Thursday Night Imposing 28 2008

On my way home from the movie I decided to go by PetSmart at 1960 and 45 and get a couple of boxes of Frontline Flea treatment. I was about a car length from the car in front of me and this woman on a Harley pulled in front of me. Fine there was room. Then another woman on a Harley pulled in to the left of her and they started chatting. I just assumed they knew each other. Then the first woman with long blonde hair sticking out from her helmet, turned her head to the other and there was a very... read more

I am sure that I will be posting more articles by Fr. Tad in the near future. With the recent release of a Vatican document concerning several bioethical issues, Fr. Tad is a great resource to get the truth. I have already been hearing of the mainstream media misrepresenting, distorting, and mocking what the Catholic Church supposedly teaches in this document in particular and overall in certain bioethical issues.  So, hopefully Fr. will be posting somewhat frequently to help us sort through all...

Ah well, the first late night of the year...ain't too bad.  Considering it's past mid-month.  Went to Verbum Dei yesterday.  It helped, felt angry and cynical during the talk and reflection but the sharing did the trick...  Need to think more.  It helped open my mind at least.  It's so easy to blame and judge the Pharisees...but really, I think it would have been instinctive for me to do the same.  I know that I'm like two different people in one body...  Shy, nervous, wallflower-like...so people...

Pallas Athene, Odysseus, suitors, Telemachus, Penelope, Poseidon, Zeus, spears, swords, bows, Apollo...

It's a struggle just to keep my concentration! Paying off though. By imposing very strict rules on myself I'm getting this done... I'm half-way there so far. My self-reward will be getting my unwanted games (dropping into my aunt's place to...

            With their father at work and their mother taking Milani to a doctor’s appointment (a regular checkup), the twins were alone that Saturday afternoon. The rain outside had grown heavy against the window. Adrian was furiously jabbing away at the controls of his handheld video game. Tora sat on the couch, kitten in her lap, reading. She glanced up as her brother sat next to her without taking his eyes off the game. The kitten hopped off Tora’s lap at the disturbance.              ...

Again, I've had this in my head since yesterday. I am liking my new method of using yesterday's prompt today. It gives me time to think it over. After writing it: This took me about half an hour to write, maybe a bit more. I am in love with it. More like forty minutes, really. I just didn't want to stop until I got to the end.
