A couple of days ago, I received on Facebook a Getting to Know You note/quiz. This was a note sent by a friend that contained several questions and my friends answers.
The idea was that anyone tagged with this note was supposed to take the note-change the answers to your own and then tag others. Normally, I don't do those quizzes but then I thought...Why not? So I set about answering the questions and tagging people. Unfortunately, as often happens in computer land, as I was attempting to finish tagging people, somehow I connected to a new page and when trying to get back to the note, found I had lost all my answers. By this time it was 1 a.m. and I wasn't willing to do the quiz again.
However, one question was "If I could visit anywhere in the world, where would I go?"
I thought about this question for quite some time. Only one place came to my mind at that late hour. The Holy Lands. The thought of experiencing where Jesus lived and laughed and played and died, touches me spiritually. I know to visit this place could only enrich my understanding of Jesus. On earth it is the only place that holds a physical connection with God besides the physical connection of the Eucharist. For me, the Eucharist is what makes my faith real. It is a physical and real connection of hope, love and healing.
However, that is not what I wanted to talk about today. If you know me or even have just been following this blog you know or could guess that I have been trying to make changes in my life that are more in line with my beliefs and what I hope to accomplish. A strange thing happened today.
Oddly enough it has to do with a movie now being advertised named Julia and Julie, St Ignatius of Loyola (today's saint of the day), the Holy Lands, Brandon Heath song Give Me Your Eyes lyrics, Father Pat's meditation for the day,today's homeschool lesson and ad majorem Dei gloriam and a random thought that pierced my morning. This thought is a recurring thought that up til now I have effectively ignored but considered amusing and unlikely as something I would pursue.
Tomorrow I will outline what I see as the future for this blog and in some respects for me. I will try to explain the connections I mentioned above... though I know that I can not fully explain them and may not be able to share them all in an understandable way with you.
However,one thing I know I must share with you now is that this blog will be written ad majorem Dei gloriam-for the greater glory of God.
May you experience peace and love now and forever.
