...did you ever just start writing a blog post when you had idea what was going to come out from word to word? I know you haven't, Kyle, so I don't have to wonder about that. I've been sort of blocked up lately about what to say on here. I'm not one to quit blogging for a while in order to take a rest, so I guess I'll keep writing - something. I'm not sure what that is really, though, so stream-of-consciousness will have to do I suppose. What's in my head? Well, wouldn't you love to know. I'm not going to get totally into what all's going on in my huge cranium at the moment. Maybe that's part of why I'm having a hard time posting anything substantial. The substantial things I'm thinking about aren't really ready to be exposed at the moment. Patience children. Life has been busy lately too. Mostly in not too bad of a way. Just lots going on. Conor, my only son, plays baseball and he has lots of games and practice. I'm one of those parents who takes his son to practice and stays there to watch and see what's going on. We go to the games, one of which, last night, lasted until about 11:00pm, yowza. Katey, my oldest child/daughter, graduated from high school. I told you that. I've been fishing a little more lately. I told you that too. See, this is where it gets boring for most of the people who read my blog. You guys come, I'm taking an educated guess here, to read something a little deeper, spiritual reflections, thoughts on church and community and spiritual formation and monasticism. Not much of that going on recently. Sorry about that. It'll churn up again I'm sure. And this week is going by vvveeeeerrryyyy slloooooowwwllly - what's up with that. More later. Don't give up on me. Here are some pictures for you to look at in the mean time. Pax vobiscum.
"Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss." John Wesley
"Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." Fulton J. Sheen
"...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
