All-Consuming DARWINCATHOLIC - May 14, 2013 ... awake that long. I eat these days. All I do is eat. The only time I am not queasy is when I am eating. The only time I'm not eating is when I'm sleeping. My brain capacity is so diminished that I feel the functional equivalent of a cow, either grazing or chewing her cud at all times. I don't throw up, which means that there's no relief. Either I am consuming, or I am consumed by pangs of nauseating hunger. Eating has become a chore (though fast-food chicken sandwiches make it more bearable). ...http://darwincatholic.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-consuming.html

Quick Takes: Volume 67 KAREN'S ADVENTURES IN MOMMYLAND - May 3, 2013 ~1~ A couple of days ago I went to the DMV to renew my license and was shocked at the speedy service. Of course, it became not so speedy service when I asked to have my eye color changed on the license. I'm not sure why I never noticed it, but my license said I have green eyes and not hazel. For six years I had a great driver's license photo with a funny backstory. Now I'm the owner of a shiny new license with an awful picture. I guess I can join the ...http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2013/05/quick-takes-volume-67.html

It was a demonic attack. It surprised me. I felt a dark presence. I felt terrible feelings and terrible thoughts began to crowd in my mind. I was a little scared.

"Your letter of December 8 is one of gratitude, and being thankful is a virtue that St. Ignatius wanted for his Jesuits," the future Pope told him.

I will admit it felt good to cross the line, it felt real good in fact, maybe a little too good. Sweat began to drip from my forehead rolling down my wet face into my open eyes. The stinging and burning making me feel alive. Water rolled off my tires, spraying my back with a mixture of ice cold water and grit. The cold spring air stinging my face, freezing my hand, and making me glad ...http://danielundem.com/2013/04/09/i-crossed-the-line/
