I completed 20 minutes of reading yesterday: 1: Gregor the Overlander 2: The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena St. Catherine’s work warned me against using beautiful words to get my way or using people for my gain. We love first for God’s sake & feed ourselves on right living

*The User Method by Jeff Schwarting served as the philosophical engine behind the Christian media group, Angel Studios. The thesis of the book is that if you want to create something to change the world, make sure that you are your product's user. Then use it until it's great.

Saturday Reading: The User Method Sunday Reading: The City of God (still plugging through). I’m wrestling with Augustine’s thesis or identifying his thesis. Lots of great things to think about, how does he define the separation/overlapping connectedness of church & state?

Didn’t read. Ah! This X annotated bibliography thing is convicting. Shoo! I read a lot. Yesterday I read several online articles on my phone, but for this bibliography that doesn’t count. Only 20 minutes of reading books, scholarly works, or literary journals. Slow down & read.

I did read for 20 minutes yesterday. We read Gregor the Overlander, a very moving passage on the justification for war -- akin to the Catholic Church's doctrine on Just War. I tried not to cry while reading to my kids. Is it okay to cry while reading? catholic.com/qa/what-is-a-j…

Shoo! I didn't get in my 20 minutes of reading today! I was busy! We are all busy and pulled this way and that. And I'm not talking about reading the news on our phones. I'm talking about a book or a good magazine, something you can hold. Read that for 20-50 minutes today!

Friends, as we resume Ordinary Time, it’s appropriate that we’re looking at a portrait of the Church, because we’re coming back, if you want, to the ordinary work of the Church up and down the ages to the present day. Our Gospel from the tenth chapter of Luke gives us our…

A bigger reading day. 70 minutes. Gregor the Overlander. (RAD) Blogging for Beginners (finished) The User Method (in progress) —I’m pondering how writers can best love their readers. Thoughts?
