To Begin at the Beginning

Possible Themes For Posts on Eutropalia:
  1. Forgotten Virtues - Reviewing forgotten virtues and how they can apply to our lives.  
  2. Saving the Secular - Analyze secular songs, shows, and movies with a particular focus on the ways that they brush up against deeper truths.   
  3. Family and Fatherhood - Finding joy in the day to day where the mundane points to the eternal in my daily vocation.
  4. Books by my Bedside - What have I been reading and why.  
  5. Woe in the World - Documenting our culture's decline in ways. 
  6. Suffering through the Pseudo-Sacred - I want to call out the silliness of the modern church in a way that is both charitable and inspires positive changes, rather than causing deeper divisiveness.  If I can not find a way to speak out in charity than I hope to avoid this topic.  
  7. Big Ideas (Don't Get Any) - Big ideas to make the world a better place that maybe someday I will get around to acting on, but in the meantime, maybe someone else will (or should).
  8. Reclaiming the Net - Recognizing some of the great content that is available for Catholics that may not be as well known as it should be.
  9. Subtle Pleas for Hits - This is where I will bring up an interesting or controversial topic, say nothing new or particularly provocative, and watch as my hits pile up.  
  10. Philosophical Musings - Perhaps I can put my undergraduate degree to use in getting some deeper thoughts out there.  Unfortunately, my undergraduate degree is in finance, so don't get your hopes up.
  11. Guest Posts - Lots of people I know have great ideas and write very well.  Maybe, I can coerce them into contributing something.
I have some ideas behind each of these topics, and I think that if I can get the ideas onto the screen this should be a pretty interesting blog.
