Lunch break Activism
Today I spent my lunch break with Jews and Christians at the Stand Up for Religious Freedom rally:
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
Today I spent my lunch break with Jews and Christians at the Stand Up for Religious Freedom rally:
San Diego County Administration Building
1600 Pacific Highway San Diego
Time for a resolution update…
1. Read through the New Testament Twice
It’s been slow moving. I haven’t been doing very well… 🙁
2. More dancing
I had been holding rehearsals for the gentlemen from Daughters Of The King and I went out Ballroom Dancing on Friday. Slowly getting back…
3. Be more gentle with people
A few big failures, but some successes too.
4. No sodas/fizzy drinks
Not touched a drop
5. Get into the best shape of my life
I didn’t get to Boot Camp in the last two weeks before Daughters Of The King, but I’ll be back on Monday. Other than that, I’ve been eating pretty well and stayed active.
6. Complete reading list
I haven’t finished my book for February, but I’m going to try and finish it this week.
7. Keep proper track of finances
I caught up with a load of paperwork the other day.
8. Tick something off my TODO list everyday
This has been going well.
10. Fast on Wednesday and Friday
I forgot one Wednesday lunchtime, but other than that, good 🙂
11. Give up Facebook for 40 days
As it was Sunday I uploaded a 200 photos from Daughters Of The King, but other than that, I’m doing okay 🙂
12. Make an effort to dress well for Mass
Still going strong.
Today begins my Facebook fast for forty days…
You may have noticed that there wasn’t a post yesterday. That’s because this month has been getting insanely busy.
Between work, Daughters Of The King, Theology On Tap and life in general, I’m going to be really short on time/sleep for the next few weeks.
Instead of writing my regular posts, I’m just going to post a new quotation each day.
Normal Pilgrim activities should resume in March… 🙂
God bless,
Pilgrim
This afternoon I wanted to advertise the upcoming Be A Man! event. At the end of this month, Matt Fradd, the most recent addition to the Catholic Answers team, will be recording his latest talk before a live audience of men here in San Diego. Here’s some of the event blurb from the flier:
In the first part…[Matthew] invites the men to listen to powerful, moving, and often-times hilarious stories. Then, he poses questions to show the men, or perhaps even to convince them, that who they desire to be, and who God commands them to be, is in fact the same man.
In the second part of his talk, Matthew lays out five rules that every man must break (yes, that’s right, break) if he wants to fulfill his deepest desires and follow God’s commands.
Matt really knows what he’s talking about. He’s an Australian who married a Texan and, quite frankly, it doesn’t get much more manly that that!
I spoke to Matt on the phone a few weeks ago and we bonded over the highlights of Australian culture (Tim Tams and The Castle), as well people’s inability to identify our accents:
The most common question I get asked is “Are you Australian?” Well, my friends, you now have the opportunity to come and hear what a real Australian sounds like.
I’ve just had someone ask me about Eucharistic Adoration in San Diego. I know that some of the pilgrims who read this blog are practically professional Adorers, having visited virtually every chapel and church in the county, so…
Where and when can you go to Adoration in San Diego?
