There aren't many occasions in life when you find yourself playing blackjack with a Catholic priest, but apparently, a pilgrimage to Greece is one of them. Somewhere along the way, during our Footsteps of St. Paul pilgrimage, I found myself and several others, taking Fr. Bernard to a casino in Thessaloniki. It certainly wasn't the part of the itinerary I had spent years studying, but it turned into one of those unexpected memories that make a trip memorable. And, honestly, there ain't nothing quite like playing blackjack with a priest! That moment probably says something about the pilgrimage as a whole. It was a trip centered on faith, Scripture, history, and the life of St. Paul, but it was also a chance to laugh, enjoy the company of others, and experience a country I had never visited before. Sometimes we get so caught up in what we think a religious experience is supposed to look like that we forget there is room for the ordinary, unexpected, and downright funny moments...
