Sede Vacante - Long Live Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

Happy 281st Birthday to the Father of Our Country, His Excellency George Washington

This life-size statue of George Washington in the rotunda of the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia, is probably the finest and most accurate likeness of Washington ever made. It was sculpted by Jean-Antoine Houdon from measurements and life masks he took of Washington when the sculptor visited Mount Vernon.

We ALL Are in Need of God's Grace and Mercy

Don't know if anyone is still out there reading this, since I've neglected this blog for so long. And I can't promise not to further neglect it in the future (not really much into blogging these days).

But I wanted to post today just to say "Thank you" to Mark Shea (and Terry Nelson) for this post. Reminds me that I've been too harsh in my criticism of Mark for whatever disagreements (usually as to tone, not substance) that I may have with him.

Lord knows I'm in no position to condemn anyone. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
