   I am glad you are not moving to the boiler room!

   Ah, just when you’d inspired me to quite too. However, in my case I am quite seriously considering it as well as deblogging my rss feed. Life is too large to live it as small as I have been. On the other hand, it is nice to know you’re here.

   Thanks Owen - I just decided I’ll keep it for now, but I won’t be a slave to it.

   “…but I won’t be a slave to it.”

   you say that now.

   Me - you may be right - I’m still online! Bye bye.

   Of course I can spell and I meant, you’d inspired me to quit not to quite too. You must have the gift of interpretation mentioned in today’s readings.

   That’s the thing - it does become enslaving. Not so much the posting, I find, but the keeping up with the blog joneses (as in plural not possessive).

   I really, really like reading your blog, Terry, and I would miss it if you stop. But you’re right to detach a bit from it all, to just enjoy it without being a slave to it. Blogging can be a burdon . . . and “noisy” for lack of a better word. When we read about your yearning for quiet, for the desert, and about your struggle to accept the graces our Lord gives you, it is an encouragement and a grace to your readers. Please don’t stress over it–we’re grateful for the insights you give us. And the world won’t shudder to a halt if your posts don’t meet the imaginary standard we seem to push on you. So relax. Just ignore us, and blog on, Terry. Or not. So long as you grow holier by it. God bless you and yours.

    Terry, I’m really glad you decided not to quit your blog. I enjoy it a lot, and always find it thought provoking and informative. But I do understand how it could be a burden at times. Ronnie is right, relax and don’t stress over it. Prayers and good wishes!

    Criminently!

    Now I’m going to have to look up your Uniform Resource Locator numbers so I can find you again.

    With all the various blogs you have and had, I cleared half a page of space on my computer screen and my computer stopped working in fits and starts and began to work again like the day it was purchased.

    Terry,
    Remember to keep an eye on your stapler.

    I am greatly relieved. But please do try to behave yourself from now on.

    Stop toying with us Mr.Terry. I have been frantically trying to copy all of the conversations that I have participated in before your blog closes down. I want my words back. I want to see what I will have to pay for. I want to keep track of my progress.I want to see how far God has brought me. “I ain’t scared of you boys anymore”, nor am I scared of saying something stupid, because you taught me that EVERYONE says stupid stuff sometimes. Though I NEVER ever want to hurt anyone.
    Some of the things that I had typed surprised me. I didn’t know I had it in me. I am trying to live for Christ ,but not in the exact same way that you are. My way isn’t better, and neither is yours ,it’s just a different way . It’s an individualized plan much like my thumb print is different than yours ,but each plan is through Jesus, for Jesus, all about Jesus, totally ,and completely.
    Ah, but we are part of the same body. Um, I’ll be the ass. I want to do more penance like you. I want to fast ,and pray more like you do. I want to love greater, and work harder learning more things about Christ, his Mother, and the church. I want to improve my relationship with Mary. I have been poisoned by the protestants.

    Half of the stuff that you write about I don’t even understand ,yet the information that I do understand is wonderful , and inspiring,and moving at times . I have learned SO very much ,that I couldn’t even begin to tell you, or express my gratitude.
    Words are a powerful thing, we’ve all grown so very fond of you. You have grown fond of your bloggers too. You say “I don’t even know you people ” yet you have basically an on line diary ,saying” here I am world” ,”what do you think?” You may not know us ,but now we know you. It may make you uncomfortable, but you have done it to yourself.

    Geese I though you were dying, no not like “We are all dying” ,but really dying.
    You tend to share your funk with us. When you are dark , we hurt , when you are funny we laugh . Words are such a powerful thing especially when the words are arranged to make a point that is enriching about God.. It’s a “high” like opening another door to God.
    Lord knows few people seem to be really trying to live their lives for Christ, maybe you could be more patient ,and understanding of the people who are trying like you are , whilst we catch up with you. One of the things that you have taught me is that there is a religious pecking order, and being a religious doesn’t mean you get a free ticket to heaven. Your feet stink too, just like mine. You are all sinners like the rest of us ,and now I can take you off of my pedestal. Fr.Frank can still keep his though. Now with the risk of being banished to the neither world of bad bloggers, you might consider sending an olive branch to Leo. You really hurt his feelings. He is in a funk now. He was a loyal ,and faithful blogger friend to you. Unless you deleted some really funky stuff from him, he seemed like a great Catholic. He really likes you. I see that you can be very explosive , and impulsive , just like me only your “male” about it. I expect to be blocked because I know how this stuff works now.

    Second only to Christ himself I dearly love all of my Catholic brothers ,and sisters ,and I made a mistake putting them on pedestals to begin with. It’s painful to watch them fall.

    Here is my photo that I sent to my daughter, I am playing with her here. I don’t know how to make it smaller, more modest. I sent it to show you who blogs back at cha’.
    God bless you, Mr.Terry.

    BTW, dont pick the photo apart , I already know my flaws.

    Ter: When you start mumbling that you are going to burn it all down then I’ll worry!

    I took your stapler. Father Richtsteig staged the diversion.
