a trash-bag of thoughts and things that swim in the mind of a wandering fool-for-Christ, a.k.a. taong-grasa-para-kay-Kristo wannabe... "If indeed aspiring to be free and happy and deliberately poor, simple, unfit for career advancement, and just a mere human being who is fully aware of his being so is really a case for the asylum, then please count me in! This is what being a fool-for-Christ truly means! I would willingly forgo a leg and an arm to even get anywhere near being one!"

In Praise of the Ordinary
Day is done but love unfailing,
Dwells ever near;
Shadows fall but hopes prevailing,
Calms every fear...
Ordinary time. Ordinary grind in a typical Sunday. Soon, silence will again descend on the erstwhile noisy choir, nave, sanctuary, hall and office, and the many other congregating spots of this lively, busy parish. Lights will be put off, doors shut and doubly-locked. And the only glimmer left is the never-extinguished flicker of the sanctuary lamp by the tabernacle - its only constant and consistent companion. Another ordinary Sunday spent in praise of the God who abides by his children in the ordinariness of everyday living.
