@luinalaska I was taking a Bering Air flight out of Golovin once. Rear door on the Caravan popped open just before we got airborne. That was fun. Pilot triple checked the doors every flight thereafter.

@LaocoonofTroy Had to be tough up here back then. They’d dig tunnels beside the rivers in consistently -20F interior winters, thawing the ground with fires. The loosened earth would be piled at the surface waiting for summer to sluice.

@RachelToRome I loved that woman when I was still a Protestant.

@cancelwok3 God bless you.

[Ron @Ron61N]

@cancelwok3 Hi Nancy, we found your story while along the journey from Protestantism to the Catholic Church. What an absolute heart sing your story was to us. The healing you received from Jesus Christ was a direct contributor to us (family of 6!) joining the church this Easter vigil.

@roddreher I distinctly remember the day I saw the Orthodox pull out Chrysostum’s uncorrupted ear. I, a good Calvinist, was horrified—but inwardly drawn by something. Today, happily Catholic, I love this stuff! Glory to Jesus Christ!

@KeithNester1 I too had difficulty with Ezekiel 18:32 (among many other verses) when I was a Westminster confessionalist. Thought it was “a mystery”. Then I discovered there’s a more biblically literate way forward. The goodness and truth of the Catholic faith is beautiful!

[Ron @Ron61N]

@roddreher Was among the more important of many books which aided my journey from a lifelong Protestant into the Catholic Church.

@RealMattFradd Becoming Catholic was the last thing I wanted. I resisted, did not want it, but could not look away. Praise be to Jesus Christ who drew me to himself in spite of myself and brought me into his Church. I am so happily Catholic!

@mattswaim Oh Megadeth, where is your victory?

[Ron @Ron61N]

@luinalaska My wife grew up in Dutch Harbor in the 90s. Local police blotter reported a drunken scuffle where one inebriate threw a ripe peach at another. Town was scandalized; not because they were drunk or fighting, rather because someone would waste a ripe peach.

[Ron @Ron61N]

@RealMattFradd I’m grateful for the fullness of scripture in the Catholic faith. I was long resistant to the Marian dogmas, having been ordained in a Reformed tradition. And then the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the scriptures I had so loved. They are more beautiful now than ever!

[Ron @Ron61N]

@SteveSkojec You came on my radar via Dreher. I entered the Catholic Church this spring after a yearlong journey while in a Protestant denomination (under ordination no less). I know Faith journeys are different for every soul and we must hold these holy things gently. You are in my prayers.

[Ron @Ron61N]

@dumbwaiterwaits @riecker And here I am 3mos Catholic, grateful for the journey that humbled me before God and for Our Lady who brought me into the Church. We have that icon in our home and I’m so grateful for that woman I saw so long ago who held a mirror to my heart. I still pray for her.

[Ron @Ron61N]

@dumbwaiterwaits @riecker It was about 3 months later, deep into OCIA and about a month before Easter Vigil that I spied an icon while passing a Catholic bookstore. That face of the woman I had seen for a brief moment was Our Lady of Perpetual Help. I’m convinced the face I saw was that of Christ’s.
