Updates are in the making!

Well, its been two months since my last post, which was little more than the reprinting of the work of someone else! I've been very lax in the work (so to speak) I do here. I know a least a few folks are checking here regularly and I'm sorry to have had nothing for you for so long!

As you can tell, the blog has undergone a few changes. A good friend of mine is designing a group-run blog (which I'll link to as soon as I find out it has been opened!) and their example inspired me to do a bit of updating on this one.

The photo above is a picture I actually took from the steps of Saint Peter's basilica in Rome - just over a year ago (sans the reflection on the bottom... which I'm unnecessarily proud of editing in!) My profile picture has also been updated, using another photo from Rome (the Piè di Marmo)! Most significantly, I've changed the blog to use up more pixels - which is to say that it has been optimized for use by monitor set at higher resolutions. If you're still using a resolution under 800x600, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. However, with the modern-day computer defaulting to at least 800x600, I'd like to start putting that previously unused space to work!

Life at the parish is going well, though quite busy. My next post (within four days - truly!) will offer some of my thoughts about internship so far. But in a word: great! Working in the parish (and not insignificantly away from the seminary!) has been nothing but affirming of my desire to be a priest, and a diocesan priest at that!

Peace!
