Sidebar notes
When you run out of things to blog about, you can always talk about your sidebar.
Actually, I just added something to the sidebar, so I thought, hey, why not explain some of the links that may be less familiar to folks.
I like Fake News more than Real News, because it is much much more accurate and much much much more fun. If you have a twisted sense of humor and can laugh at your Christian self, you really need to read The Lark every month. It's like the Onion for Christians.
I included Notre Dame in the schools because as a parent I haev high aspirations for my son, and it is, like, the Harvard of Catholic schools (ducking!). Also, it amuses me that if he were to go he would stand tall with great alumni Regis and Jerome. I mean, Regis alone is endorsement enough for me that he would belong there, but since we nicknamed Myles the Mini-Bus, it only seems fitting that when he goes to college, he follows in the Bus' footsteps. It would make for a great backstory on his Pam Oliver interview before the Rose Bowl.
As you can see, I enjoy blogs of all stripes or persuasion. They are mostly Christians, but not all. These aren't the only ones I read, but the ones I read most frequently. When those guys don't blog, I get really lonely.
The reference library is probably the most useful thing on this blog. Online conversions is fantastic--I used to use this at work all the time. Also, the Online Theology Library of Spring Hill College is fantastic. It does lean Catholic (duh), but it includes so much more from other Christian theologies and non-Christian religions as well. I can spend hours on it, just reading stuff. I sent the link to one of the theology professors at Seton Hill last year, telling her she might want to share it with her students because if they are pressed for time and hard-up for sources, there are a lot of really good online sources linked in this database. She emailed back and wished her students had that level of interest to need such a thing.
I have now added a Shameless Commerce Division, a title I shameless stole from CarTalk. If you, my friends, family, and readers, have an online store, I'd like to link to it. Natasha's Luxe is already there.
And speaking of commerce, over at Puritas Cordis, on her sidebar, she has a category just for online stores of Catholic religious orders. You can buy candy, recharged printer cartridges, greeting cards--you name it! If you are interested in supporting monestaries and religious communities supporting themselves, go take a look.
