Laetare Sunday

"Laetare, Rejoice," says the Introit. Laetare Sunday offers us a break in the midst of Lenten observance. We are soon to rise again with Jesus through confession and Easter Communion.

Random news items: yesterday there was a fierce storm that blew through; we're told it was actually dangerous in Vienna. Here it was just lots of strong wind, rain, and some hail... Both of our umbrellas are broken... Lisa and I finished reading together Anne Carroll's Christ and the Americas, a great high school level textbook on American history from an unapologetically Catholic viewpoint. Yes, that means that the author is biased, but with this difference: she has a bias in favor of objective truth and honesty. Not exactly a flaw... Maria is still very cute... Only 29 days left until Opening Day for the Tigers (who are undefeated so far in Spring Training)... Only 18 days until Will and Anna arrive here (we're all very excited!)...
