Testing The Waters

Hmm... Been contemplating this for a while now, but it was not until recently that I decided to finally do it. So here I am. And although I have been sorta' kinda' "blogging" (here) intermittently via one of those networking vehicles for a couple of years or so, I thought I'd now venture out into BLOGGER. Hence this page. (By the way, thank you, Michelle for a lovely design!)

I thought, what better time to commence this endeavour than Advent, the start of the Liturgical Year (or whatever is left of it before THE Feastday of all feastdays), especially because this blog is more aimed at documenting our family's spiritual journey (and collateral experiences) throughout the liturgical year than anything else.

And what an inspiring time of the year! Apart from encouraging the kids to keep doing their good deeds and sacrifices to earn them pieces of straw to line Baby Jesus' manger, we are also in the middle of decluttering and doing a big clean up of the house. Hopefully we can get it spotless (or as close to it as we can) in time for Christmas!

Of course, part of our attempts to get our life in better order is not to neglect the spiritual. And although constantly struggling, we have been trying to get to daily Mass in the evenings (so we can all go as a family). And hopefully we can successfully approach the Sacrament of Penance by Thursday, to do a big "clean-up" of our souls, too!

Veni, veni Emmanuel, captivum solve Israel!
