After Mass, Lindsay and I went to the Troy Civic Center and played tennis for a little while. It was so much fun! We haven’t played in quite a while. The courts were completely empty, unlike the completely full ones at Athens we had first looked at. Good thing they were, [...]

This morning I went with Lindsay to St. A’s for the rosary and 9:30 am Mass, which was to be a healing Mass. I was looking forward to getting anointed, since I have had all these medical things going on and figured that God can heal me better than the doctors, who have yet [...]

Last night, my brother came over, which was great. I don’t get to see him all that often. He stayed until about 12:15 am, when I finally had to go to bed, so that I’d be able to get up this morning. About 3 am or so, my roommate woke up and [...]

It had only been 2 weeks or so since my last confession, but I [...]

Sorry if this post is incoherent.  Not much sleep this weekend, but it was so much fun!  :)
First, the Priests vs. Seminarians game on Friday.  I arrived early and got to tag along on a tour of the Sacred Heart by Jonathan the Seminarian. 

The game was good, and although the “official” score was 73-73,

Today, I got to attend the Women’s Conference.  There’s tons of stuff I could blog about from that conference, but for right now, I’ll just blog about the Eucharist.  :)  At the end of Mass, Kasia came up to me and asked me if I would help consume the extra hosts, so Lindsay and I [...]

I need a knight to save me from the dragon.
Wait….
Did I say that right?  No.  I meant:
I need a night to save me from the draggin’.
