It's important to post a reminder from time to time about the nature of this blog. There is very little here that is original. What you read about me and my family are the only things I have to contribute. Everything else is from the treasury of the Church, the wisdom of the saints. I provide glosses on these great treasures. These glosses serve to comment on and unite disparate works, but they are merely glosses--nothing new, nothing astounding, sometimes not even particularly helpful--they share one person's thoughts and experiences as commentary on the wisdom passed down to us.
I truly appreciate the gracious audience that stops by to read these reflections, but I don't want to mislead--almost everything here is the fruit of a different orchard--one that I hope to join, God willing, but one that seems a distant goal right now.
