Core Dump

I just wanted to write about one of my favorite podcasts, Catholic Underground. It's produced by four guys who, at one point or another, were in the seminary. One is a priest and another is a deacon. The other two are just as well versed in scripture and theology.

But this isn't listening to some boring talk of Catholic theology for 30 - 45 minutes. This is four guys talking about faith and technology. They talk about useful and serious things, like how having an MP3 player has improved their prayer life, or the aspects of freemasonry that aren't immediately apparent to most people (Episode 18). They're very entertaining.

Okay so I'll spill it. I'm posting also because I was mentioned due to some feedback I gave them. They made a comment about me that I'm still trying to decipher.

Core.B is faster than the Apostolic Nuncio appointing a bishop.

I finally figured out it was in reference to something they said earlier in the show regarding appointment of bishops.

Nevertheless, it's still an entertaining show.

Bob Christenson's , co-host of my favorite podcast, latest post makes the best excuse for me to resume blogging.

So, upon reflecting on this recently, I wondered to myself: *"Is blogging just as effective in your spiritual development as journaling can be?"*

The answer I can't help but come to is an emphatic YES! Recently, you all will notice that I had mostly stopped blogging. For some unexplainable reason it really seemed detestable to me...sometimes making my physically ill to think about. Weird, I know. I didn't know why I didn't want to do it, I just didn't.

Then, recently, I came to the conclusion that my spiritual development had been slowing down lately...possibly even backtracking. Then, suddenly I realized that *my spiritual development and my willingness to blog both fell off at about the same time. I was starting to see a pattern here.*

For me, not blogging hasn't caused a regression of spiritual development. But I do miss it. This post illustrated that it couldn't hurt for me to get back into it. Although I have said some not nice things that don't reflect well on me in pasts blogs, I'm older, uglier, and wiser in what I write.
