Lewis Song - Brooke Fraser If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was not made for here If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary, then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/08/12/beautiful-song-rad-video/ Still no World Youth Day post, but I will be on TV tomorrow night talking about WYD. It's local television, since it's my bishop's show, so I'm sorry that you all in the non-San Antonio viewing area won't be able to watch. I'm pretty excited about being on this show ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/08/11/on-tv-and-another-pilgrimage/ So recently I was hit with the "sex appeal" bug, and have been really tempted to use that to appeal to my boyfriend more. Thankfully, I've gotten past the bug with a vaccination of some grace(!).  Josh has also assured me that he wants me to dress respectfully. So, with ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/08/06/pre-post-sideshow-modesty/ Too much has happened since my last post for a quick update on everything, so I'll have to put away some time later to do that. Until then, suffice to say that: I am back from World Youth Day, and finally adjusted sleep- and food-wise to Texas.

I loved hanging out with Rebecca and meeting wonderful people like Lisa, ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/07/08/leaving-for-wyd-at-6-am/ Are we comforted by Paul when he writes to the Romans: “…in all things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us,” or does the idea scares us just a little bit? Conquer overwhelmingly? All things we conquer overwhelmingly? Maybe I’m overwhelmed by the idea that ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/06/30/conquering-with-christ/ This entry is possibly rated PG-13. Remember the secular world's shock and the Catholic world's awe when supermodel Adriana Lima told a GQ interviewer that she was a strong Catholic and would remain a virgin until after marriage? So many Catholic teen and young men wished they could win a girl like ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/06/29/supermodel-your-new-hero-hold-that-thought/ I remember Joe McClane sharing with the rest of us at the Catholic New Media Conference that when you podcast, you really "put yourself out there." The bloggers' panel spoke in similar terms. The following entry will be on those terms. I hope that someone, somewhere, will gain something from ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/06/28/an-honest-look-scrupulosity/ I have two entries in the oven, but I just had to write about this new band I discovered, thanks to Catholic Rockers and the Proud 2B Catholic Festival: Pointe Blank. If you're looking for a nice Catholic alternative to some of those popular artists among the college scenesters, check ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/06/28/great-band-pointe-blank/ Congratulations to Atom Egoyan, whose film, Adoration, won the Ecumenical Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. This is the blurb given about the plot: Simon, an adolescent with a complex family history, attempts to create his identity while overcoming cultural stereotypes. His invented personal story, which he presents to his class, ... http://warriorangela.stblogs.com/2008/06/25/media-assortment/
