Not so much

Ok. I admit. Maybe it was such much be coming back with a vengeance. Its more like me slowly easing into it again. I've been away a while. I have to get used to it again. But I will get used to it again.

Cristiada Movie Trailer (HD)

This movie is going to be EPIC! Its a part of history we really wont hear about because We only learn American History. But in high school I took a Latin American History Class covering the Cristeros War.
I was shocked that it actually happened. But I was not shocked that the faithful Catholics would stand up for their faith.

I just read today's reading and one verse in particular stood out. It matches this film perfectly.
Psalms 3:6 "I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about."
