On being a theo-blogger: I don't know what to say about it really. In my blogging history, I guess I've been considered a theological and ecclesiological thinker. People seem to like what I have to say about certain things. A few might think I'm a nut, but whatever, maybe they're right a little bit. I've appreciated being able to write things that connect with people over the years. I do actually plan to take a lot of these things, and some more, and publish them in the form of a book one day. That might be fun. Anyway, I want to keep doing this, but honestly, as a Catholic it's a little harder to know what to say. That might sound odd, with the rich, deep well that is the world of Catholic theology. I'm not, nor am I trying to be, some kind of official "Catholic theologian." I doubt I'll ever be one of those. I tend to skip around a little more in the mystical theology arena anyway. I guess that's a bit more "open." I doubt I'll be winning any Catholic blogger awards any time soon either. That's fine. I'll just be a blogger, who's a Christian, who's a Catholic - that'll work I reckon. On doing "ministry" in the Church: This one has got me stimied. I'm so stimied, uhh, I'm not even sure what to say. Only scattered phrases come to mind... Too much. Closed. Who has time for that? I have bills to pay. Why? Why not? Too long, too hard. I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. To a degree, I know my giftings and my potential. I know what I have done and, again - to a degree, what I can do (by His Grace in and through me). Don't get me wrong, being a Lector, a Cantor, or even a Eucharistic Minister is great. I've done all these things in the past and will probably end up doing one or more of them in the future - but this is not quite what I'm talking about. It'll be an interesting road. I know where part of it will lead already. That hasn't changed. That call, for me, is undeniable - a rural monastic community which acts as a place of contemplative formation, learning, and refreshing retreat - a different sort of monastery - I look forward to that. I guess that's it tonight. My life is weird right now. It feels very weird. I don't even know why or what that means altogether. I'm trying to move along with it, trying to cope, hopefully more than cope. Labels: blogging, catholic, personal :::

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." "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." "...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."
