Studying for a History of Christianity test next week.  LOTS of information, names, dates, places.  There was a lot going on in the church at this time.  We are working on baout 400 till about 1100.  Many things were going back and forth during that time.  Powere between the Pope and the emperor, the Iconoclasic controversy.  Everytime a new emperor or pope came on the scene things changed.  At one time back then the church owned abotu 1/3 of the property in western Europe.  That seems problematic in itself.  Also learning about the Monastic movement and the monasteries, especially St. Benedict and his rules. Interesting stuff.  In high school and college I never had any interest in this, now it is really interesting to me.  I guess we mature and change.

Looks like I will get to go to the Gator South Carolina game tomorrow.  That should be fun.  Go Gators!  I will let you know.  Sitting in the car dealership to get some warranty work done.  They just told me the car is ready.  Got to go.  God bless you and keep you safe.
