Musings of a Catholic Convert

I was thinking about the number of Catholic convert websites I've seen over the past 10 years.  Most Catholic convert sites have come and gone, leaving the roaming web visitor with a dead site that hasn't been updated in years.  Or worse, instead of a Catholic convert story, they find a 404 error page.  

Even my original blog space is no longer updated.  I migrated Musings of a Catholic Convert as soon as this Catholic Social Network went live.  I wanted to be one of the first.  I was the 3rd Catholic blog to be added (after the Admin/HomePage and our King of Catholic Media).  Now I have to hope that my readers from "the old days" of Musings of a Catholic Convert will venture over via the links I left to my new Musings of a Catholic Convert blog here at CatholicDestination.com.  

I'm looking forward to seeing more Catholic converts join this community and hearing their conversion stories.  It is always so encouraging to hear, or read, in someone's own words how God brought them into the Catholic Church.  I know what it is like to be investigating the claims of the Catholic Church or to ask "How do I join the Catholic Church?" & "How does somebody become Catholic?"  Other people want to know about Catholic apologetics or how to defend the Catholic Faith.  It's good to know that the people at CatholicDestination.com are dedicated to bringing as many resources as possible under one roof so that seekers and "cradle Catholics" alike can find information and spiritual help.  

You know, while I'm thinking about it, I want to encourage other Catholic converts to consider posting their story by creating a free Catholic blog here in our Catholic social network and blog community.  Your testimony of God's work in your life WILL make a difference in someone's life.  There's no doubt about it. 

I've been on vacation all week.  Did you notice?  Did any of you bother to write me out of concern for my absence?  

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

I'm just messing with ya.  Vacation has been enjoyable.  The only downside is the long drive.  Oh, we went to San Antonio, Tejas.  Loads of things to do down there.  Maybe - if you're very good - I'll post some pictures later.

Okay, I'm going to bed.  All this driving has drained me.  I just wanted to put to rest all those horrible email forwards about my demise.

This week seems to have flown by.  I can't believe it's already Thursday. Last night was my Catholic Social Teaching class, so I guess today really is Thursday.  Tonight at RCIA we are going to have a Passover Seder meal and look at it's similarity to the Mass.  The Seder meal is so full of symbolism.  I'm looking forward to an enlightening night and some excellent fellowship.  

This weekend is going to be busy.  I think I'll turn in early tonight and get a little extra shuteye.

While I'm thinking about busy, let me tell you something I heard from the King of Catholic Media.  The KOCM says that we are getting superclose to phase two of our catholic social network.  Blogs are working good, and I guess that means you're sending him your bugs and requests.  Phase two will add new elements to enhance the community and give us more ways to reach in and reach out.  He made me promise not to spill ALL the beans, but I think I've told you enough to get you interested, right?
