Invasion Of The Catholic Bloggers!

Over yonder at Ignatius Insight they’re running a series of pieces on Catholic bloggers, and yours truly is one of many excellent bloggers being featured.

In this installment, they ask us "Why do you blog?"

My answer:

I was put under a Gypsy curse when I was seven years old.

Seriously: I blog because it’s fun. In enjoy interacting with people, writing up kooky or informative pieces, throwing them out on the ‘Net, and then seeing what the reaction is.

Despite the obvious problems with our world today (I’m still waiting for the upgrade), I find the world we live in a terribly interesting place, and my blog is a way that I can share with others my own experience of exploring the world.

I enjoy answering folks’ questions, as well as typing up things that I find interesting for amusing, and I enjoy seeing folks get into the spirit of it. On my blog we have a number of running jokes, and folks send in links of things they’ve found that they think other blog readers might want to know about. The more, the merrier!

GET THE STORY.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth.
