Art, piles of stuff and a blank canvas

I am currently working on a blog post about art and how it works, I am highlighting one of my favorite modern artists. I am fortunate enough to have met this person in real life and he has something special in his soul.

I am also in a homeschool support group that is having a t-shirt design contest, well lets say I have a design in my btain but I am having trouble getting it to come out. What I am saying is that I am someone who can appreciate art but I have trouble drawing it. I should post some of my stuff that is "decent." Of course, its really frustrating when I get an idea for a piece of art because it is hard to get it out of my head, no software can help with that, I think its related to some type of hand-eye coordination issue and having trouble making things look right in reference to each other.

Enough rambling, have some work to do, some writing to write and loving of my children that needs done. Also, if you have noticed that blogs aren't coming as quick as they once did, I am working on a rough draft of a book about fatherhood. I will publish some parts of it here but I need to get the draft done so I can start filling it out.

Why I love Jesus Meme

Well, Ye Ol' Curt Jester has tagged me for the Why I love Jesus Meme.

The Rules:
Those tagged will share 5 things they "love" about Jesus. Those tagged will tag 5 other bloggers. Those tagged will provide a link in the comments section here with their name so that others can read them.

Well, hmmmmmmm, so I am sitting here trying to pick just five things, and which five mean the most. Of course when you are speaking philosophically and talking about loving and dealing with an infinite being this could get hard and confusing. So, I am going to attempt to make a video based response.

#1 I can only Imagine, but I don't have to....




#2 Something I have always liked about my best friends is that they had awesome Mom's





#3 I spent 2 years in seminary and learned that Jesus reaches out to us in some amazing ways through others that He specificaly calls, the best of them wear black. I love home for the gifts he gives us through the priesthood.





#4 Heaven with him will be a stomping good time......





#5 Because loving Him is more than just a feeling and yes, He brought me home before I loved Him, because He first loved me.....







I imagine this will take a bit longer to get through than a regular blog post but I hope you enjoyed it. In conclusion, I love Jesus for who He is and I tag 5 of my fellow Catholic Dads:

Bruggie Tales, Real Life Rosary, Kyrie Eleison, Bettnet, and Blowing San #1

Now, this is not a suprise

CHT to Knit Together in Love.

It really comes as no suprise the Pope Benedict XVI uses the prior rite for his private masses. We used the prior rite for the baptism of our third child (in english) the meaning is very deep.

Catholic Colbert?

I know that Stephen Colbert is Catholic and he is very witty and at times I am so ecstatic about what he does and at other times I feel I am watching a train about to wreck into a minibus when I am watching him. All in all though he is on the refreshing side. Check out this new blog Catholic Colbert.
