opportunity

I hope everyone’s start to 2018 is off to a good start. We have been experiencing an frigid beginning to the new year in the Midwest. Despite the frozen conditions, my hope in the Lord always melts away the rigidity of my wounded soul. I am pleased to announce that I will be featured as a columnist for Catholic Stand starting January 12th. With my commitment to writing for that site my work on this blog has taken a little bit of a backseat. I do apologize for the diminished content. Writing for multiple platforms is a new venture for me. While balancing the two will contain challenges, I will still be making regular posts on The Simple Catholic blog.

I also want to say that I appreciate all my readers commitment and support of me during this new [and still learning] phase of my writing career!

FYI: I will update this post later to include the link to Catholic Stand upon publication of my article.

Thank you for sharing!

Name Change

I recently changed the name of this blog from Prayer, Recreation, and Organization: A Simple Catholic Man’s Pursuit of a Joyous Life to The Simple Catholic: My Pilgrim Pursuit of a Joyous Life. The reason I made this change is twofold. First of all, The Simple Catholic flows easier and is less complex than my previous title. Secondly, and more importantly, I realized that the previous name limited myself to three facets of my life. The true essence of my being stems from me being an adopted son of God through my baptism. Catholicism permeates my life and I want the name of my blog to reflect this simple [yet profound!] truth.

My hopes in writing are to continue to share my humble experiences with sincerity, clarity, and courage as a follower of Jesus Christ and a member of the Catholic Church. May God bless you and the Holy Spirit inspire you to learn something new today!
