The Holy Rosary

This rosary was given to me for my First Communion by my God parents. For one reason or another it serves as my longest gift still in use and travels with me everywhere I go.



HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY

+ On the cross: The Apostles' Creed.
O On the single bead: The Our Father.
o On the three beads: The Hail Mary on each one.

o On the ten beads: Hail Mary on each one
o
o
o

The Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen) is said after the last decade (mystery).

Baby

This week has been quite interesting. I am playing dad to a 13 month old named Jaun. He lived up in the mountians and was suffering from various ailments along with only weighing 11-12 pounds. It is quite a miracle that he is still alive. His health is imporving at alarming rates and the progress is fun to watch... pictures to come.

Scorch!

As I was reviewing my blog, I thought I would share with you my friends list and how I know each person. I am not sure the proper etiquette in this matter, but know that my first choice of people to talk about would be the most likely to give a proper, unbiast review of my new addition.

Fellow K-Stater, Mike, aka "Post" is shown here in the Linz half marathon (I think the Austrian culture requires each sporting event be followed by a refreshing beer) . He spent a semester in Prague with me and was a key element to my Prague Marathon finish. Though he is a fantastic marathon training partner, he does lack skills in the area of the quarters version of "boxing." One of our first moments together envolved the game which placed him MIA for the rest of the evening.

He is to be married this summer to a great woman named Grechen. Which bring me to a side topic of weddings. Two summers ago, I was helping a friend of mine load up all his wedding present. He got some good things but did he ever get a lot of useless crap too. So, I have decided that if you attend a wedding and don´t know what to get the person, and can not figure out the registry, send cash. Don´t be that guy that sends a chi-pet or something you may think is funny or unique that you will be remebered by. Just don´t even show up if your going to be that guy.

To know more about Mike postiglione, go to http://www.postiglione.blogspot.com/ or click on Post under my friends list. I give him a 4 star rating. He is a consistant blogger and the site contains intelligent humor.

I´m Back

Yes, hello fans, I am back to blogging. I do not have internet at home now, so thus all my blogging efforts will be done at the internet cafe... so my pictures will be limited. I am back in Honduras for another six months and then from there, who knows. I am kicking around the idea of playing architect and joining the "real world." In March, I will also be returning home for a scholarship interview through the Rotary Foundation. The dream would be to study in Australia for one year. Ah, that travel bug can be quite a pest.

Well friends, I am going to go slow here on getting back into the blog of things, until tommorow.
