Saints Lives, for children
A conversation, well two actually, after Liturgy prompted me to write this post. First, I love reading lives of Saints. Whether as short pieces in a collection of lives or a full length work. I used to love reading theology. In a sense I still do, because the saints are living theology. There’s some good [...]
Quotes on Beauty

Hobbies, Part Four

They are poorly defined spirits who protect people in day to day life. Four balam stand [...]

They’ve already infiltrated and planted moles into every level of gov’t, fed and state. They coordinate a few terrorist attacks, the Prez. declares martial law and they take over. They even have a plan [...]

Some reflection
My blogging discipline seems to be related to to things. The first is “financial and job” stress. I have never been much of a stressed-out type. But I notice that I blog much more when I’m sailing along in life. Recently we’ve been having some financial difficulties and I haven’t been blogging… Secondly is simply [...]
