Have an Interview, Pray for Me

My dear and faithful readers, I have a job interview.  It's part time and would be compensated by housing in return for services ( evening checking, etc at a hotel accommodation for  out of town patients for a hospital) with an opportunity to make money doing cleaning and small repairs occasionally.  It's a job I would like to do, although it has no benefits and I'm not even sure how it will affect my unemployment check.  But if I have housing/utilities and food from the food bank and at least partial unemployment every week, I can last until I get a day job with benefits.  I could take a part time day job to last until full time work opens up.

Each human being is entitled to a job provided a decent living wage and benefits compensation, and it is hoped that this job will in someway fulfill their vocation (Vocare, call) from God to go forth to mankind and do his work.  This job represents an opportunity to serve the ill while still writing in the day.  I will update you  on the interview.  God Bless and have a happy Thanksgiving

But St. Augustine, faced with a world where Christians were starting to replace pagans as political leaders and Christians we soldiers in obedience to the leaders tried to come up with criteria by which war could be measured.   Augustine knew that the Gospel question on it was complex.  One the one hand Jesus told people to turn the other  cheek and also told Peter to put away his sword and not defe...

Seeking the Romance of Life

A recent trip back to California, where I spent the middle half of my life (the part between the Seattle bookends)  and other smaller events have made me reflective of past events and places.  My brothers and I stopped in Santa Cruz, briefly, where I had lived for years, and stopped by a nightclub I had spent time in, the Catalyst, and asked the bartender the current status of local things. I found out Club Zayante in the Santa Cruz Mountain had closed.  When I got home I researched the Club, which was once of the hottest nightclubs in Central California to learn what happened.  I found out the club had closed for financial reasons then burned down. But what I learned about the owner, Tom Louagie intrigued me. He had come out from the east coast on a romantic quest, to find the Cannery Row he had read in Steinbeck. He had the idea of moving there and living a literary dream from the past.  He didn't know that that Cannery Row had died...
