Well, since he MIGHT be referring to me

Bear could have been tagging me with the
Five reasons meme, so here goes.

Five reasons I love Jesus?
1. Well there is the old, "know him, love him, serve him..." line.
2. As has been said before, because he first loved me some 30+ years ago. Maybe even before that.
3. Cuz his love is unconditional even though my is very flaky.
4. Cuz this meme is harder than I thought.
5. Sometimes I am inspired by the Holy Spirit

Oh and one more, because He is always there waiting for me in the Holy Eucharist. It don't get any easier than that.

I tag, St. Francis Academy, Ironic Catholic James, and the other two readers of my blog. Whomever they are.

Who?

I finally took the challenge to see which of the Church Fathers I am similar too. After seeing bloggers like the Ironic Catholic turn out to be well known fathers like Origen, I get the obscure St. Melito. It is fairly accurate though.

You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

Book tag

I guess I have been tagged by James at The Daily Brouhaha: with the Book(s) I am currently reading meme.

So, for want of something better to write about (or for want of the eloquence to write about something better), I have decided to start another blogosphere ‘tag’ and ask fellow bloggers to write about the book, or books they are currently reading.

So what am I reading right now? To be honest, not much. I finished Tolkein's "Lord of the Ring" in the last month. That kept me quite busy for the winter. After that, I finished the short book "Courtship and Marriage" by Fr. John A. O'Brien. I have to write a review on that yet.

Two books I started and haven't finished yet; "Mass Confusion" by Jimmy Akin and "Search and Rescue" by Carl Olsen (I think). So they sort of count.

But in reality, I am doing a Bible Study on podcast right now. It has me enthusiastic about reading the Bible and seeing the connections between the Old and New Testament. That coupled with being very with work and the kid's activities, I guess the Bible is really the only book I am reading. And I am not showing off either James.


I tag Shellie, Puff and Bar-i-tone, and Chris
