pray for us > and a few things

I was going to say I didn't have much to say but that's not really true. I just don't have it totally worked out yet. So, in the mean time, I'll say not much and let you know what I will be saying. How 'bout that? OK? Fine, OK then. And while we're at it, please pray for us - the Creech family, if you get a chance. We're having some difficult times around here. We seem to be doing OK for the moment, but it's still a little hard. We'd appreciate it. So, here are a few things...
  1. I believe The Royal Tenenbaums is officially one of my favorite movies. It's often on the Bravo Channel and I can rarely resist it's magnetism. I saw it full through a while back and liked it then too. Every time I see it again, or even pieces of it, I'm drawn into it like, I suppose, people are often drawn into good novels. It makes me laugh. It makes me cry. It actually makes me kind of happy. I could probably explain it further but it would take too long. I'm sure plenty of people don't like it or get it or whatever. That's fine. My wife doesn't like it. I still love her. Anyway, there you go.

  2. I've been constructing some thoughts on the concept of mortal sin, the threat of hell, and the idea of fundamental option. Yes, I think about things like that. I'm not quite ready to lay all that out here yet, but it's coming.

  3. "Come to me all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon your shoulders and learn from me for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your souls will be refreshed for my yoke is easy and my burden light." I need to remember that. Yoke, easy. Burden, light. Yoke, easy....

  4. I've also been thinking about the difficulty some other Christians have when hearing some Catholics talk about "receiving Christ in the Eucharist." There seems to be some misunderstanding, perhaps even among some Catholics who are talking about this, that this is the ONLY way they can or do receive Christ or have any real reception of Jesus into themselves. I'd like to write about that a bit. Hopefully I can say something helpful. We'll see.

three quotes |::

"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
