With the great deal of time, and the abundance of material at your disposal, the idea that you haven't at least seriously opened yourself to the idea of Christ actually being the incarnation of God entering history is honestly surprising. I blame myself, I suppose, because all I ever did ...
Food kind of rules over people out here too. Usually, how much of it to eat. Some eat way to little. Some eat way too much. I can imagine the importance it takes on in prison. It is that rare thing. Something required for life itself, but which in and ...
My roots in music were three fold. The Beatles, (and I think of them as a category rather than a band), 70's progressive rock (Yes, ELP, Queen, Rush, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd), and then acoustic singer/songwriters, both piano and guitar (Janis Ian, Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, Elton John, ...
So in the end, did you keep the cable tv? ;-). You know, honestly, I'm somewhat comforted in knowing that your place ISN'T like the places we see on TV. Some of them look pretty rough. We watch a show called beyond scared straight which follows spoiled rotten punk kids ...
This will take a somewhat more reasoned and patient response than space, or time allow at the moment. I'll have to resort to pen and paper or Microsoft Word on this one. Peace to you Son. Hope all is well.
Meh! Don't apologize for a blog post. A blog is yours. To express what you feel. That's really kind of the point. As to my personal agreement or disagreement with any of the religion screed, I'll keep that off your blog, and put in a letter. But, as far as ...
Actually, Amazon says the books are delivered. Enjoy. It's all the rage right now. I may read them sometime, but I'm kind of in a non-fiction space right now. Got the Easter card, (Thank you), and the Birthday card (thanks again!). Peace
Some good stuff here. I DO like Dream Theater. I'm a big fan of a band called Porcupine Tree, that I think you'd like, (start with "In Absentia), then move forward, and THEN backward with those guys. That seems to work best. Also, an offshoot of them called "Blackfield" is ...
Feels kind of weird just writing on YOUR blog, without you being around much anymore. I hope all is well, and you're inspired to write again. I'll try to get the hang of the letter thing again. I got the new Trevor Rabin, and it is everything I hoped, and ...
By the way...I applaud your appreciation for St. Francis of Asissi. He is my patron Saint. In November of 2006 I became Steven Randolph Francis Roehr. I was exposed to him in my teens and 20's. The seeds didn't blossom into Catholicism for me until my late 40's, but good ...
Hey - Lots of turmoil on this end too. I have a couple letters to answer for you, and not sure this is the place to do it, but I'm really trying to get a little time together this week, and get something over to you. I don't know what ...
E-mail???? When??? We could really correspond regularly with E-mail. I'll pay for the emails. I'll also help with the MP3 player if you can hold on for a few weeks till we're on our feet. MP3 music isn't as high of quality imho as CD's, but it is covenient, and ...
I'm JUST starting to get into soccer (football). The only U.S. Sport I follow at all anymore is baseball. Although NFL might be interesting for me this year if the 49ers are going to be as good as everybody says. I do really miss those guys from the 80's. I'm ...
There is a small minority of Christians, (who happen to be quite loud), who don't really represent the Church or the religion begun 2000 years ago in Judea. They are the ones who are the "go-to" people for MSNBC or other bastions of leftist atheist philosophy, in order to get, ...
Hi Patrick: It is November 18, 2012. You haven't posted here since August. There is literally a letter in the mail to you right now, but what the letter fails to say is Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you have a great one. I'm not optimistic that you'll get this message, ...
Hi Patrick! Good to see you back. As for President Obummer, I'm not convinced you'd be of a same mind about him, or the system he is establishing out here, if you were on the outside. Life has become more and more difficult since 1988 to be honest. We've had ...
Good to see you writing again. Well, we like what we like. Christian love has just plain taken all the wind out of my metal sails I'm afraid. I do, however, look upon it as a valid form of art, and I don't criticize it negatively, as I feel I ...
Dear Mr. Patrick Roehr, Happy Birthday Patrick!!! How about the 2016 election? So glad that crapnado is over. Since it ended in Trump, I am only slightly more optimistic than if it had ended in Clinton. I voted for Daryl Castle myself. So, many prayers and much fasting for out ...
