We’re Guest Blogging on Dean’s World this weekend.
If you’re new to this site, that means all of my posts are done on that site until Monday morning, although since Powerblogs is on EST I sometimes resume original material on this site starting 12 pm EST Sunday night ( which is 9 pm out here in San Diego, CA).
We’re watching the drama surrounding Pope John Paul II today. TMV is Jewish but he has been greatly touched and moved by this Pope, from the first time he learned of his appointment when TMV was working as a journalist in Madrid, Spain, to watching him interact with young people (speaking in multiple languages) throughout the years. So today he does a special prayer of his own. See our post here on Dean’s World for more on this.
We’ll be keeping tabs on all news about the Pope and other issues on Dean’s World so click on the link to that site above to see more throughout the weekend.
