Focus on the Past and the Future

Most bloggers scan the web for the latest news on keywords 'church,' 'religion,' 'nun,' 'vatican,' etc. However, this blog prefers to focus on the past and the future. That's why you will read more stories about people in the past who lived for better or worse, together with their legacies. Here are some of these posts.

• The actress, Loretta Young
  
• The newspaper columnist, Ann Landers
• My Grandma
  
• My Grandma's hired man
  
• A local saintly lady
  

You'll also read about things that happened a long time ago.

• An adoption over 40 years ago
• An 'image of the future' issued in 1959
• Old stories of people who divorced
• The courtship of peasant people in another age
• The Council of Basle and its similarity with Vatican II
• Pastoral advice received over 25 years ago
• A restored Catholic comic book
  

Finally, you'll read a little bit of science-fiction that is being updated on a periodic basis. What is happening today happened because of something else that happened in the past. Your comments and constructive criticisms on these future projections will be appreciated.
