Red, White, and Blue in the Face!

Why would I want to spend even *more* time sitting at my computer than I already do? Well, this past week has convinced me that, despite the ill caused by these “infernal machines” (pornography is a shining example of this) they can also render services. Paramount among the services I have found keeping up with my Roman Catholic Christian Faith and keeping up with my Congress are essential. Unless you have been hiding under a rock or in a cave (and who would blame you!) the past few months have demonstrated that without the tools of the modern information age you don’t stand a snowball’s chance in staying abreast of what is happening with either of them.

In the case of my Faith I’ve found so many fellow Catholics on the internet and gobs of great information and tools for learning. Too much to mention in this post but Google Catholic sites or Catholic blogs and you’ll find a universe of the Universal Church replete with links and resources enough to make your heart sing. I’ll do my best to share some of what I’ve found and will find.

In the case of my Congress – well, let’s just say I feel a compelling need to keep an eye on what they are or are not doing. My sense is that they are not doing what they should and are doing a lot of what they should not! Whatever I discover in this respect I will also attempt to share.

So I plan to use this space to blog about my experiences keeping the vigil both for God and Country.  I simply do not believe that our great country, The United States of America, came to be without God’s providence and I sincerely believe that we *must* turn to God in every aspect of our lives in order for this country to continue and we cannot turn away from God to satisfy the lust of a few to toss God out of first the public square and then the hearth and home.

May God help us; may He grant us the grace of His continued providence and may all of us come to see that God is love and love is all we need!
