Building the City of God

I have not abandoned the blogosphere, I'm simply trying to make sure that my duties to God, my wife and son, and my job are all completed first.  Remember the post below about all the exciting things going on in my life?  Well, that excitement has faded into fatigue and stress.

I seem to be getting everything completed in a timely manner.  However, completing those projects and tasks, as well as making time for prayer and my family, takes every ounce of my energy.  There is rarely anything left over to share with the cyberspace community.

Alas, I will try to find more time to write in the future (probably far into it since I'm preparing for a youth retreat and the World Youth Day celebration).  In the mean time, please keep me, my family, and my youth ministry in your prayers.

In the mean time, you might try out a few things that I've found to be enjoyable in recent days.

1. This article by Fr. Frank Pavone, which serves as a reminder of the world's inconsistent philosophy on the rights of individuals.
2. Reading classic fictional literature.  I am within twenty pages of completing The Three Musketeers, and I should like to pick up other books in the near future such as The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and others.  I'll return to history and theology after I have disembarked from the crazy train (is that ever possible?).
3. Enjoying a cold Sunset Wheat Ale by the Leinenkugel Brewery.  I tried it for the first time last night and found it to be…um…delicious!  It goes best with an orange slice.

I do hope to bring back plenty of pictures of the Land Down Under, so look for a post sometime around the end of July.

God bless!
