Santificarnos and My Upcoming Lenten Silence
I was recently invited to become a member of Santificarnos, an excellent bilingual (English/Spanish) portal site dedicated to all things Catholic. I readily accepted the offer.
I'll be contributing news of Catholic interest from Asia, as I did with my first post: Unofficial Yantai Bishop Gao confirmed dead.
I'll continue to post important news stories there during the Lenten silence* (February 9th to March 27th) that I have planned for this blog. Let's face it, a lot of what I post here is about me. It is, after all, a personal blog, a digital soapbox. Lent, however, is about self-denial and reflection, things that are better done in private. Also, with my parents coming to visit and a new child on the way, I'll be pretty busy with family commitments.
Thus, the chance to blog at Santificarnos comes at an opportune time. As a part of a team, I will be able post hard news stories and offer comments only for clarification, not pontification as I do here.
* This idea, like so many other excellent ones, comes from Jeff Culbreath of El Camino Real.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
