What a strange day. Greg has been fighting technical difficulties all day long, so I’ve been evacuated away from the Severe Cuss Zone to the upstairs computer. (I’m joking about the cussing. Actually, when Greg is severely taxed he makes no noise whatsoever. Kind of like the serial killers in slasher movies. I’d rather he […]

The invisible God acts upon my soul as if He were visible.
– St. John of Kronstadt

I’m unclear:

Are we supposed to be afraid that America is going to legalize polygamy?
Am I supposed to be really bent out of shape about that?

I’m late checking out this cover article from a Weekly Standard from June 6, but they seem to think the answers are: (1) yes; (2) should be.

I suppose my […]

Looks like we’re looking to downscale our troop involvement in Iraq.
Then again, maybe not. Wars and rumors of wars, right? Press coverage of the war on terrorism has rarely seemed to be on the mark to me. Reporters seem to want to blame that on bad communication. I blame it at least as much […]

These are the days of working from home that they put in the glossy brochures. Greg and I just got back from pitching some new business, so I’m still in my “go anywhere and fit in” jumper. (I need to replace it as my First Impression outfit, but I’m loathe to. It’s a wonder: whatever […]

Feel God’s love in the most pure mysteries. Feel the truth of all prayers.
– St. John of Kronstadt

Quick courtesy note to say that I won’t be posting anything new till next Wednesday at the earliest. I’m off on a trip with my mom and sister, and I won’t have any good opportunities. So ta-ta for now.
If you want something good to do till then, contemplate this 3-plus minute video from a Japanese […]

Jim N. was right. I did miss this prayer. I must not have remembered in years past that you leave “O Heavenly King” out of personal prayers and liturgical prayers until Pentecost.
So am I such a brick of holiness that I actually felt the loss of the prayer to the Holy Spirit, or did it […]

We got one of those surreal-looking combination of clouds and late afternoon light on Wednesday. Greg and I were driving home and as we drove, the perfect, roiling cumulus clouds and increasingly golden light started to pre-empt more and more of the conversation — we went from “Well, look at that” to “Wow” to “Do […]

Greg picked up this book for me called “The Complete Guide to Christian Denominations” on a whim, and I’ve been making my way through it. I must be almost as much of the church-lady/church-junkie that Greg makes me out to be, because I’ve found it hard to put down sometimes.
I think I’m a little […]
