Musings of a Catholic Convert

I had a great time on EWTN as a guest on The Journey Home with Marcus Grodi.  I've always enjoyed public speaking, and having the opportunity to work with Marcus was a treat for me.  Hanging out at EWTN was a lot of fun too.  This was the first time I had been able to speak with Fr. Mitch Pacwa also.  Let me tell you all something.  Mother Angelica has top notch people working with her in ministry with EWTN.  Amazing men and women all over that place.  

Thanks to everybody for the prayers and well wishes.  I think everything went well and I had the opportunity to talk with members of the studio audience after the program.  I had a lot of fun, and I'd be happy to do it again anytime. 

Today I make my appearance on The Journey Home on EWTN (8pm Eastern).  I've been looking forward to this appearance for a long time.  Let me tell you something.  When opportunities for ministry like this present themselves, SOMEBODY is not going to like it.  I've been under spiritual attack for at least two weeks now.  It's not like there wasn't already spiritual warfare going on, but it is palatable these last two weeks.  Around every turn there is an adversary for me to face or a challenge to overcome.  Needless to say I'm tired from all the struggles and I can't claim that all battles have been won.  I trust in God's grace to get me through, knowing also that this appearance must be pretty important for the Gospel or else I don't think I would be attacked this hard.  I'm anxious to see what God chooses to do tonight and I'm happy to be the weak earthen vessel for His purpose. 

I appreciate your prayers.  If you happen to be offering rosaries today, please consider adding me to your intentions.

Thanks.

I spoke with Jim Anderson at the Coming Home Network this afternoon.  We've put a new date on the Calendar.  Schedule your parties for Monday, April 14 at 8pm Eastern.  Barring anything unusual happening, I'll be back in Birmingham for another go at The Journey Home on EWTN.  

I've updated the countdown timer to the right so you won't forget.  

You should also know, should you ever venture to the Birmingham area, that Tavern on the Summit is a great place to eat.  Very friendly and attentive staff and reasonably priced entrees.  Not too hard to find either.  Just off the beltway and less than 10 minutes from Irondale and the EWTN studios.  It looks like there were some really neat stores as well, but we wanted to head home.
