A couple of updates not in chronological order;

The 2nd Crown Royal Quilt sold for 300 dollars 18 hours after it was posted. Awesome.

Zuzana is such a toddler now. It is awesome. Our favorite game is called "throw things up the stair well and play chicken with them as they come down until we drive Mommy up the wall."

I am so excited for Christmas. We have really been avoiding any form of media which has commercials (i.e. TV, Radio, and secular printed press) so, at least in this house hold, it is Advent again. Thank God!

More and more I less impressed with the casualness of our culture. I think this is because the demands of being a good and godly husband/father/vir require one to purge himself of all laziness and disorded desire of sleep. And I see this new virtue in me as, for sure, not my own doing but the grace of God. It is awesom

I am starting to reformulate my goals for the year. I am surprised how many of my long term goals I got accomplished this year. Writing them down really helps. It is awesome.

Lastly, I am super excited, almost unable to wait to see  this awesome movie.

Unique Beautiful Crown Royal Quilt

  • You will be bidding on an original Crown Royal Quilt.
  • Queen Sized: 76"x91"
  • Made from 95 bags which retain their unique shape on the Quilt
  • Beautiful and Soft Crushed Panne Backing (Pictured Below)
  • Gold Cords hand stitched as binding around the edges.
  • Smoke Free and Animal Free Home
  • Similar quilt sold for 300 dollars.
My wife and I are teachers. And as you can tell we are also (occasional) drinkers. Besides these things my wife is an expert quilter, whom has been honing her skills for 9 years hand quilting about 8 quilts a year! We love this quilt, but as we need Christmas money for our children to see their extended family, so we are willing to share this beautiful work of art with you! Unlike other similar quilts on Ebay, this one is both beautiful and made with Love. The bags retain their distinctive shape as quilt blocks. The Gold cord that cinches the bags around the bottles is also sewn into the quilt as a border. This quilt will make a great gift for family, friends, and other loved ones.

The Creation of Smeagol


First Katie fixed my neck after I butchered it. We took the picture so that I could see what she did. She did a good job.



However I missed a patch on top. She went to trim it after buzzing my neck..

...Here is Zuzana inspecting the damage...
 




Here is the damage. We laughed so very hard for about 5 minutes before we could take the pic.




I tried a number one to no avail.



Which caused the rise of smeagol...

I am currently reading George Weigel’s Cube and the Cathedral. There are many good nuggets among the meaty arguments concerning the current history and cultural convalescence of Europe. However, there is one that I absolutely must share with you all. It is about the Source’s of Modern Europe’s Christophobia

 

The sixth source of contemporary European Christophobia, in Joseph Weiler’s (a believing orthodox Jew) judgment, is the resentment toward the late Pope John Paul II’ evident among secularists and Catholic dissents. The late pope’s undeniable role in igniting the revolution of conscience that made possible the Revolution of 1989 in east Central Europe, his support for democracy in Latin America and East Asia, his global defense of religious freedom for all, his remarkable reconstruction of the Catholic-Jewish relations, his opposition to war and  abortion (not to mention his enormous personal authority and his popularity with young people)-all of this is very, very hard to fit into the story  line of late mofernity or post modernity  as crafted by European secularists and dissenting Catholics. They insisted that John Paul II must have been a pre-modern man, of whom nothing serious could be expected in aid of Europe’s’ democratic future. The alternative possibility- that John Paul II was a modern man with an alternative, and perhaps more penetrating, reading of modernity- simply cannot be entertained.
