desecration

Thursday, July 24, 2008

At Catholic Online: some guy desecrated a host. Regardless of whether it was a consecrated host, the intent is what it is.

The grumpy side of me desires that God strikes this fella in his tracks. See, I need some training.

hooray!

Yay! I finally finished the fence. It's not the whole fence, just that one side. I estimated it to be 43 feet long. Now I need to turn my attention to the house.

Check out Little Way Design. I'm so proud of them. They're friends of ours.

Remote Area Medical

Sunday, July 13, 2008

I just heard about Remote Area Medical (RAM). Free medical services provided by volunteers. Very awesome. It's founded by former co-star of "Wild Kingdom." Remember that show? I loved that show. I also saw the bleak reality that a huge number of Americans simply cannot afford health care. Been there. Check out the link and read more about them.

No, I haven't seen it, but it's gotta be good stuff.

The Pact

"A gritty, provocative true-life story of three
friends from the 'hood,
Rameck Hunt, Sampson Davis, and George Jenkins, who made a pact in high school to find a way to go to college and then medical school. They not only accomplished this, but they're now spreading the word to inspire other inner-city kids to stay off of drugs, out of gangs and to take the educational route to a betterlife."


changing of the guards

We have new pastors at my parish. Not sure how I feel as I drive by each day to and from work and remind myself that our former pastors are not there. I know I'm excited for them: a new adventure, new horizons. I suppose I do miss them. I'm also excited to have our new pastors. New horizons for us as well. I also remind myself that I should also remember who IS there: Jesus, same as always, never changing, ever constant.
