Yes

It is hard to believe that 15 years ago, I had the joy to say yes to the priesthood of Jesus Christ.  So many stops since then.... so many people. ... so many sacraments celebrated....  what a wonderful, humbling privilege!

The WiFi connection has been bad for the last couple of days so my regular picture laden posts won't publish.  I have made it as far as the gloriously quaint village of Atapuerca.   Remains of cavemen dating back nearly a million years ago have been found here.  They are the oldest human remains found in Europe.

More posting tomorrow when we make it into the large city of Burgos.  What grand blessings will the Lord have in store as I begin the next 15 years in service to Him and his people?!?  :))))

  1. Happy blessed anniversary! What an awesome way to reflect on and celebrate all of God's goodness. As I drive from Atlanta to Arkansas today I am clicking my mileage. I estimate that somewhere after we drive through Memphis and cross the Mississippi River into Arkansaa we will come close to 450 miles. A little further and we will drive the full length of your pilgrimage. This really puts it all into perspective! What a long journey you are on! Thank you for taking us along!

  6. Happy Anniversary! Treat yourself to "moleskin" a foot product favored by troops in the military for feet....they say it works great. Dr. Scholl makes it as well as others. Maybe a Rx in some town along the way? At any rate, happy happy day. We love you,
    Clare

  12. Fr. Kevin,
    Congrats on your 15 years as one of our men of the cloth. Reminds me of a verse from my college Bible courses--Romans 10:15--"And how can anyone preach unless they are sent. As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Please remember to care for your "feet" and bring us good news from this once in a lifetime opportunity.
    We love you,
    Herschel & Marie

  14. Happy belated Anniversary. Joshua and David love your posts. We remember the
    Burgos Cathedral. Isn't Burgos where EL SID is from? We truly admire your patience and fortitude to do this trip. Our kids keep asking us when we will be doing it next.
    We went to the Braves game on Father's Day and although we know you normally like angels, you will be glad to know the Braves beat them. We miss you!!
