Hello and welcome to Ponds for the Coinness. My name is Father Gregory Pine and I'm a Dominican

friar of the province of St. Joseph and I am back here in Freeberg, first off, a word

of apology. I think when I scheduled this live stream, I had just come back to Europe

and I thought that I changed my time settings on my computer. It appears that I hadn't.

So I set it for 3PM, European time instead of setting it for 3PM, Eastern Standard time.

So my sincere apologies for that. For those of you who joined at 3PM and were disappointed

or maybe relieved that you had gotten back an hour of your life, I apologize, regardless

of whether you were related or depressed. But I'm back here in Freeberg as of a couple

days ago and I think that my time settings are now basically good. So we should be cool

going forward. At least he says that with a modicum of confidence, fearful of the fact

that he may indeed have more problems. So I haven't been in Freeberg for a while.

I don't know if you care about Ponds for the Coinness videos or the ones that I do but

you may have noticed changing backgrounds. I pre-recorded a handful of them so I gave the

impression of being in Freeberg for longer than I in fact was. But this summer was full

with all kinds of good things. So we did some God's planning events. So we had a God's

planning pilgrimage. We did 12 days on the community of Santiago de Compostela which was

awesome. And yeah, I talked about that with Matt in the most recent episode that we did

at the end of July. So I won't go into it further. We also did a God's planning episode

on it called the Camino in Review which I enjoyed which is no indication of whether or

not you will enjoy it but I enjoyed it. I just want you to know that. And then we had

three God's planning retreats in the United States. So we had one for young adults, one

for all comers and then one for men's wilderness retreat. And they all went well, they're sweet.
