Thank you for your votes! Although the Crescat has not made it official yet, I believe that I have won the \u201cMost Under Appreciated Blog\u201d category. I\u2019ll let you know when I know for sure.<\/p>\n

Last night, I woke up in a cold sweat at 4 a.m. and began to pray furiously that I would lose. Why would I do such a thing after begging so ardently for votes, you may ask? Because just two days ago I realized that I was going head-to-head in that category with a priest. And not just any priest\u2026an awesome priest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night, I decided that Fr. Mathis totally deserved to win over me. I write about changing diapers and cleaning up puke; he writes posts clarifying the rules of fasting for those of us who have been woefully misinformed until five minutes ago.<\/a><\/p>\n

I actually woke up this morning disappointed (and, okay, also delighted) to discover myself ahead in the polls. (Keeping it real here, guys. False humility is not humility at all.) So I decided to write a post dedicated to Fr. Mathis<\/a>. It\u2019s not a great post, really, but it was the best I could do while putting my two-year-old in yet another time out for throwing sand in her cousin\u2019s eyes. It actually doesn\u2019t express (even remotely) the depth of admiration I feel for the priests of our Church, nor the pervasive peace I feel when I even so much as see a priest in a cassock, but it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n
