I’ve just come from one of the most life-changing retreats of my life… and I just thought I’d share this video first, while I spend the night recollecting my thoughts.

It’s something I feel all Catholic men (and maybe certain Christian men) should watch at some point of their lives. It’s 18 minutes long, but enjoy.

…back to the very same place where the Catholic War Machine was born as a distraughtly coloured Blogger-based weblog slightly over six years ago.

But things are different, naturally. The office has moved to another block. The computer room where I first registered http://korgath.blogspot.com is gone. Many of my former bosses have since retired, and well, just about everyone I know has moved on to different locations. There still are several familiar faces, of course… but well, it still painfully different.

I just had to cross the room to pick up a call because all the old “call transfer” skills don’t work any more, even if I remembered them. Yet another reminder of how the world has moved on while I was away.

My “new” old PC has died – again, so I suppose blogposts are going to remain rare as always. Maybe that’s just symptomatic of me, living by Newton’s law of motion – an object at rest tends to stay at rest. Having once rejected the idea of change, I now find myself abhorring it.

One thing I am glad for though – faith. It’s the knowledge that no matter how much one’s situation changes, regardless of how fast the world around you is spinning out of control, it is my faith – the faith of the Catholic Church that remains constant and unwavering. For example, no matter how much technology improves, our dignity and rights as a human being will always be upheld and defended by the Church.

And that’s definitely something to take comfort in.

I have two draft posts that are pretty outdated now lying about. Maybe one day I should just backdate them and post them. One’s about The Leap Years, which had my silver screen extra debut. The other’s about the Pope’s recent visit to the US of A.

Where has my blogging life gone? I dunno.

But maybe now that I’ve got my own PC… I can start blogging again. It’s been too long. Heh.
