Questions for Father Shane Tharp

Father Tharp is one of the co-founders of Catholic Ragemonkey and has stopped by our little blog and asked to be interviewed. I’m actually a little nervous at the thought of interviewing a priest, so bear with me. I’ll update later with a link to his answers.

1. What is your favorite type of cheese? (this question courtesy of Matt, who likes cheese)

2. Do you remember Bean the Bunny? (because Anne Shirley didn’t)

3. In your opinion, what is the best way for new parishoners to start getting involved with their parish?

4. Korea: War or Conflict?

5. We’ve seen loads of pictures of Pope Benedict XVI with beer because he’s from Germany… what’s the Ragemonkey brew of choice?

I haven’t forgotten…

Father Tharp has asked to be interviewed. I haven’t forgotten, but I also haven’t thought of his questions yet. I promise I’ll think of them while I’m away this weekend & get them posted on Monday night!

And Now They’ll Have to Fix It.

They broke ground!

Our nice little church, the Church of the Beloved Disciple in Grove City has finally broken ground on its new church. I’m not entirely sure when they broke it, but when we drove past around 6pm, there were piles of dirt, and a construction equipment and other fun things like that. Whee!

I’m It!

I’ve been tagged by Philothea Rose

I’d like to tag the Two Sleepy Mommies, Anne Shirley and Funky Dung

Here’s the game:
List five things that people in your circle of friends or peer group are wild about, but you can’t really understand the fuss over.

1. Cell phones with cameras. Are they really that great? I can’t imagine that the picture quality is anything to write home about, so why does everyone seem to want/have one?
2. Digital cameras for still pictures. I’m a firm believer that a quality film print will run circles around digital images any day. It seems to me that I’ve seen people take more “mistake” pictures with their digital contraptions than I tend to get on a standard roll of 35mm film.
3. Body hair (esp. eyebrows) waxing. One word: OUCH!!
4. Text messages. Again with the cell phones… Why do people waste their time typing out messages on the annoyingly small keypads of their cell phones??? If you ask me, it’s easier to dial a phone number to deliver a message.
5. Pilates. That stuff is HARD!

Give Me Cleanliness or Give Me Death!

After nearly a year of marriage, we are still very messy people. In all my web-surfing adventures, I found myself at Flylady.net. The site offers a method of household cleaning and organization, with reminders that come in my email. Yep, that’s right folks, a cleaning system for the computer addicted. I’m so excited. The trick, of course, is to get started and stick with it. I’m going to try very very hard. The thing about Flylady, though, is that it looks like it would work better if I were staying home all day… so the options are that either (1)Matt needs to get a job, or (2)he needs to be the active Flylady participant. I just really don’t see option number 2 working out, so let’s double up on the “Matt Needs a Job” prayers.
