Merry Christmases and New Years and Stuff...

Holing up 
for the
holidays? 

Can't say I blame you. Just way too much in states of transition right now, especially since it seems to be taking the slow walk  around the world right now. Too many people I know who spent the season alone. Several for the first time.
In their present situation, anyway

We've lost too many this year...





 I know its coming.
            I can feel it.
            Prickles on
                golden hairs
                     long lost ghosts
of my phantasmal
             fortune.  Time to
                    fortify, fluidly.

                                                                                      Nuff said. 
                                                                     To borrow
                                                                                 
     a phrase: 
                                                                          Most nuff…
                                                                                                     ...Indeed.


I know perhaps better than most it ain't fun. It's hard as hell, in fact. Those old familiar faces suddenly just not there anymore, as if something vital of ourselves broke off, sudden and unexpected.
Not merely precious, but necessary, needed, like all the air in the room. Hard to breathe in all that crushing alone. Especially at times like these. 


Just know
it will better. 
Or so they say.
Eventually.Yet never when nor how we have cometo expect. But crazy ol' world in which we live loves to surprise.
Just know that I've seen it. For when you look back to where they used to be, I saw and I understood.  Because I miss them, too.

If there's one thing the Rev. Bryan Heyer says he knows to be true, it's that members of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Shiner know a thing or two about community service. They always have, and most likely, always will. “Our church was literally built by the service of its members,” Father Bryan said. “In fact, even the building itself stands testament to that service. It’s tradition of serving that continues on strong still today.” Anyone who might question that fact only need lay eyes on their beautiful landmark red brick church building in Shiner, each stone of it built from the ground up by the hands and backs of local parishioners, who spent the better part of two entire years, from 1920-1921, making sure every element of it was simply perfect. And this coming Sunday, July 11, parishioners from all over, both past and present, will have the opportunity celebrate those many years of service, when Father Bryan and Victoria Diocese Bishop Brendon Cahill come toge
