You’ve probably already figured this out

My visiting family has been keeping me away from the computer for the past few days. This is the first time in about 48 hours I’ve even turned on the machine.

That’s actually a good thing … for me, at least.

I know, you’re all desperate for the latest wisdom to drop like honey from my lips – don’t try to visualize that, okay? – but it’ll be another couple days. Today’s crazy, tomorrow I’m at work, and Tuesday my brother goes home and my dad comes home. So I’m hoping to start posting regularly again around Wednesday.

In the meantime, I hope you will find some motivation for clarity of thought in the following excellent example of virtuous discernment:

For the Latin-challenged amongst you, the chant at the beginning is: “Pie Iesu Domine, dona eis requiem” which translates to “Sweet Lord Jesus, grant them rest.” It’s a prayer for the souls in Purgatory. Just so’s you know.
