I’m running for your heart.

Abba Lot came to Abba Joseph and said: Father, according as I am able, I keep my little rule, and my little fast, my prayer, meditation and contemplative silence; and, according as I am able, I strive to cleanse my heart of thoughts: now what more should I do? The elder rose up in reply and stretched out his hands to heaven, and his fingers became like ten lamps of fire. He said: If you wish you can become wholly flame.

«The only thing secular is sin.»

Doxos is the blog of a Roman Catholic Christian working out his salvation in San Francisco, The California Republic. The first post on Doxos was made in October of 1998. The pages were manually coded. Then there was a “life subscription” to blogger before they sold it to Google. That profile still says 2001. Then there was a thing called “pmachine” and, finally, WordPress. We’re coming up to the 25 Anniversary of this Domain. That’s scary.

Your Host worships here and here. He is a life-professed Dominican Tertiary and studying to be a Roman Catholic Deacon. He also blogs really simple sentences in Hebrew here.

To read a “full profile” on of your host, mash here.

This blog contains a good number of things, sometimes religious, sometimes not. Please remember me in your prayers.

Seduxisti me Domine et seductus sum.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.
(Closing lines of the Táin Bó Cúalnge)
