All about Jesus…
A comic strip from Adam4d:
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
A comic strip from Adam4d:
A Calvinist arrives at St. Peter’s gates and sees that there are two lines. One is marked “predestined” and the other is marked “Free will”. Being a card-carrying Calvinist that he is, he strolls on over to the predestined queue.
After several minutes, an angel asks him, “Why are you in this line?” He replies, “Because I chose it”. The angel looked surprised, “Well, if you ‘chose’ it, shouldn’t you be in the ‘free will’ line?” Slightly miffed, the Calvinist obediently wanders over to the free will line.
Again, after a few minutes, another angel asks him, “Why are you in this line?”. He sullenly replied, “Someone made me come here”
The Byzantine Catholic monastery (comparatively) near my parish recently celebrated the life profession of Brother Andrew:
Continuing my Jack London quotation binge…

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
– Jack London


Your grace will never be forgot
Your mercy all my life
Will be my soul’s forever song
My story and my light
From mountaintop to valley low
Through laughter and through tears
Surely the goodness of my God
Will follow all the years
For all that You have done, for us
For every battle won
We’ll raise a song to bless Your heart
For all that You have done
In all our failures and regrets
You’ve always led us home
Redemption’s arm has raised us up
Our triumph in the storm
In unity we’ll stand as one
As family we’ll go
Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand
