Out of time, out of energy, and finally out of town, for a few days -- and then in MAJOR pain (which turns out to be as much a gift as a burden.) Life is always an adventure!

Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying the global warming.

Through the ministry of the Church and especially that of the Dominicans, and by the intercession of the Theotokos, I've had the most amazing few days. Some things aren't worth arguing about, not because they're not important, but because the Truth is not reached so much by arguing about Him as by throwing oneself on His mercy.

There is no argumentative way to justify saying what I am certain of, namely that our Lady saved my life, and no way to persuade people whose monochromatic faith has no flowers and in whose religion no birds sing that that conviction of mine strengthens rather than weakens my absolute and utter reliance on the Lord who trampled down death by His death.

But there it is. Angels sing when man doesn't, and if angels and men were ever silent the rocks would take up the song.

Bro Kolo:
This global warming's a big pain, isn't it? The good news is (well, not THE Good news ...) that I still have a very heavy cloak from my holy dude days - and I wore it to the lighting of the new fire so I didn't freeze.

Oh, and Brother Quix:

C h a r i s m a n i a c !

So there! Nyah! (But I mean that in only the most loving way ...)
