Different Ways of Collecting

So many people, myself included, have collecting hobbies.
What one collects depends, or should depend, on his or her interests.
How one collects, of course, depends a great deal on what he or she can afford to spend.
Let's take two men who are fascinated by antique clocks. One is a multi-millionaire, the other
is just managing to make a decent living. The first man can afford to buy the actual clocks, and
a place, perhaps a whole house, in which to store his collection. The second must content himself with pictures.
As for me, I collect things on my two hobby blogs for free!

Old Newspapers

I am constantly amazed by what can be found online. Today, for example, I found an archive of old newspapers
from New York State.
I'm especially glad to have these old editions of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

An Embarrassing Case of Sacramental Mistaken Identity (From Patrick Madrid's Blog)

An Embarrassing Case of Sacramental Mistaken Identity
There are times when silence is, indeed, golden. This was one of them.

Fr. Denis Wilde, OSA, Associate Director of Priests For Life, on EWTN

Fourth Sunday in Advent.
Fr. Denis Wilde chanted (or is "intoned" a better word?) the Gospel, and judging
by the look on his face, I'd say he enjoyed doing it as much as I enjoyed listening!
Great homily, too!

TV on Sunday

Most of the tv shows I watch on Sunday are on EWTN, either
while they are being broadcast, or later, on my DVR. (I ALWAYS watch the live Mass while it is being broadcast!)
I also watch, on my DVR, one, just one, sitcom from the 1960s, and I watch it only
on Sundays. And what is that sitcom?
"The Flying Nun!"
Rather appropriate, don't you think?

Books Read in the Past Week

Books read for the first time are marked with a #

"The Twins at St Clare's"
"The O'Sullivan Twins"
"Summer Term at St Clare's"
by Enid Blyton
[children's fiction, British, school stories, series]

"Pollyanna of Magic Valley"#
by Virginia May Moffitt
[children's fiction, series]
{faithful to the original books by Eleanor H. Porter}
(Early in this book, Virginia May Moffitt writes:
"It was a simple game of just finding something to
be glad about. But sunshine is simple, too; yet
what would the world do without it?")
Exactly! And it was Pollyanna's "Glad Game" that
inspired my "Gratitude Attitude" Game!
And now, I'm actually thankful for the so-called "Pollyanna" book
that I read prior to this one, because it made me appreciate this
one all the more!

"The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Rolling"
by Neta Jackson
[Religious fiction, series, Protestant, multi-denominational and non-denominational]
