food for a new evangelization









Our faith is challenged to discern
 how wine
     can come from water
      and how wheat
can grow
        in the midst of weeds






                                 Francis I

fat tuesday










i take it all along
take it to the counter
charge it on the card
put it in the bag

the weight of goods
at the human infraction shop
requires double bagging

can i take it all home

will 40 days suffice

there's more here than i need
what's the use?

i trudge out the door

a cross imprinted in snow

 toss the bag

and know i will retrieve it

i take it all along
i hope to take it home
i bought it with a price
i know not the worth

my piece of the better world
has not appeared

i stock my shelves
clutter the cupboard

40 days to sit
to let the world refract around me
 40 days
to barely make things right

all the more reason to be very careful











People that are really very weird
can get into sensitive positions
 and have a tremendous impact
           on history.

yet another anonymous christian















"The feminist notion that the whole of human history
has been nothing but a vast intricate conspiracy by men
to enslave their wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters
presents us with an intellectual neurosis
 for which we do not yet have a name."

qoute of the day NYT






you walk the mall
and consumers look like zombies

they're there in person
but not in spirit


it's the living horror movie

of america

zombies wandering the halls

of the shopping malls

somehow this was bound to happen
