RELIGIONCITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Tourney raises money to help kids

Nancy Kennedy GRACE NOTES The place where glory dwells Editor’s note: It’s been a short week for Nancy Kennedy so we’re re-running a Grace Notes from 2010 that we thought would make you smile.

n 1996, I wrote a book called “Mom on the Run.” In the style Iof the late Erma Bombeck, I wrote about running away from home to find “the place where glory dwells” (Psalm 26:8), because I was sure it wasn’t in my house, with my family. I wrote about footprints on the walls and kids who used their shirts to wipe pizza sauce from their faces, try to flush shoes down Special to the Chronicle the toilet and shove grapes up their The second annual Father Hoge golf event sponsored by Knights of Columbus Council 6391 ended by surpassing last year’s nose. participation and fundraising during a very challenging COVID-19 period. The results are in and the golf outing gifted $4,550 for the I wrote about used bandages on youths of St. John Paul II School and Our Lady of Good Counsel youth camp. Pictured from left are: Victor Greco, Steve Arcadipane, the the kitchen sink, grape jelly on Rev. Timothy Cummings, SJPII Principal Lee Sayago, the Rev. James Johnson, Stephanie Flaherty, Bill Grant and Rich Kilburg. Anchor door knobs, a perpetual pile of wet sponsors for the tourney were: the Chronicle, Eagle Buick/ GMC, Mike Scott Plumbing and Plantation on Crystal River. towels on the bathroom floor and a note saying, “I love you, Mom” taped over a hole in the wall after a baton-twirling mishap. I wrote about the time I hid in Christmas Eve in Bethlehem the hall closet as my girls shoved each other in the bathroom, hiss- ing, “I hate you,” to each other while I berated myself the whole time for not doing anything about it and for being a coward. However, I was tired of being the referee and didn’t want to deal with the chaos anymore. So I hid. I wrote about fighting and blam- ing and whining and complaining, about unfulfilled dreams and unan- swered prayers. At that time, I wanted my family and my home to be the place where glory dwelled, to be a family in which God was glorified, but I didn’t think that was possible. I thought we had to be a different kind of family, more huggy-kissy, more hand-holdy and together- nessy, more holy and righteous and prayerful. We didn’t even eat dinner to- gether any more because, despite repeatedly saying, “Don’t slide down the back of the chair — pull it out,” one daughter broke one of our four dining room chairs when she slid down the back one time too many. Three remaining chairs and four

The coronavirus pandemic and a strict lockdown dampened Christmas Eve celebrations. tempting. Constant little things like that made it seem that my family would never be what I imagined a family Helping the Family Resource Center should be. As I wrote the book, I kept com- ing back to something else the psalmist wrote: “I love the place where your glory dwells.” He also wrote: “God sets the lonely in fami- lies” (Psalm 68:6). I concluded that God had set the four of us Kennedys to be a place where he would cause his glory to dwell despite all of our dysfunctions. In my book I wrote, “In the place where glory dwells, life is anything but glorious. It is selfish, not self- less; sinful, not holy. It is weak. It is cowardly, boastful and rude. Yet, in spite of that, or maybe because of it, Glory set its sight on this very place, this very family.” “Glory spoke, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love,’ and came to dwell among us — we, the mess makers and promise breakers. We who go our own way and seek our own glory: We are the ones with whom Glory chose to dwell … not in a temple where all is perfect, not in a family without flaws, but with me, in my house, with my family.” God’s glory shines brightest in the darkness. His strength is stron- gest in our weakness. He sets the lonely in families and comes himself to dwell with those he calls his own — that includes me!

DETROIT — Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are rolling into the Motor City with a chance to clinch a spot in the playoffs. “This is why we play, to put your team in a place and give yourself an opportunity to compete for a championship,” Brady said. The six-time Super Bowl- winning quarterback and the Bucs (9-5) are a victory away from earn- ing a spot in the postseason for the first time since 2007. “I call them `Hat and T-Shirt’ games,” Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians said. “You get a hat and a T-shirt when you get in the play- offs. It’s a great feeling for those guys. That was the goal this year — it was to get in the dance.’’ The out-of-contention Detroit Lions (5-9) will likely be very ac- commodating Saturday at fan-free Ford Field. Detroit will be led by Robert Prince, its third head coach, be- cause interim coach Darrell Bev- ell became the NFL’s first head coach to miss a game because of COVID-19 protocols. The Lions will also be without defensive co- ordinator Cory Undlin and other assistant coaches because of con- tact tracing. “It’s super disappointing,“ said Bevell, who is 1-2 since replacing fired coach Matt Patricia. “I’m frustrated. Since we’ve started, I’ve tested negative. So, there’s that whole part of it. You don’t quite understand all the stuff that goes along with it, then there’s that drive that you want to be there.” HEATING UP Antonio Brown is coming off his most productive game since mak- ing his Bucs debut last month fol- Associated Press lowing an eight-game suspension Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller, right, kicks off as Ryan McCord holds to start the second half Nov. 28 against Missouri in Columbia, for violating the NFL’s personal Mo.
