Birthday Rambling
Yup, it's my birthday. Happy birthday to me. All the great saints are
commemorated today: Gerald of Mayo, Roderic, Solomon of Spain. Giants, all of
us.
It's been a terrible birthday week. I don't know what my problem is, but I'
Tuesday
Miscellaneous Rambling
Feast Day of Gregory the Great today. I've read very little, if any, of his
works. It's definitely a lacuna in my learning. According to his Wikipedia,
pretty much everyone recognizes him as a saint: the Orthodox, Anglicans, even
some Lutherans.

Monday
Miscellaneous Rambling
Whew. Late winter blitz at the office. The phrase of the work week: catch as

Stoicism
The Stoics did not have the benefit of Christian revelation. Stoicism has been
called the “porch” of Christianity. Its resignation and detachment take a
person to the threshold of Christianity, but don't take him all the way into the
house. Although the Stoics taught belief in a
Ash Wednesday
Someone once asked a monk what they do all day in the monastery. The monk
replied, "We fall down and get up, fall down and get up."
It's an apt description of every earnest life, especially during Lent, which
might be called "the layman'
Ten Things that Struck Me About Miami
Miami is pretty wild. I was shocked by the Hispanic influence. Heck, you can't even call it "influence." The place is, culturally-speaking, a foreign country, no exaggeration. Every person in my group that I spoke with said they felt like they were in, say, Guatemala
