Bluebird of Happiness
Sunday October 7th. I walked up the stairs to Jim Searles’ dream studio. The afternoon sun was streaming through the windows. A man tickled the keys on the grand piano. I looked around the room for someone I knew. No. Just strangers with cameras. I got some food, (Jim throws a party right), and picked a chair. Soon Jim was around with the champagne. A man with a red shirt sat down next to me. One side of the shirt had Al embroidered on it and the other side had Creative with a Mickey Mouse pin above the word.
St. Francis Institute Milwaukee
“…there is a river whose streams make the city glad…” -Psalm 46
Recently I enjoyed the privilege of interviewing Capuchin Friar Jerry Schroeder, Pastor of St. Ben’s on 9th and State and Interim Director of the new St. Francis Institute Milwaukee in the Capuchin Center on 4th and Brown. We met at the Center, and Jerry gave me a grand tour, sharing Franciscan and Capuchin history, stories of St. Francis, and the good news about the new Institute.
