Very nice, Darren.
Can I ask you a question? I was wondering what sparked your spiritual renewal just this past year? Was a person, place, John Paul ll?
Thanks. God bless you
I don't think it was a single event or person, really. Certainly the death of John Paul II was emotional for me, but not what I would consider "life-changing".
To be honest, I think the Holy Spirit has been working on me for awhile. I have developed a friendship with my pastor, who is the same age as me, and that was something which made me realize what I really didn't know. We have a Liturgical Director in our parish who, by example and reverence has been an influence. My mom is has played a significant role.
And additionally, the blogs I have been reading (yours included) have given me the inspiration to explore this expressive avenue of blogging.
TMI?
PS:
You mention St. Frances de Sales in your sidebar as the patron saint of writers/bloggers.
I wanted to let you know that there is a saint that was just recently proposed to be the patron saint of the Internet including bloggers. That is St. Isidore of Seville.
More info. is on him here: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/sainti04.htm
i have a question (sent here via julie d. :) -- do you enjoy reading scott hahn books? i believe i have either four or five of them and cannot make it past the first few paragraphs because of his use of the pun or metaphor for every lead-in chapter.
if you did not notice it before, i am going to bet you will notice that now, huh?
