St. Augustine of Hippo

I suppose I should write more entries, but there's not much to talk about.

I just thought I would inform everybody that it has been made official, St. Augustine will now be my confirmation Saint, I've been thinking about choosing him for 5 years, so I guess there was no denying that I was gonna choose him. I've just a;ways admired him I guess.

His feast day is on my birthday.
[[But that's not why I chose him]]

That's a great choice for a saint! Last year I read an excellent book called "The Restless Flame." It's a historical novel about St. Augustine, but it's written like a fictional book rather than a dry biography. It's by an author named Louis de Wohl. He's a fantastic writer, and I've never read any other author who does such a good job in making the lives of the saints really interesting and very easy to imagine. If you want to get a real sense of what St. Augustine was like, definitely check out "The Restless Flame."
