Watching Eagles Soar (2013)
““Good sermon this morning, Father.”
“Glad you approve.” Father John O’Malley took Nathan Birdsong’s brown, outstretched hand. It had the firm strength of dried leather. He patted the Arapaho on the shoulder and reached for the next hand as parishioners spilled through the double doors of the church and out into the warm sun bathing the grounds of St. Francis Mission on the Wind River Reservation. Several others pressed into the half circle of Arapahos clustered on the sidewalk, waiting pati...ently to shake the pastor’s hand and say a few kind words about this Sunday’s sermon—even those he’d caught nodding off—before they headed around the corner of the church toward doughnuts and coffee in Eagle Hall.
It was a good ten minutes before Father John had greeted the last congregant. He bounded up the concrete steps of the stoop that passed for a porch in front of the white stucco church and stopped. Someone was watching him.MoreLess
