Sorry!

An excellent article

on the history of Christ's
universal Church-

from a blog newly linked
on the right...

A Penitent Blogger.

Found thanks to the
National Catholic Register,
which is also linked on the

Amen.

A general question...

Have heard & found the
music known as Taize-
(written in Taize?) to be
incredibly beautiful...

Without having to contin-

ually bug the guys over at
Christus Vincit, does anyone
know if this exquisite music
will still be acceptable during
the Mass?

(Please don't make me look
this up myself)...

Thanks:)



Is there a need

to create myths based on
the reality of the Divine?
Specifically, the prophecies
fulfilled (& to be fulfilled,)
by Christ?

From men such as C.S. Lewis,
and the creators of Super-
man?

An article at Spirit Daily,
& the team from Chesterton
and Friends, (both linked
on the right)- discuss this
very interesting subject.

With the 'Books' button
below linked to an excellent
bio by Joseph Pearce, on
C.S. Lewis.

Great stuff!

from Thomas,
Your Ever Well-Wisher...

Including:

A beautiful site-

The Hunger Site Store
where purchases help to
feed the hungry, God bless
them! and it's getting
linked on the right...
(Check out that gorgeous
wrap- I'd have to get a
whole new wardrobe just
to go with it- oh well, I'm
sure it will match some-
thing:)

Plus, he's got many other
interesting items posted,
but...

(Don't tell him I said this-
skip the bug site- pretty
colors, yes... bugs, of course,
being further proof that God
is a male, obviously with a
grand sense of humor- & no
offense intended, to Him or
to Thomas, but...
Ewwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!) :p

Remember, you didn't hear
it from me!

Some very interesting comments

below, on the Sherlock
Holmes post...


from
Nick & the Nightfly.

A word of warning!
If you check out Nick's site,
don't be drinking anything-

Unless, of course, your screen
needs a good cleaning...



Ooooo...

Mrs. Brown is advertising
that the CDs are available
from the Chesterton
conference- separately or
in a set...
& also posted some nice
pics from that weekend.

Also, she coincidentally
poses an opinion of her
own on matters of a

Sherlock-ian nature...



Saturday, June 24, 2006

Oh brother!

Well, I caved:p

I extended my
Amazon order to
August *sigh

Maybe I can borrow
it from the library-

or try Barnes and
Noble instead...

?



Anybody know?

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Read a bio quite a while
ago, that stated that Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle was
also a doctor, an oculist-
(eye doctor) I believe it
was, although quite an
unsuccessful one. He
preferred the title "Dr."
to "Sir," but as a result of
his lack of patients, he re-
luctantly continued writing
his incredibly popular
stories about Sherlock
Holmes.

I have a lousy memory,
so as I said, please correct
me if I mis-state a fact...

Sherlock Holmes was based
on a real man that Conan-
Doyle had worked for. He
was a very successful doctor,
and his astuteness at diag-
nosing a patient astounded
Doyle.

Doyle's position was as an
assistant. He would inter-
view each patient in the
waiting room, carefully
writing down all their
symptoms before they
saw the doctor- described
by Doyle as being a thin,
hawkish looking man...

When the patient would
enter the doctor's office,
Doyle would marvel at
the doctor, who could
"deduce" their symptoms
just by looking at them-
repeating them exactly as
Doyle had written them
down, without having
seen the list...

Do you see what I see?

Thank you!

to Joe of

for encouraging me to
get in touch with Dale
Ahlquist, President of the
American Chesterton Society,

EWTN's wonderful
series:
GK Chesterton: The Apostle of
Common Sense...

It worked out:)!!!



Amazing grace...

Hmmm, just a thought...

Perhaps, for next year,
Dawn Eden should be
invited to speak at the
Conference of the ACS...

?



Gone

Fishing!

If you like the music of

Christus Vincit,
follow their link
to
Podcast Alley and
give them a "yea"
vote for the month
of June...

(& somebody remind
me to vote again in

July, as it's a once-a-
month tally)...



An excellent article

from Rome-ing Catholics
is featured at the
National
Catholic Register.


The blog of the
Leaflet Missal Company
has changed its format a
little, but it's good to see
that they decided to stick
with it:)

I agree with

Eric Scheske to a degree...

My dear hearts took me to
see it for my b'day- after
the movie started, I settled
in for a nap, but kept one
eye open;)

I figured it would be a feel-
good-buddy-movie, and it
didn't disappoint.

I agree with Mr. Scheske,
that if you walked in after
twenty minutes, you wouldn't
have missed anything. But,
it did have some laugh-out-
loud scenes...

Not a great movie, but not
all that bad, either.

Tick, tock... tick, tock...

Am disappointed to have
found out that Amazon has
not sent out my order for
Joseph Pearce's book:
The Three Ys Men
yet,

which I was hoping to
have already-

By July 3rd, they say...

I guess I'll wait until then,
then reorder if I have to.

Wonderful pics & commentary

from Carl Olson, on
the blog of the Ignatius
Press...


&

Nancy Brown from The
Blog of the American
Chesterton Society...


on the annual Chesterton
conference, which concludes
tonite.

Many thanks for their
efforts!



CLAP if you believe in

Rome-ing Catholics!

& leave a comment there,
too!!!

The blog of the
Leaflet Missal Company
may be discontinued:(

Terry Nelson, who has
maintained it, stated their
case. However, we can still
look forward to reading
Terry's writings on his blog,
Abbey-Roads.

So really, either way, we
don't lose:)

I can't read

I'm pretty sure the contest

so posting may be
sporatic from now

Dawn Eden's book

The Thrill of the Chaste:
Finding Fullfillment While
Keeping Your Clothes On


can be pre-ordered on
Amazon...

&, if possible, order an
extra copy for your local
library-
This book looks like a
keeper:)



Who said,

Coincidence is God's
way of remaining
anonymous...

?


Oooo...

This year's
25th Annual Chesterton
Conference

will be available on CD
rather than cassette, for
those of us who can't
make it.

Yay!

In this case, progress
is definitely a good
thing...

On Saint Edith Stein

A tribute to

Sergeant Darrell S. Cole,
USMC (1920-1945)...
from Tree Hugging Sister.

I'm posting a day late,
but reading this now is
better late than never.
And as one of my uncle's
was the only gunner on

his ship to survive a kami-
kaze attack in 1945, read-
ing this hits close to home.

a pain!

Well, I do thank you for
your time, Mr. Furor-

God bless you!

For those of us who

I've said it before-

Can't wait, Mrs. Brown!

But will:)

Where I escape to

for a moment's R & R...

To Michelle the Mermaid's
lovely blog from down

undah-

(& I certainly wouldn't
mind acquiring that o-
so-
charming accent while
I'm there:)


Hope these kitties

recover from their
afflictions...

They had a nasty
