In Missouri, we will be having one of the most important elections in recent years because of our vote on Amendment 2. This amendment is very dangerous, and it seems that there are many forces working to try to get the amendment passed.

Without getting into the details, I'll just say that it's a scary amendment because it not only allows 'therapeutic' cloning (it only bans 'reproductive' cloning...), but it's also bad law. For a detailed analysis of the issue, check out www.nocloning.org.

I am going to take a break from the blogging community for a small while (at least a month). Please continue to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life, and keep me and all seminarians in your prayers!

(In the meanwhile, please check out Dawn Eden's blog, The Dawn Patrol, and Jeff Miller's 'The Curt Jester' - they're two of my favorite blogs!).

The KGB Lions started the season well, with a 1-1 tie against St. Meinrad's Seminary, a 1-6 loss to a great team in our CYC league, and a recent 2-1 victory against another CYC team this past Sunday. We will be playing every Sunday from now until early December at 2:45 p.m., for anyone interested in attending a game.

In the past week, Life is a Prayer.com has been featured (or spoken of) on The Daily Breakfast pocast on SQPN.com (the episode talks about setting up a green or bluescreen, and specifically mentions this page on my Computer Support site). And today I talked to the kind hosts on the JPII Generation show on Holy Family Radio (WLCR AM 1040 in Louisville, KY) about the website.

A fellow classmate of mine has started a new blog, Sum Servus Tuus, Domine (Translation: "I am your servant, Lord."). It's still in its infancy, but I'm sure many great things will come from here. (He's been added to my Seminarian blogroll on the left).

And, lest I forget to say, he's using a Mac with iWeb, which automatically gives his blog some bonus points ;-).

It seems like network television has decided to promote its own 'secular' religion, and silence Christianity... NBC decided to air 30-minute episodes of VeggieTales (animated Children's Biblical video series), but they are cutting any references to God or religion which are specifically Christian... which is what most of the videos are about.

Does it make sense to you? Me neither.

From an article on LifeSite:

"Originally NBC demanded that the producers remove all Biblical verses from the shows. Since then, the demands have become increasingly more draconian, the cartoon’s creator Phil Vischer reported on his blog site."
