FaSINating...

subject in this article by Carl Olson
from the blog of the Ignatius Press...


















& what I would like
to know is...

If all these 'historical
facts' are true, how
can anyone claim to
'own' them?

Does anyone 'own' the
facts of any facet of
history?

It seems a bit far-fetched
to me!


Unless, of course, you are
more concerned with the
ways of the world, than
with the Truth. Unfortun-
ately, it looks as if that's
the case in this case.


Father have mercy on the
souls of these people

Who have distorted Your
Truth,

Concerning Your Life-

For profit and celebrity.

May Your Spirit

OPEN THEIR EYES!

& touch their souls.

Thank You, Lord Jesus,

Amen.

about poetry?

A Question...

from

Carl Olson,

& an Answer...

from

Dr. Thursday.

A hat-trick...

scored by Eric Scheske-

1) The importance of (no,
not 'Brews You Can Use':)
but
Natural Grace...


&. . .


2) The meaning of
Christians' fast-before-
the-feast as Something for
a Sunday Morning...

both from
The Daily Eudemon.


+ (!!!)


3) A link to a copy of
Heretics from
Chesterton and Friends.


(Does Sam Rosen know
about this?)

A coupla good links...

Won't tell you to
where-
but will tell you from
who...

About those blog

awards...

Someone mentioned them
yesterday- and although I
won't say who- yes, sir, you
were nominated. Most of
the people that I nominated
didn't make it...

&, correct me if I'm wrong,
even though we could only
nominate one person per
category, we could vote more
than once if we wanted to?

That is how I understood it
to be, although I voted only
once per category-
& as this is my blog, for any-
one that is interested, this is
my opinion of that...

I don't like competions.
I am not a competitive person.
Most of the people that I know
do their best whenever they
attempt to do anything. The
blogs listed to the right are
all different, & all exceptional.
& you really don't need me to
tell you that. So just so you
know, you won't be getting
my 'vote of excellence' once
a year anymore...

because you've
already got it!

Be watching

for upcoming changes
to The Blog of the
American Chesterton Society...

Can't wait, Mrs. Brown!

The conclusion

Whut?!!!

This kid deserves
a medal, too.

A must-know-but-
wish-it-wasn't-so
fact...

from
The Daily Eudemon.

Took a class

for defensive driving
last week- the instructor
had us stymied with this
query:

Question: What comes
out in the spring that
causes more car accidents
than anything else?

Answer: Signs for yard sales.

I was thinking of that as I
stopped at a pre-season
yard sale to search for
hidden treasures...























This looked interesting.
Will let you know...

I admit it...

For the first time in years,
I'm looking forward to the
spring season!

Don't know if it's because
I'm sick of wearing socks,
want to go fly a kite,

or what!

So, although I can't explain
it...

I can't wait for spring!

Presidents Day

Father,

Bless all of our leaders, &
Keep them wise in
Your ways,

Thank You, Dear Lord!

Amen.

A wonderful work!

is this portrait of Lincoln,
done by the artist Ylli for
a family member who is
a great admirer of our
sixteenth president.

Geez...

Mr. Paden...

I'll remember for
next time!

:)

Neat pix posted

Chesterton and Friends,

from G. K. C's The

Coloured Lands.

& from The Dawn Patrol,

a favorable review of a flick

with the flavor of Chesterton's

The Ball and the Cross, & the

style of Citizen Kane.

Hehehe!!!!!

A giggle from

Dawn Eden:)

& a 'nice try'

from

Dr. Thursday


LOLOL!!!!!

Prayers for

our VP & his friend who
was injured in the quail
hunting accident.

Please Lord,

That the one man
recover completely,

& that both men get
themselves a safer
pastime!

Amen!

I Know My Sheep

To My Valentine

Who, completely unaware
that I 'liked him'- liked him,
turned me down when I first
asked him out, because it
was laundry day...






















& is still, after twenty-five
years, the only man who
comes to mind whenever
I see this pic...
























To quote one of my all-
time favorite characters,

"I do thank God every day,
for the miracle of me
darlin' Angel!"

(Thank you so much
for being mine,
Valentine:)

ABC: An Amazing Bridge

of Communication!

One that spans from
The Curt Jester
to

GKC's Favourites
to

Pope John Paul II!!!


