      The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth
      Author: Scott Hahn
      Rating: 3
      Review: This book is slightly better written than "Hail, Holy Queen", but still hard to read. You should also read Revolations in the Bible before reading this book, as he keys on it throughout the book. Over all, I agree with what he has to say, and have been "enlightened" by some of it. There are a couple of points I do not agree with however. I am not sure I would put this book high on your reading list, but it should probably be on the list sometime down the line of reading.

    • We Worship: A Guide To The Catholic Mass
      We Worship: A Guide To The Catholic Mass
      Author: Oscar Lukefahr
      Rating: 5
      Review: This is a well written book that I recommend for those new to the Catholic Faith AND to those that were "born" into the faith. Father Lukefahr writes in such a way that everything is clear and very understandable. He also brings a lot of history into the book, without looking like it! You can also partake in a "review" and see if your answers are right by going to http://www.amm.org/chss.htm and signing up for the class. You get the book, and workbook for free, but you really should help out the Father and Group by donating to them! Enjoy and happy learning!

      Start Late, Finish Rich: A No-Fail Plan for Achieving Financial Freedom at Any Age (Finish Rich Book Series)
      Author: David Bach
      Rating: 5
      Review: This is probably the best book of Mr. Bach's series that I have read (although I haven't read all 7 yet). I highly recommend it, even for those starting early, as it has more information and more current information in some areas. HIGHLY recommend.

Partial 2007 Goals update! April 25th, 2007

Well, four months into the year and I’m doing fairly well on my weight loss goal! I am down to 238 pounds, and I have lost about 2 inches on the waist! I have not done my body fat measurements yet, but I am betting that is down as well!! I’m feeling MUCH better physically and my “bad” knee is not complaining near as much as it use to!!

How did I do this? Not eating as much out, taking my vitamins (Watkins Superfood Multiple), and exercising once or twice most days. It’s paying off finally!

YEAH!!

Blog Explosion Rent issues April 6th, 2007

Last week I attempted to rent out that space to the left there to a blog on Blog Explosion. For some reason the site would not let me accept anyone!! And there were some good folks to choose from too! So, if you were one of the people that bid this past week, NO ONE was accepted, because the site wouldn’t accept any of you, no matter who or how I tried! I’m trying again!!

Happy Reading!

**** April 24 - An update: The BlogExplosion folks are aware of the problems and are working on them. I should have a new Renter here soon! ;)

Web Site Update. April 3rd, 2007

I am currently resolving new issues with getting my photo gallery back up and running. Once that is done, I will finish re-posting old messages. Until then you should start seeing new messages showing up as well. :)

I’m still working with Network Solutions to figure out how this happened, and why the recovery wasn’t as clean as it should have been. More to come as I move forward!! (Aside from *ME* not having a clean backup that is…)

Hacked… April 2nd, 2007

The beginning of last week I was hacked big time. Someone broke into my host servering company and wiped out all my pages, and all of my databases, blanking out http://www.tdbellenterprises.com. Being a GREAT (seriously) Secuirty guy, I am like the Kobblers Son, and did not have an overly current backup of the DBs. (The web site I did, but not the dbs that held the blogs. So, needless to say, I lost a few months of posts and comments, but will be restoring the post soon!

Please bear with me as I get things back to normal and start a more routine backup process!!

Happy Days!
