He says that folks traveled from all over to have their picture taken in front of the town's welcome sign, which was, of course, in sight of the lake. At this time of year, Darrell, you might have to PhotoShop yourself in. A friend of mine lived near Hell, Michigan, whose lake annually froze over.

Gregory Jensen Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:09:14 +0000 http://pursiful.com/?p=666#comment-946 YES! and thank you to both you and Jim West. This has been my great struggle--I have always saw the goal of especially of the Christian life as a ascent to wholeness, to develop what Vladmir Lossky calls a catholic (+kata, +holos) personality. What else is sin but the move away from a catholic personality in the direction of a life of ever increasing separation from God, neighbor, and creation grounded in an ever more eccentric and disunited personality? I use the phrase personality since I think it highlights for me that it is precisely on a superficial level that all of this happens because it is precisely on a superficial level that because of sin I live. So again thak you for the post. I quite enjoy your blog and am looking forward to reading the post by Chris Brady. In Christ, +Fr Gregory YES! and thank you to both you and Jim West.
