Are Catholics Wrong: Protestant Convert to Catholic Church header image 2

My Google Reader Only Had 476 New Items….

August 11th, 2008 · 3 Comments

It's good to be home. Within ten minutes of arriving home, I discovered that my husband had "recycled" a pile of magazines/catalogs/other stuff that needed to be gone through but not urgently so. In that pile of things that had gone to the paper recycling dumpster at our church was a brand new package of checks. SO….I changed clothes and we piled back into the car and went to church to do a little dumpster diving. That sound you heard yesterday afternoon was my rather abrupt return to reality. LOL I am certain that there is a desk in my office. I remember that there was one there when I left. One friend suggested that I just point a fan at the stack of papers until I find it….with friends like that…. The combined total of my various email boxes was…well a number too large to really want to know so I didn't do the math. AND there were 476 new items on my Google reader. The email boxes are under control (although not everyone has received an answer yet.) and my Google reader is happily sitting on zero. My desk is still AWOL….there's always tomorrow. I thought I would share a couple of the gems I encountered during the day's reading.

Via Opinionated Catholic

This is one of those blog entries that will….or maybe even SHOULD change your life. It is the letter of a nun who became pregant as the result of rape to her mother superior. If this nun doesn't eventually become a canonized saint, I'll be surprised. This sort of virtue isn't just heroic, it is breath-takingly so.

A Vocation in Response to Evil

The next one also comes from Opinionated Catholic, I am resolutely determined not to blog about the upcoming elections but in the course of my reading today I saw that Obama wouldn't want to see his daughters "punished" with a baby if they made a "mistake." and well….this post on First Things was simply too…irresistible.

Sin Boldly

Then there is this video clip of a snake slithering into a reporter's pants. Truly hysterical in a….Monty Python….bless me Reverend Mother for I have punned….sort of way.

Snake in the pants

And Cake Wrecks is reprising some of their worst. If you've never browsed this blog, you are truly missing out on well…..just go see.

Play it Again Wrecks

    Welcome back! And thanks for the links.
    I just got back from AZ, where I went to stay with our daughter and her family for the 3rd grandchild.
    She is a cake decorator and has recovered enough to look at Cake Wrecks without busting a staple.

    The Silence sequence was lovely- thank you.
