Mark Shea is a evangelical turned Catholic. He has written a few other books and articles for the Christian community. He has his own blog, MarkShea.blogspot.com, and his own website, markshea.com. His personal information is obviously located in either of those places.

This is my first of many question and answer sessions to come. I am researching (reading rather) on the truth and/or falsehood of the Da Vinci Code. Recently, I purchased a book titled "The Da Vinci Deception" by Mark Shea. I am unsure at the moment of who this man is or what his doctrinal beliefs are, but I think I will give his book a looking at. As I read through the book, I plan to give some insight to the truth whatever it may be.

On another note, I will say that the reason of my researching this topic is because I want to be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks me. I want to have my beliefs set. And I want to know why I believe what I believe.

Well that being said, I think I will get to the book.

Interview with a suitcoat...

ES: So, why did you become a suitcoat?

Suitcoat: I didn't really have a choice.

ES: And, how does that make you feel?

SC: Pretty miserable.

ES: I see. Have you been out lately?

SC: No.

ES: Hmmm...but you would like to get out?

SC: That really depends on my mood.

ES: And what is your mood right now?

SC: I want to eat you.

ES: Oh I see...sorry I asked.

SC: I'm serious.

ES: Umm....

SC: You don't believe me do you?

ES: I didn't say that.

SC: How many times have you been out?

ES: I am out right now.

SC: So, you are trying to gloat my imprisonment?

ES: No.

SC: Then what are you doing?

ES: I am leaving...

SC: I'm not done yet-

ES: Bye!

SC: I will find you!!!

ES: Sure you will.

More of the Beach

I recently took a vacation to the Beach and the following are a series of visual images from such a vacation.

Probably the best reason we have the word "sky", is that the Scandinavians gave it to us. In their norse languages, the word sky means "cloud". TYOK--short for Thought You Oughta Know.

No, I do not plan on dying. I do, however, feel an urge to portray my sanity as something beyond intense. Developing into sheer rage. And now I must give a menacing laugh and inform the world that I lost the keys to the dungeon tower. Oops!

I just feel that some people do not get things done. (more about that later, I promise)

So...Any idea on why the sky is is called the "sky" ? How about I research that bit and then get back to you.
