at the plate



I'm really seeing the ball well lately. I've got my batting average up to .400 as of last night, I just wish I could hit the ball over the fence for once. I found that I need to sit back more, and keep my weight on my right foot and let my torso drive me around to go through the ball. The first try was a double over the left fielders head. Good results I'd say. I'm stealing bases like it's my job too. Wait, it is my job.

My Reformation class is kind of a beating. I'm Catholic, and I'm not going to lie it's kind of rough to hear about your church being broken apart, mocked, and changed so radically into Protestant demoninations.

But at the same time, I'm learning a new respect for some of the Protestant Churches as well as their founders. I really can't blame them for some of their reforms and beliefs, it's pretty interesting. I now have a great amount of respect for the Reformation leaders as well as the Kings/Queens/Emperors of the nations at the time for handling politics and religion the way they did. Just sometimes I think a few writers got a little too far, Zwingli for example, and began forming ministries and doctrines that even Luther believed were too radical.

What does the catholic church say about getting drunk all the time? Just curious.
