The name "Lá Nollag Beag" is a direct translation of the word "Epiphany" according to www.englishirishdictionary.com! Of course Lá Nollag Beag is the name of the day which is the Feast of Epiphany and not a light-bulb moment but that suits me fine. This blog begins with an event on the 6th January and I feel it could become a kind of little birth of christ within myself... The blog's theme is a journey back to God.

"Lapsed Agnostic"

Started reading "Lapsed Agnostic". Read up to the end of the paragraph at the top of page 8. It was enough. It is so well written. I think the spacing of the type is tight, maybe single and so there is a lot of text on the page. [My writing about what is in the book is very much my own interpretation or how I understood the ideas as I was reading them, perhaps if I were to read them again or in a different mood I would see them differently.]
He talks about a Catholic upbringing. Discusses the idea of being inactive = being a less Good Man.
God being all-seeing and playing with us, rewarding us or punishing us more or less as he saw fit but under the pretence of us being good or not. And more, but I think I've done well for day one. I'm tired now and must make time to give thanks between switching off the computer and falling into bed.
