Crossed The Tiber

An Evangelical Converts to Catholicism

Name:
Location: Pennsylvania, United States

I was born into the Catholic faith. At 14, I was "born again" and found Jesus personally but lost His Church. After thirty years as an evangelical protestant, I have come full circle to find that He has been there all the time, in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I wish others to find the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith as I have found.

Offer It Up

On a retreat a few weeks ago, I was praying and meditating on the Prayer of Surrender and got an idea to write a song based on this prayer. Here's the link. See what you think.

Oh, I wish I could listen! Dialup doesn't let me!

It's one of my favorite prayers, which is why I keep re=posting it on my blog. Every time I get a prayer card, I give it away. It's too good to keep!

Maybe tomorrow at work I can listen....


Sorry haven't been around much, but have been following.

Hey Adoro! How are you, I too am sorry I dont get to visit back much either these days, thanks so much for stopping by.
When the album is finished I will send you a copy, but you'll have to remind me!

Can't think of anything you write that isn't wonderful, as is this.

thanks Owen, appreciate the encouraging words. I struggle so with trying to put "on tape" what I hear in my head. As can be heard, my vocal chords remain my weakest instrument,but I'm thankful for what I have.

Hey TJ, that is a wonderful song.

My father passed away five weeks ago so it couldn't come at a better time. It's something I really need to hear right now.

And I'm so looking forward to the album.

TJ, thanks for the CD. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I will soon! :)

(Or, as the verification word below puts it: "later")

Astonishing! I clicked the link and started listening, and then I realized it was after 9 AM and "The Best of Mother Angelica Live" was on EWTN, so I decided to open up EWTN's streaming video...

... and Fr. Groeschel was there, talking about Father Walter Ciszek hearing confessions in concentration camps in Russia!

Jeff, I believe that the saints pray for us so that these "coincidences" we see are faith builders for us. Very cool!!
