He's a great apologist and catechist — he's probably right, he wouldn't be a good pastor, but (if I had to compare him to one of the first apostles) it would be St. Paul. Father Groeschel would probably be my vision of St. Peter.

Interesting! Have you ever read Taylor Caldwell's book: Great Lion of God?

Geez, I read her insatiably as a late teenager, but I don’t remember that one. I remember Costain’s “Dear and Glorious Physician”. I’m going up to the library next week and see if they have it. I might remember it if I get into it.

This weekend son graduates from college tomorrow, and I have 11 people in for breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday, plus I have two Marines’ pets I’m babysitting for the weekend. They were both called out of town — one for recruitment weekend duties and the other to meet his intended’s parents for the first time. So, how could I refuse. ;-) Son leaves for OCS at Quantico at the end of the month, so this is our last hurrah for ten weeks.

We’re bbq-ing after the ceremonies at the Muny all morning and early afternoon. It’s raining cats and dogs, thundering and lightning like crazy today. Everybody on the thread, please say a prayer for a beautiful day tomorrow or 11 people and four dogs are going to be soaking wet from sun-up to sundown. But next week, I’m available to read, heh, heh, heh.

Caldwell wrote “Dear and Glorious Physician,” I thought it was Costain. Oh, and “Captains and Kings” was the first book of hers I read. So, what did I read by Costain (he was another of my F A V O R I T E authors).

For my 17th Birthday, my mother gave me Caldwell’s “The Listener”. It’s a treasure to me because 1) it was my 17th birthday, 2) my mother’s inscription is in her very unique handwriting; and C) ;-) I loved Caldwell.
