What I Didn't Say
St. Joseph's--When I was a kid, I attended St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church for a couple of years. I don't recall ever thinking about who it was named after or why. Joseph had to be a saint to do what he did. Amazingly, he didn't do anything that a lot of other people haven't done and still do. I assume there are still a lot of saints running around.
Dreams--Most of my dreams have absolutely no significance. I've had a few that ultimately meant something, but most of them are just plain forgettable. I certainly never dreamed about angels. Maybe, then, if I ever do dream of an angel I'll believe what the angel tells or shows me. I wonder what Joseph's other dreams were like.
