mission and pictures

this week is our church's mission. our speaker is fr. bruce nieli (i think that's how you spell it), and he is phenomenal. he's just a wonderful speaker. i've seen several protestant ministers speak, and i've seen lots of Catholic priests. (heck, i'm a Catholic...i see them every sunday.) but fr. bruce is absolutely one of the BEST speakers i have seen. (granted, i've only been alive for seventeen years, but bear with me here.) he combined all the passion of the protestant ministers who preach hellfire and brimstone with the softness of a mother's touch; the power of a lion's roar with the gentleness of the lamb; and the vocalization of the most well-known speakers such as Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Barack Obama, with the message of the one Truth. Sum Via, et Veritas, et Vita. I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. i can't wait until tomorrow night for the next session.

ok, now for a less serious topic. when i posted about nerts, i forgot COMPLETELY about pictures! a friend of the family who's an excellent amateur photographer brought his wretched camera and was taking pictures. i managed to be ghostly quite a bit (when i noticed that he was pointing the camera at ME). i enjoy such things as public speaking in front of large crowds, but put me in front of a camera and i run in terror. i prefer to be either a) on a stage, or b) behind the camera. i'm no movie star; i like to run the show and yell at the movie stars. ;) anyway, here's the website. http://www.pbase.com/azato/nerts_oct_2008 cheers -- he's phenomenal. feel free to check out his other galleries too.
