I have not been writing on my blog.  Yesterday, I was thinking about how it has been 6 months since I arrived in Austria. Then I realized that I have really been ignoring the blog.  So, I am going to correct this most grievous error.

I have planned a couple of new series.  I hope that all of them are of interest to you all.  Here is an overview:

1. Lenten Retreat!  My present to all of you is the first book of the Imitation of Christ.  Every Wednesday and Friday, I will post a chapter from Book 1.  I hope that all of you read them.  They are short and will give you a lot to think about.  This will actually start before Lent and finish after Easter.
2. Articles about the Bible and the Catholic Church.  My most popular posts tend to be ones that deal with the Scriptures.  So, I have started writing a few articles.
3. The Baltimore Catechism.  I am thinking of posting the Baltimore Catechism.  This will be done one Lesson a week (maybe on Sundays).  This is really just to help inform you about what the Catholic Church believes.
4. Book reviews.  I am not sure about this one.  But, I might write some book reviews.  I read a lot.  So, I could always review the books I have read.  I will also do some reviews of Bibles.  That would go with #2.

In the next few days, I will post an introduction to the Imitation of Christ.  Next Wednesday, Chapter 1, Book 1 will be posted.  On Monday, you should see my first posting about the Catholic Church.  It will be addressing the question, “do Catholics read the Bible.”
