I would just like to say...  Damn I hate rejection but it seems like it can't be avoided when I'm seeking employment.  I still have a few hopefuls so I'm not despairing but man its tough.  I don't want to work in something I don't need a college education for like, say Starbucks or Target or something.  I'm looking at entry level type employment ( Read more... )

The mother of one of the Greatest known Saints!!! I think we should all look to her example in our own prayer life. Its what Christ was talking about when he told us to pray constantly. Maybe we can find the same power in prayer someday.

ST. MONICA It was in Tagaste, northern Africa, that this famous mother of St. Augustine was born in 332. She ( Read more... )

So yeah I learned of my acceptance after I sent the Vocations director this email:

Dear Father Tom,

I have prayed and thought about this a lot now after meeting with Msgr. Calahagn and I come to a realization. I may have sounded enthusiastic with him about going to seminary as I felt God calling me in this direction or something. I was unaware that ( Read more... )

It is an interesting dilemma that I am in... I contemplate my own contributions to society and I find myself in a sad state. I feel helpless in my fate as I wait for the answer from St. Paul Seminary as to whether they will put me up this semester or at all. It won't be the end of the world as I find it hard to find God's plan for my life. I ( Read more... )

Posting for the sake of posting... and because Evan was whining like the wiener he is... that was a joke. Well thinking critically here about what is to come and thinking about the amazing quote on my facebook profile. "Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled ( Read more... )

I recently picked up Maylene and the Sons of Disaster which I'm excited about as it is very good.  The He is Legend Concert was really cool not my best I'd have to say.  I think we did have some trouble with He is Legends performance though.  I wish they would turn up Schyler's (lead singer) mic and that combined with too much of the letting the ( Read more... )

I think its so strange how things are going.  I going to be looking hardcore for Jobs tomorrow... but I know its only temporary.  I feel as if things in life are being pieced together.  I have been put into position as if a chess piece as Lyden so loved to illustrate predestination.  I have confidence that I need to go on learning and seminary has ( Read more... )

Well you'd think I had grown up a bit since graduating high school but it seems I'm doomed.  I fought with my brother today... It was real...  I was sitting on the computer surfing facebook while he sat playing my X box.  I had been napping this afternoon from 1till about 3:30 so I decided to surf the web.  He was clearly playing with my sister on ( Read more... )

I´m in Spain as many of you know already and its very different as you may suspect.  People here move slow,  there is no hurrying or hustle or bustles.   The streets/sidewalks are covered in dog shit and whatever else hits the ground... which, I mean, isn´t as bad as I make it sound but seriously people don´t clean up after their animals and there ( Read more... )
