Truth of the Knights Templar Unveiled

Go to Zenit news from Rome Vatican Publishes Acts of 14th-Century Trials VATICAN CITY, OCT. 25, 2007 to find out more about a 400+ year condemnation being lifted...Or rather a clerical error being revealed. (Pun intended)

3 minute retreats

Greetings my fellow catechists - "echoers" of the Good News!

Go to www.FingGod.org/retreat they have short 3-minute prayer breaks you can take at your computer.

*If you enjoy the retreat and would like a new one e-mailed to you every morning, register as a member of Finding God.org by clicking on join at the top of the screen. Select the Daily 3-Minute Retreat as a free subscription service at the time of registration. Each day a link to the a new retreat will be emailed to you and each day you’ll have a chance to spend three quit, meaningful minutes in focused reflection.

I hope you find these few minutes to be meaningful and rejuvenating.

P.S. How is reading the Bible and Catechism going for you? For me it's slow. but I'm creating another blog with helps and ideas hopefully later tonight. We haven't had a forum to share or discuss and I think it's been harder at least for me, to stay on task with it.

A pirates life for me.


Did you know that Ocracoke Island was a favorite haunt of Edward Teach, the feared "Blackbeard" the Pirate?




















Not hard to see why.






Today, the beaches are protected, all National Seashore, unspoiled beauty.







The sunsets and the stars are amazing.

Course so are the marsh mosquitoes.






If you bring or rent a 4x4 you can
get to some good shelling areas.




You don't need your car to get around. It's bicycle or the old "shoe leather express".







There are shops, nough said. and there are cats, cats and more cats...







Anywhere you have to take a ferry to get to somewhere else is cool, just say'n.
