My dear friends, how are you?
Peace be with you, in the holy Name of Jesus, the Christ, our Lord. Our good Shepherd.
Jesus our Lord, the Christ, Who is the true Light of our world.
My brothers and sisters, first off – please allow me to tell you that I want to apologize – I’m sorry folks, I haven’t been able to post much on this space, concerning our learning journey.
Earlier, we had some localized network troubles. Thankfully, it got resolved after a number of days. Kudos to our local team of telecom service line-men and women. Those who enable and maintain these sort of connectivity and services.
We give them our thanks.
For now, my dear brothers and sisters – I feel I need to take a break from this space. Okay folks?
I’ll return after some more time.
I need to focus on reading a book (or two), on needed course-work, and one of the things I want to share with you. Is that recently, I’m being considered, thankfully, for a university scholarship (At this time, I can’t afford to put myself to any college program, or whatnot, without one). This, to earn a college degree over some time.
For me, it’s going to be slow.
Sorry folks, I haven’t got any yet. It’s also my fault why I don’t have one. Maybe I learn slowly.
Well, we have to keep trying. Yes?
And we also need to keep praying. Fervent prayers, is key.
Anyway, that’s it for now.
You won’t be hearing from me at this space until I haven’t sorted out things I need to, first.
We’re all doing our best in life. I believe. The way we know how. With what we still have, also.
Keep yourselves well over where you’re at, my dear brothers and sisters.
Thanks, and God bless you all.

Peace my friends, I’ll need to take a hiatus (one span of rest & focus) – sorry. Thanks for being around with me, folks.

Folks, sorry, let’s reflect and pray for a while – We stop & pause.
What does prayer mean to you, my friends?
Good afternoon, and greetings to one and all!
Thanks for being around, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. How are you folks doing?
Lately, I had been watching a few more video podcasts, or, I believe you can call those that way.
From Catholic priests like Bishop Robert Barron, Fr. Fiel Pareja, and Fr. Eva Chibuzo Asadu (and a few others too, whose ministry I get to listen to, online).
My friends, it is a blessing for me, also.
A profound way, while still being a practical way, to grow in our Catholic Christian faith.
Folks, listening to Catholic priests, nuns, brothers and other lay-ministers or persons like us. Has helped lead me to a deeper faith and prayer life.
Although, I hope it has also led to some behavioral changes. The things I need to change, in order for me to grow as, like you and others, to grow as a disciple of Christ Jesus, our Lord.
It is possible to grow. Even amidst our modern technology, fast and instant services, and what have you.
I think, we need faith all the more, nowadays, my friends.
It is easy for us to get lost, or, to even lose ourselves in the pursuit of so many things. We think are worth the while. Yes, my friends?
That, for one, we often forget that eternity lasts forever. And that our earthly lives might be, for all that I could imagine, a drop in the vastness of eternity.
Folks, I’m not saying don’t entertain yourselves with what we have presently. No, sorry.
In my opinion, I think we should give it some of our serious time. To fervently pray from a quiet block of our time, hopefully daily, if we can, and at times actively listen to our spiritually more mature brothers and sisters in the church.
With this, I would like to invite you to pray with me. Yes, let’s pray.
We must get ourselves grounded first.
We lift up and learn to surrender ourselves to God. And ask God to take care of everything.
Peace be with you, my friends.
And thanks for being around here, at this time. God bless.
