I have ...Thank you for your gracious comment, Anna. I have actually read some negative things about the Pope's approval of the movement, (actually it is an apostolate).I realize I have been blessed to have 1. had the "other" kind of charismatic experience, and as a Catholic, have had wonderful leadership and teaching.I would be the first one to accept that I need all the help I can get in my spiritual life, and if the Lord deigns to console me in this way, I'll take it!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-59436409651850439292014-02-03T00:24:57.452-05:002014-02-03T00:24:57.452-05:00Kelly - I am SO happy for you and the experience y...Kelly - I am SO happy for you and the experience you had at the Jesus Retreat! That's one aspect of the charismatic movement that I really appreciate - our hearts seems to open wider to Him in that environment, which enables Him to move the mountains that block His way in our souls. And you were very gracious in your description of how the charismatic movement fits in to the larger Church experience. Hey, if the Popes haven't had a problem with it (AND THEY HAVEN'T) how can the laity find it appropriate to be dismissive?BajaMannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874805186467347954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-73533056743054873482014-02-02T09:41:21.807-05:002014-02-02T09:41:21.807-05:00I know Manny, long.

Than I am in good company. :) I do have a daily email from something called Book Bub. Agreed, that there is a gem in there once in a while. I just read two books by William Landay. Great police/courtroom drama/mysteries. Very smart. Author was a lawyer. I also borrow ebooks from the Philadelphia Free Library. So I don't pay for hardly anything.<br /><br />2.TROK's newest album is called Playing with Fire, it came out in 2013. I love it. It is easy to find on Spotify, or to order from their website.<br /><br />3.Fantastic about your nephew! I will give it a listen later on today! The Philadelphia Orchestra is hosting a play-in for woodwinds. The bad thing is that it's in two weeks, and I would have to be playing my bassoon for the entire time in order to be even remotely ready. gar! I miss playing.<br /><br />4.Yes, definitely ask him if he knows Josh! He and his wife just did a recital on Saturday. I think they are fairly high profile around there. Although, sometimes piano players and wind players don't cross paths too much. Bob and I attended the same (then) tiny music school in Philly at the same time and never met up.<br /><br />I hope to get my blogging mojo back. It is a good outlet.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-39904727673344491682014-02-01T23:59:44.844-05:002014-02-01T23:59:44.844-05:00Nice to see you back Kelly. I hope things have go...Nice to see you back Kelly. I hope things have gotten better. Oh, you wrote so much a number of things came to mind.<br /><br />1. My wife is glued to her Kindle Fire as well. I also got her Kindle Fire for Christmas. She's had a regular Kindle before that for a few years, and she always liked it, but the Fire has her completely absorbed. By the way, Amazon puts out free books and deals every day. Here's their website for it and you can sign up there for free emails. Now 99% of the time there's nothing of interest but every so often I get surprised and find something. In fact there's a bio of St. Francis there tongiht that caught my eye:<br />http://kebooks.com/<br /><br />2. I had forgotten about The Reign of Kindo. I was supposed to check them out. Did they ever come out with a new album?<br /><br />3. My nephew got his PhD at Uof M in music, but in trumpet. He now teaches at U of Mississippi and plays in a symphony down there. In Mobile I think. A few months ago he put out his first record. Here it is on Amazon. He's Jason Bergman, you can sample the pieces:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Horizon-New-Music-Trumpet-Piano/dp/B00I5C2TAO/ref=sr_1_1?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&sr=1-1&keywords=Jason+Bergman<br />I think those 1 minute clips they offer shows how good he is, especially clip #5.<br /><br />4. Oh my on meeting Huntsman's daughter. Intersting. My nephew I just mentioned is also Mormon (don't ask). I wonder if he knows Josh. Mormon, Uof M, music. Too much of a coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised.<br /><br />Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.com
