Try to enter the narrow way...
Abba Matoes said that three old men went to Abba Paphnutius, who was called Cephalus, to ask a word from him. The old man said to them, 'What do you want me to say to you? A spiritual word, or a bodily word?' They said, 'A spiritual word.' The old man said to them, 'Go, and choose trials rather than stillness, shame rather than glory, and to give rather than to receive.' - Abba Matoes

You bad boy.
What? I love Catherine Tate no matter how she acts.
How very dare of you!
I like her too - I never heard of her until a few years ago when she starred in the series "Dr Who".
Catherine Tate is one of our finest. She was awesome in Dr Who.
Jesus must be so very proud of you Terry...what a lovely blog you have here. Tell me, how does this not break every tenet of your 'commentor's statement? The last few days have reminded me of why I deleted you from my 'favorites' bar some time back. What a pleasant group of self-satisfied, attention-seeking, arrested developmenters you have surrounding you. This has truly become a wicked place...now, have at it and rip my hide to shreds; I won't be back to see it.

Yes, we're all sinners. We know.
Sorry this if way off the topic, but i remember recently there was a blog entry and many comments on Fr Mychael Judge and thought some might be interested in hearing this short reflection on him that played on NPR the other day?
