Suffering With Joy

Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

June 27, 2010

Welcome to Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival hosted by RAnn over at This That and The Other Thing. We Catholic bloggers like to share our favorite posts with each other and our readers once a week, so visit RAnn and join us all.

This week I harvested our first batch of asparagus beans and mentioned a recipe I used to cook them at The Asparagus Bean Surprise II.  You gotta see the picture I took of them.  They sort of remind me of dreadlocks they are so long.  Imagine somebody walking around with asparagus beans for hair!

In Laser Technology Reveals Tomb Paintings I wrote about the great discovery of early devotion to the apostles at the catacombs dedicated to St. Thecla in Rome and how the discovery was made.

For more insight into the Pope, visit The Pope as Liturgist.

I wrote a short commentary at Praying the Psalms – Psalm 24.  It strikes me as yet another psalm glorifying Christ the King.

This week I’ve spent many hours viewing videos and working tutorials in my super-duper Corel Painter 11 program.  It’s like getting a college education in many aspects of art.  Just learning the different brushes and how they work is a big challenge.  This coming week I’ll be posting an airbrush rendition of my friend Lynn’s horse, Asti.  Some day I hope producing this digital art will get a lot easier, but learning to do something I’ve dreamed my whole life of doing – producing good art – is really joyful.
