@baby4good@lovelyish - @baby4good@lovelyish -  I am not embarrassed in the slightest! However I do not believe it would do to be receiving pictures of any sort from a complete stranger, especially one that does not have anything on their Xanga site. If you are genuinely trying to get in touch to discuss something, please feel free to message me here on Xanga; while your comment certainly seems like spam (and considering you have left an identical comment on many, many other Xanga sites), I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. That and I’d hate to have to block another spammer. God bless you, spammer or no.

@uglygreensofa -  Nope! Missouri! And it was terrific; I’ll try and post about it this week sometime. I usually try not to make my post too much about “me” but hopefully it will still prove useful to others.

@squeakysoul -  I know! Much to my chagrin! But studies are very different when you are doing them because Jesus Christ asked you to, so when school gets busy I have to cut something out and often Xanga goes. However, while I’m not posting a blog as often as I once did or wish I could, I am very busy leaving comments, answering messages and planting seeds all around Xanga. Most of my Xanga presence, however, is pretty invisible, praying and praying for so many here. To tell you the truth, over the past three years especially few things have moved my heart more deeply than some of the lives and stories of people I’ve met here and been in dialogue with. When I started Xanga in 2003 I definitely didn’t expect anything remotely like that! So Xanga is easy to put aside in one sense I suppose, but it is absolutely impossible to put it aside completely. Even at Mass I am thinking about the people I have met here, some in particular, who have utterly broken my heart with their suffering. Frankly, there are people here on Xanga I downright love in either a brotherly or fatherly way, even if they have no idea, though they will find out one glorious Day. I can’t wait.
