Today















Rest in Peace, Mr. Dean.

When you look at

a mirror, what colors do you
see?

How is it that we can distin-
quish between the accurate
colors & its silveriness, both
at the same time?

Surprise email!

Received a very surprise
(& most welcome!)
email from Dale Ahlquist,
president of the
American Chesterton Society
and host of GK Chesterton:
The Apostle of Common Sense
that airs on EWTN Sunday nights.

Sent an email to the editor of
Gilbert Magazine, Sean Dailey,
and got two replies in return...

neat!!!

Got my Gilbert

Got the latest issue of
Gilbert Magazine this
past week. A subscription
is included with a one-year
membership to the
American Chesterton Society.

This blog's favorite blogger,
Nancy Brown, will be a contri-
buting columnist in future
issues.

I've said it before, & I'll say
it again...


CAN'T WAIT, MRS. BROWN-
BUT I WILL!

LOL!!!

[crickets]!
My blog has lapsed into
Spanish!
Everything switched to
Spanish, and I don't know
how. And I don't know
Spanish, either. I can
only guess at what the
instructions are behind
the scenes...
I have to go to work.
This is too funny.

Anyone know how to
reset the language?

Am not sure the spelling
is right, but
gracias!

(6x4) 4 Chesterton's friends

Eric from Chesterton and Friends
has a link to 24 on-line books
by GKC that can be downloaded
for free, including Orthodoxy, by
way of The Inn at the End of the
World...

See you there...

Thanks [crickets]!

My counter is over
500 hits!
Thank you to my very
dear regulars, & hi/bye
to those who have happened
by over the past couple of
months.

God bless you all, [crickets]!

Who's who?

Growing up, our dad told
us this riddle, which I didn't
understand even after he
gave us the answer.

A man sits in a jail cell.
He is visited by another man.
After the visitor leaves, the
guard asks him who his visitor
was.
The prisoner answers:
"Brothers and sisters
I have none.
But that man's father
Is my father's son."
Who was the visitor?

Ok, I understand the answer
now...

But back then, I just didn't get it.

Happy 10,000+

Nancy Brown is celebrating
10,000 plus hits to her blog
Flying Stars.
If I were on a deserted island,
& could pick only one blog to
link to, it would be her's.
Wife, mom, homeschooler,
scientist, journalist, author,
& Chestertonian to boot- she
is all of these, as well as being
a happy, faithful Catholic!!!

Yeah, she'd get me off of
that stinkin' island!

God bless you & all
that you do, Mrs. Brown!

% of 180's

Have you ever had a
conversation with someone
who you knew did not
believe in God? And as
they speak you start to
tremble with the realization
that their soul is in jeopardy?
What do you say?
Do you tell them you'll pray
for them?
Do you suggest that they go
to church to pray themselves?
Do you ever ask them, should
the subject of God come up,
how their lives are better
without Him?
Have you had success
conveying the message
that He grieves for every
potentially lost soul, which
may spend its immortal life
elsewhere from Him?
Separated forever from Him
Who crafted us each uniquely
and specifically to love & be loved
by Him?!!!

He Who eventually
WANTS US BACK?!!!

Have you managed to
help alleviate His pain
by gently encouraging a
lost soul to return to Him?

I don't know if I have,
[crickets], but I do keep
trying...

Found it!

See, this is why I'm
not a detective.

I just found it!!!
Okay, next I add sound!
*chirp!!!
:)!!!

Site of sadness

Nancy Brown from
Flying Stars posted an
article about an
existing memorial to
9/11...

Read: What kind of country
do we live in?

circa 1977

The Acknowledgment

In a time of great trial,
I reached through the air,
'Where are You? I know that
You are everywhere!'

Stillness answered the cry;
Then- Your Presence was heeded!
As You quickened my soul
With the calmness it needed...

Like Your care for the sparrows,
And hairs on a head-
Was the acknowledgment that
You had heard what I said.

Fitting tribute

Nightfly has posted a
not-so-glowing review
of the proposed memorials
for Flight 93...

Read: It's never time to go
all wobbly

Mr. Bingley & some of his
commenters had a few words
to say, too.

Pick a number...

...any number.
Double it.
Add ten.
Divide by two.
Subtract the number
that you started with.

Is the answer five?

Any brilliant math-
maticians that can
explain why this
always works?
Mrs. Brown?
Dr. T?
Dad?
?
