• I simply love these cards

Mixed progress

Things are slowing down here for a short while as I have some big projects going on a work. Don't go away, though, as posts will simply get a little further apart, not stop. In fact there are some coming attractions:

• I want to get back to the core purpose here, digging into how we must minister in the world we are in now, from a Catholic point of view -- one post coming up is on postmodernity and liturgy;
• More links, but perhaps not every day for the next couple of weeks;
• Format and technical revisions, cleaning up some current issues, and making this blog more print friendly;
• And I will try to keep up on scriptural reflections, even though I am late with last week's.

Stay tuned.
