The passing of a great man...


A great believer and thinker passed away Friday. Richard John Neuhaus, a catholic priest, was the editor in chief of First Things (www.firstthings.com). I subscribe to the magazine and read their blog when I can. You should too. Fr Neuhaus' insights into current events were always timely, witty, challenging and biblical. He has written many books and essays, appeared on several TV interviews/documentaries, met with Martin Luther King Jr. and Pope John Paul II, shared his wisdom and insight with presidents, all while leading a catholic church in central New York. An amazing man, gone to be with our Lord.

Didn't know much about him, but First Things is high quality. Have it as a link on my blog as a matter of fact.

I noticed your blog is called Luke's Journey, which I kind of chuckled over because it's really short. Sheesh, it's not like you were becoming a doctor or something.

Here's a blogging hint. Only put things on that are really, really cool. (A profile on your oldest cousin for example) Good luck.
