parents, siblings, neighbors, my late wife Joanne, my present wife Louise, my daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, Christian friends and authors, strangers, priests, nuns, pastors and ministers of different faiths and each of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sister June Canoles was one of those people. She was not Catholic when called to be a nun. In her senior year of high school, June was dating a boy, playing violin in the Monterey Symphony Orchestra and riding motorcycles. She could have done anything. \u201cBut, she thought, if I become a Sister my life will be bigger, with wider influence.\u201d June chose to become a Sister and I was one of the beneficiaries of that choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louise and I went to see June, right before Christmas and spoke to her on the phone a few weeks ago. Last Week Sister June passed away, at the age of 90. Thank you, June, for your wisdom, craziness, kindness, patience, understanding, love and friendship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
June was a great graphologist and played SPOONS\u201d. https:\/\/snddenwest.org\/canoles1\/. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank You, Lord, for Sister June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have I stopped to recognize who God has used to mold and shape me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
