This morning, I took the little ones to the Georgia Aquarium, which was under construction last time I was here,and is quite the place. (At quite the price,but that’s just the way it is. If you lived in the area, a membership would be the reasonable thing to do). I was rather impressed. The exhibits…

…to last week. Michael enjoying practice for the Pepsi 400 last Thursday night in Daytona:

In case he wasn’t aware of it (and I’m sure he is), this one is for Jeffrey Overstreet, whose first novel, Auralia’s Colors, is being published by Waterbrook this fall. The book, which, from the first chapter seems to be excellent, is getting nice exposure at the show: A shot of another part of the…

Yes, CBA has its share of celebs, some well-known only in the CBA world, others on a broader stage. Today I saw (but didn’t photograph)Jerry Jenkins (co-author of the Left Behind series.) being interviewed with his son, with whom he now writes. Saw Tim and Beverly LaHaye, not at a booth or signing, but sort…

I’ve not had the time or opportunity to really explore the reception of the Pope’s letter to Chinese Catholics, but here are a couple of comments: Jen Ambrose has several useful posts from the past week. Adam Minter does as well, including this post with links. What I’m picking up is that Cardinal Zen seems…

The parish is located on the property formerly known, back in the 80’s, as the site of the purported visions of Nancy Fowler, long since gone, I think, to Florida. (If you were Catholic in the Southeast in the 90’s you knew all…

…a quick side trip this afternoon to the Trappist Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers which we have both visited many times before. A first time for these two, though, one of whom re-named the place in his own unique way. After spending the day excited about the "alligator" at the hotel, (translation: elevator,…

There are a few Catholic exhibitors at CBA, and I’m sure more than a few Catholic attendees as well – spotted one sister in full-length habit today, drilling some purveyor of digital music something-or-other about his products. A subtle side glance at her name tag told me nothing and since stopping, putting on my reading…

Now. What could this be? Click here for a much larger version on which you can almost read the inscriptions. "Remember" it says on the top, and cascading from there are names and quotations. And below that, a shrouded body. And behind that a sales exhibit hall. (That’s only half of it. For comparison, the…
