My anniversaries are getting closer and the page for my first giveaway at the blog is live now. The hardest part was choosing what to giveaway. The next hardest part was deciding how to do it. I don’t know what I’m doing but I’ve never let that stop me before. I’ll probably make mistakes but that’s how I learn–the hard way, every time.

I still can’t believe I’ve been Catholic for twenty four years.

And a Catholic blogger for eleven! And the year of having my own domain name has flown. So many to-do lists, so little actually getting done. Oy! ;) I’m celebrating even if I am way behind in all my projects. After that awful year of 2018, I’m celebrating just being alive!

But being Catholic is important to me and a lot of people helped me when I began to learn–and that has continued, my learning and people helping me–so I want to pass it on and share some things that will help you on your own journey.

Enter the giveaway. That’s right, I’m giving away some things that will help you on the way and will help you answer your family and friends, and answer some of your own questions, too. You can look at the Giveaway page for details but I’ll go ahead and show you the prizes in my first giveaway.

First Prize: Bible and the Church Fathers DVD set from the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

Second Prize: Catechism of the Catholic Church Collection (9 vols.) for Verbum Catholic Study Software. Runs on Windows and Mac, and there are apps for iOS and Android. (See system requirements.) I’ve been using Verbum since 2014. Highly recommended! Note: The Verbum Catechism Collection is downloadable software only, the volumes shown are solely for illustration.

Third Prize: Combat Rosary™ in Gun Metal, Silver plated or Antique Bronze, your choice.

You can read the details about the prizes and also the terms and conditions on the Giveaway page. Oh, yes, there are conditions. I wish it weren’t so but laws. The main points in all the legalese are that no one under eighteen can enter, and I have to limit this giveaway to the continental US due to legal and shipping matters.

So the giveaway has begun, at least, entries have begun. Surf over to the giveaway entry page and use the form there (after you read the obligatory legalese) and enter for your chance to win. Winners to be chosen at random and announced on April 15, 2020 at 8:00pm CDT.

ENTER THE GIVEAWAY.

Thanks for reading. I hope you’re enjoying the series and your visit. Please, stay safe and well and be not afraid! Until next time, whoever and wherever you are, may the Lord bless you and keep you, and may the peace of Christ be always with you. Amen. +JMJ+
