The Many Faces

Jeff Thornberg, most commonly referred to as the Episcopal priest, but mainly by himself alone. I have always and will always see Jeff as the plaid wearing, 80's short shorts pelvic thrusting, Don Juan's obsessed, always up for a good time, smile big enough to share palanca with everyone, tender caring, politically charged guy with the red jeep. We've had many a spiritual talk, but your profession doesn't define who you are. Jeff Thornberg cannot be confined to a title. How else could he throw the best beer-pong parties resulting in a massive consumption of alcohol and rampant fun for all who go? Or give a talk at a Catholic retreat? Or date a Catholic from a strong conservative background? There's more to Jeff than that.

And don't worry friend, moving is just geography. How else can you spread your love to more people if you stay in one place? Get excited to start your ministry, but more importantly, start a new sequence in your life that has the potential to change the world. Don't sweat the small stuff, because you can do great things.

I'm going to miss sneaking downstairs to defy Trudy's law and the late night Jack-in-the-box drive-thrus, but you're needed in New York. Make us proud.
