A little Monday inspiration…
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
“Not one hundred people in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is” – Archbishop Fulton Sheen
This morning I completed my Boot Camp Challenge. If you complete ten sessions in two weeks you get to write your name on the wall…

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make someone smile today. Bonus points if you do it by singing to them.
Time for a resolution update. Oh, things haven’t been going well…
1. Read through the New Testament Twice
Fail.
2. More dancing
Fail.
3. Be more gentle with people
Better.
4. No sodas/fizzy drinks
Still clean.
5. Get into the best shape of my life
Going very well. I’m on Day #9 of my ten day challenge at Boot Camp.
6. Complete reading list
On course. I’ve finished Brandon Vogt’s book and now starting on John Piper’s.
7. Keep proper track of finances
Fail.
8. Tick something off my TODO list
Very well. There’s lots to do for Daughters Of The King and Theology On Tap so there are always lots of things to cross off!
10. Fast on Wednesday and Friday
Going well.
11. Give up Facebook for 40 days
That’ll be happening next month…
12. Make an effort to dress well for Mass
Still going well.