Comprised not only of
our tried & true form of
communication, the ABC's,
but the recent scientific
miracle of communication...

Going to be going

back in time...

To Oct/Nov. & Dec.
2005, to be exact.

No, not via H. G. Wells
time machine-

but courtesy of those
two issues of
Gilbert Magazine,
which arrived this weekend.

From what I understand,
this magazine is always a
bit off schedule- (which
really doesn't bother me
as I usually am, too... LOL!)

So after a bit of catch-up on
my reading, it'll be back-to-
the-present and over to
The Blog of the
American Chesterton Society
to see who liked which articles.

I'm already likin' the inter-
view that *Dale Ahlquist
had with musician Larry
Norman, who was the man
that first recommended the
writings of G. K. Chesterton
to Mr. Ahlquist years ago.

*Dale Ahlquist is the
president of
The American Chesterton Society,
& host of EWTN's
G. K. Chesterton:
The Apostle of Common Sense,
which is on Sunday at
9:00pm Eastern Time, and
Saturday at 2:30pm ET...
& is where I first learned
about Mr. G.K.C:)

(Geez...

I guess that would
automatically rule
out Romeo and Juliet &
West Side Story.)

Mission

Accomplished!

























& thank you much!

to the individuals
who helped me to
obtain a back issue of
The Saint Austin Review
for a coworker, who
also thanks you...


(& promptly returned
my copy to me:)

Behold!

The Lamb of God Who takes
away the sins of the world!























Have mercy on us!

Read a couple

of interesting
articles posted by
Carl Olson over at
Insight Scoop.

1st:
One Man's Musings:
Is there any pop/rock
music worth listening
to?

(I do enjoy this kind of
music- but confess I
do not always under-
stand the lyrics!)

& on a different

...




















Another good article
about the men who each
thought that their indivi-
dual views of Christianity
& different interpretations
of the Bible were correct-

(although they didn't
agree amongst them-
selves)...

Read it here.

The Daily Eudemon's

Eric Scheske posted
an 'enlightening' article
on Mary Magdalene &
her supposed status in
Christ's life.

(& hoping your wife
gets better quick, Mr.
Scheske!)

Surprised... no

Disgusted...
definitely!!!

Due to an article
posted by THS
over @
The Coalition
of the Swilling...

on the tacky behavior
of certain politicos in
attendance at the
funeral of dear Coretta
Scott King.

From the party that
just doesn't seem to
know any better...

& is unfortunately
not getting any
wiser with age!

10,000+ blessings:)!!!

Dear Father,

Bless those who have
been here, & those to
come...

May they be touched
by Your Spirit,

Remembering to give
thanks & praise to You
& Your Son, Jesus Christ,
for all You have done.

May we all heed the
examples
Set by your angels &
saints
Who have done Your
Will.


Thank You!
Amen.

Caught them at

half-time:)

(even though I didn't
watch the game)...

Congratulations, Pittsburgh!

Fr. Leo Clifford

this morning-
(on EWTN from
7:20-7:30am &
3:20-3:30pm
Eastern time)

Saying how we
lead our busy lives,
& right up the road
in our midst is the
Blessed Sacrament-
our Lord in His Most
Humble Form.

(Kept sometimes even
under lock & key)...

Until the day He is re-
vealed in the fullness
of His Glory.

You'd think we'd be
flocking to see Him.

! ! !

Amen, Fr. Leo!

A Quote

this a.m. from
Fr. Leo Clifford,






















who I thought
had quoted
Oscar Wilde...















until I looked it up &
found out that it was
George Bernard Shaw
who said,
"There are two
tragedies in life. One
is not to get your
heart's desire. The
other is to get it."

Which led me to a
neat quotations site-

& I remember a priest
telling me, when refer-
ring to people who have
gone before us, that it
is correct to say that they
'are' rather than they
'were.'

So after reading some
of their more memor-
able quotes, it seems
accurate to say that
George Bernard Shaw
& Oscar Wilde are very
funny guys...

(weren't they?)

Many thanks

to Jodie from
1 Set of Footprints

for her invaluable
assistance in obtain-
ing a hard-to-find
book I need for a
project I'm work-
ing on.

(Jodie is my super-
visor, but this project
isn't work related)...


Thanks again, boss-

God bless you!
