7 Quick Takes »

Wednesday

July 31, 2019 by Amy Welborn

Super busy day. Just time to digest, I think. But we’ll see. Perhaps something else will manifest itself.

amy_welbornWriting:  I was in Living Faith yesterday. I’ll be back there in a couple of weeks. 

It’s the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Loyola Press has my writing featured in a couple of places:

First, a chapter from The Words We Pray on the Suscipe Prayer. 

Then, the chapter on the saint from the Loyola Kids Book of Saints. 

Tomorrow’s St. Alphonsus Liguori – come back for lots on him!

Remember: The Absence of War is available – free – through midnight tonight. Read what I really think about things…

Reading: Unfortunately, nothing super substantial on actual pages. Just internet things. But this – from Adam DeVille – I was going to save for Friday, but it’s worth your time now – exploring how neglect and ignorance of history is a huge problem for Catholics today. 

Listening: Much keyboard. I have started a modest Instagram page centered on my youngest’s keyboard playing. Not for promotion, but for reference, really. It’s here. 

Watching: A couple of things. Sunday night, we watched Yojimbo– a Kurosawa film on which A Fistful of Dollars was based. It was entertaining, and not only because, honestly, Toshiro Mifune is one of the finest-looking film actors ever.

I think we might watch High and Low next. 

We also skipped through a rewatch of parts of Sad Hill Unearthed – inspired by my post yesterday. I realized that Son #4 hadn’t seen it. And we’d watched it before our trip – so it was fun to see images of the place before they restored it, hear tales of the filming and see it again in the near-present. (As I’ve said before – if you choose to watch it – in my opinion, it’s about twice as along as it needs to be. It’s rather repetitious. It’s all super meaningful to you…we get it…)

  • Today's the memorial of St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursulines.  Today is the feast the Conversion of Paul. Some related images from my books. The Loyola Kids Book of Bible Stories, the Loyola Kids Book of Heroes, and the Loyola Kids Book of Catholic Signs and Symbols. More:. https://amywelborn.wordpress.com/2023/01/25/the-conversion-of-saul-in-poetry/ St. Francis de Sales, whose feast is today, invites us to focus first, on the reality of the present moment. How is God calling me to love here, now? From St. Francis de Sales, whose feastday is today: It's coming! For more: Pages from an English-language, but Belgian-originating Mass book for children from the 50's.  More at All right, here's another one. I'm trying to get better and more efficient at video for this app, so I'm practicing by doing reels and such related to this year's travel. Last time - my trip to Mexico in October. This time, our trip to England and Scotland from this past June:  Oxford, York, the Hadrian's Wall area, Lindesfarne, Edinburgh and London. Phew! In late October, I spent a week in the gorgeous, wonderful city of Guanajuato, Mexico. I'm currently preparing for another trip and am working on my editing skills (hah) so I'll be more efficient. As practice, here's a short survey of that Guanajuato trip. It was great - as I hope you can tell.
