A Temple of the Holy Spirit

Daniel & Catherine ready for Confirmation I had the privilege of witnessing my son and daughter receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this past Tuesday at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Lancaster, OH. It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord.

Video of our Hike

Posted by on



The boys and I took a little hike up on the hill to look for wind damage after remnants of hurricane Ike came roaring through on Sunday. The wind storm, with 78 mph sustained winds, knocked out power to much of central Ohio on Sunday, over two million folks affected, and much of it has not been restored. We were very lucky not to have lost power even though much of our county did. I have been off work all this week so far and it could go on for a few more days (hopefully ;-)).


Anyway this is a 360 degree video starting with a look at our house from the top of the hill and circling all the way around back to the house.

The Hobbits are heading back to the Shire.
