While waiting on contact from the OCDS, I decided to look further into the Dominicans. Knowledge is power and it certainly isn’t going to hurt to look at other orders. The nearest Domincan community is in Idaho, which somewhat puts a hamper on things. The only third orders that I know exist in my [...]
Not So Good Stuff A priest in my diocese (Fr. H) has viral encephalitis. He’s been taken out of ministering for a while (many months) so he can recover. He definitely has a long, hard road ahead of him and the future is rather … grim.
A church in the diocese Next Door to [...]
Okay, I can’t remember if I posted this desperate plea already. I’ve been foaming at the mouth for a copy of Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the Hours for quite some time now. The one volume one, not the four-volume. Currently I’m using Universalis for my needs, but I really enjoy having a hard [...]
I’m rather stoked. My mom had a six-month checkup today for her Parkinson’s. She was very happy to tell me that she passed all the tests put forth and that she doesn’t need a medication adjustment for now. I could tell how thrilled she was even though we were on the phone. She’s a [...]
“I behaved bravely whenever the devil tried to provoke me. I know it is cowardly to fight a duel, so I turned my back on him and never looked at him face to face. I ran towards Jesus and told Him I was ready to shed my last drop of blood to declare [...]
Today marks the official One Month Anniversary of Confirmation. It probably has been one of my more difficult months, on all levels. It’s not like it hasn’t been worth it, but it definately has been much harder than I was expecting.
I’ve been working on writing this post most of today, and I’ve not [...]
I suppose that this summer I will be finding a lot out about myself. A lot of my distractions (in a good way) have been displaced in that I can take a lot of time to myself and not have people to interrupt me, or homework that I have to do, or classes to [...]
I have several shots of my mom and I. Most of them turn out like this, absolutely random and wacky. But, that’s how I like them. I don’t like to have formal shots, all posed and stiff. I like the silliness, the giggling, and the fun we have with pictures. Not everything between [...]
I’m getting whapped – hard – by the “I have no idea what You’re trying to teach me” stick. It makes me want to get the quote from my last post painted on my wall, so I could see it every day.
The situation is such: my university has suspended my entire financial aid [...]
I found this quote while compiling a post (to be posted when it’s complete). I want to post it now, simply because it’s so simple, but at the same time, so deep.
In a dark hole I have found cheerfulness; in a place of bitterness and death I have found rest. While others weep [...]
