Can some of my Catholic friends explain something to me? Why does the Pope change his name? What is the purpose? What is the current Pope communicating by his name choice?

We are celebrating Holy Week this week. I thought I'd share these two very good descriptions of the schedule of the Holy Week. The traditional view does not seem to match Scripture. I'm including a link to a written post

How Many Days and Nights was Jesus in the Grave?

In a recent video on the April 8th eclipse, the Sign of Jonah came up.

I went to a VBS meeting after church today. We are doing a Chemistry themed Vacation Bible School. I will be doing the experiment devotions for the kids. I've already got some great ideas to improve the very good curriculum our church bought. I am so looking forward to this. Science and Bible, does it get any better than that?

Just got back from visiting my son and a short vacation in West Virginia. Had fun in and near the New River Gorge National Park. Although we did many fun things, the most memorable was walking on the 2 foot wide catwalk under the 2nd highest bridge in North America. The legs in the photo belong to my husband. It was funny. When we first started walking on the catwalk, it felt like it wasn't more than a foot wide and like we would fall off (couldn't because there was a railing and we were attached to safety lines), but by the end it felt like the cat walk was at least 3 feet wide and was like walking on a regular sidewalk except for the fact that it would vibrate and sway with the traffic overhead.
