I’ve spent less time at our computer the past few weeks, and the time I have been on it, I have been using to work on completing the Tower Defense game, hence the sporadic posting.

This fall I am facilitating a men’s book study group called Men at Work at my parish, and by God’s grace, a great group of guys have joined it, so I am looking forward to that.  Also, I am going to be coaching a boy’s soccer team with my Dad starting in about two weeks, which I am looking forward to but also will consume a lot of free time.

Finally, and most important of all, we are taking the foster-adoption classes; next week we have three during the week lasting for 2 - 3 hours and then a 7 - 8 hour one on Saturday; meanwhile we are filling out the reams (literally) of paper work for the application process.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way, but we have had a full schedule–how much fuller will it be if God blesses us with a baby or two?!  :)

And a last thought: I’ve gotten a bit burned out about the presidential election–it’s something that can really bother me as a person with a melancholic temperament, so I have to step away from it for a while and leave it on the back burner.

The big news this week about John Edwards’ infidelity is sad; I feel the worst for his children who have had to see their father’s shameful behavior trumpeted on the headlines; may God bless his wife and children and lead him and the other woman to repentance, forgiveness, and deep conversion of heart.  How vital is the virtue of chastity!  And how much is every man tempted to lust and infidelity, which knows no political parties?

Oh yeah, happy memorial of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)!
