One beauty of Catholicism is discovering members of the family I never knew I had. Fr. Javier joined us in Gillette for Holy Week. He was here to help out with the Spanish speaking community so I thought I'd show him a bit of the Catholic Cowboy Way while we were at it.
Originally from Colombia, Fr. Javier Muñoz is a priest for the Archdiocese of Atlanta Georgia. Not too different from Campbell County.
In the middle of our spring winter storm I took him up to meet Mollie and Chief. It was love at first sight.
Throughout the week I taught him the joys of feeding the herd...
Introduced him to the goodness of Maverik Bonfire burritos...
And got him in the middle of Chief.
After all our fun adventures, we settled down for a Buffalo Burger at Pokey's restaurant.
In return, he treated me to the movie Father Stu.
Happy Easter brother.
God puts amazing people in my life, and Fr. Javier is no exception. A cowboy can smell inauthenticity a mile away, and I'm here to tell you that in Fr. Javier there is no duplicity. He is a Catholic priest. And now I also consider him a friend. Keep up the Good work, partner. I know our paths with cross again, though only God knows when. Peace.
