A while back I wrote an essay on Vocational Awareness for high school students that Catherine Fournier graciously placed on her website Domestic Church . I hadn't thought about it in a very long time except that it was a pretty well written piece.
Last week Catherine contacted me because the Vocations Centre for the Archdiocese of Sidney Australia contacted her because they would like to include my essay in a packet of information that they will be sending out to every parish in the diocese to help all the young people in their diocese with vocational awareness and discernment.
Today I gave them permission to use my essay. The ripples from my little essay are indeed spreading out to the ends of the earth. I am so humbled that God has chosen to use my words in this way.

A Family of Writers
rather than a writer in the family.
My brother has a very well written piece on my uncle Marc Bernard, a celebrated French author. I can recommend this essay highly, especially because for a nice change my brother has refrained from the excessive use of profanity which he normally uses in his writing.
We are, in my generation of my family, a group of very skilled essayists. None yet with the acclaim that came to my uncle Marc, but we are all still young enough to achieve great things. Some of my children are going to surpass even my generation in the writing department I think when they get motivated to actually begin letting people read what they write.

In Honor of Every Bad Rendition I Have Ever Endured:
Ken Levine , Hollywood Writer of MASH and Frasier (among many other credits) fame has a great piece on his blog on how not to sing the National Anthem if you are called upon for this esteemed honor at the ballpark nearest you this summer.
The National Anthem
It is a great read. As is his blog, which is one of my favorites, that I found during the writer's strike when I was boycotting all the crud that network TV was giving us to fill hours while writers were trying to get what they deserved.
enjoy.
