Seeing through new lenses

Sad because you missed the show today?  
Fear not! We have lots of great links, stories and info!

Kathleen and I got to visit with Fr. Bob Konopa today. Fr. Bob told us about how he received his calling to be a Franciscan Friar later in life at age 30, after he had been an accountant for 10 years. A native of Wisconsin, Fr. Bob shared some memories of growing up in a small town, including going to school in a one-room schoolhouse! 

Fr. Bob's concept for his book developed from his understanding of how God sees us is oftentimes different from how we see ourselves. He shared with us a story of when he was a small child at school in that one-room schoolhouse and he was asked to read an eye chart. Fr. Bob learned he needed eyeglasses. He said that when he put on his glasses, it was like seeing things for the first time.

God You Must Have Me Confused with Someone Else is full of stories and life lessons from Fr. Bob. We were honored to have him on the Way Home Show.
