My wife’s dream is to own a Catholic gift shop. The best I could do for her right now was to set up a very informal one online. After it was up I thought that I would piggyback on the site and I started this blog. Kind of like I’m hanging around in the back room while she runs the store.
Married father of 3. Former Latin-spouting altar boy. Taught by nuns and “nun” the worse for it.
I have missed Mass on a Sunday maybe 5-10 times (including illness) in my entire life. I went to Mass every Sunday because I was afraid not to. That is not the case now. I go because I truly want to. The older I get, the more I appreciate my Catholic faith. At this point I want to keep learning and applying whatever I learn.
I strongly believe that personal witness is very powerful and I hope this blog, in a small way, connects some of us “walking down the road to kingdom come.” (From an early ’70s song by a group named Lindesfarne.)
