Stick 'em Up - Day 7

We're going in to the second week of the annual Stick 'em Up Campaign. For just two weeks in November of each year I bang the drum and pass the hat for donations.



The blog takes up a good bit of my time--time which I could use for paid writing.



I don't have ads. I don't have pop ups. I don't promote my books too much. I don't ask for donations except this once a year.



Why do I keep blogging? Because people say stuff like this: "Father, thanks for your blog--it brought be back to my Catholic faith."



"Your blog is funny and clear and easy to understand. It's the only thing Catholic my kids will read."



"I'm an Anglican priest and your blog is one of the factors which helped me come home to Rome. Pray for me as I prepare to be ordained as a Catholic priest."



"Your blog cheers me up Father. I'm in an area where every Catholic parish is liberal beyond words. I get my Catholic teaching from blogs like yours and I'm encouraged that there are priests like you who are holding to the historic faith."



"Keep blogging Father! I check your blog first thing every morning to be educated, challenged, entertained and inspired."



So. Will you pitch in? I'm suggesting a donation of $25.00 per reader. That comes to less than seven cents a day over the whole year. Just hit the 'Donate' button and contribute by PayPal. If you want something for your money--go ahead and buy some books.



Many thanks!
