Why, then, is thine apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress? I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me; I have trampled on them in my indignation and have trodden them down in my wrath; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel. For a day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come. I looked about and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and mine own arm hath saved for me, and mine indignation itself hath helped me.~ Taken from the Lesson in the Mass for Wednesday in Holy Week

"I have trodden the winepress alone..."

First Post
Hello to all of our readers who have obviously not joined because of me. :-D You probably wouldn't guess that I was the one who actually initiated the starting of this blog, but it's true (even that would have eventually happened without my help). I apologize for my lack of contribution, but I see that Madeleine has done a beautiful job without help. She has even threatened to kick me off if I didn't post something (jokingly of course). SO here I am at last. Someday I will post something hopefully more interesting to read, or if it isn't interesting maybe it will at least be amusing, if not amusing, maybe it will at least be one of those things that you're just reading because- nobody really knows why. You know those times when you're just sitting in front of the computer and you don't really have anything else you want to do, but you don't have the will to get off, so you start reading things for no reason...and the hours roll by...uh huh! that's what I'm talking about.
Anyway, so, yes, this is me. I hope to contribute more in the future and that I will not make any of you want to leave. Please forgive my 3 am post. Better late than never, right? Maybe you don't agree...
God bless you all and I hope you have a blessed and fruitful last week of Lent.

P.S. I will be changing my name in the very near future to something else.
