New Post about Paul

I've spent the last two months reading my brothers journals, as he instructed. He would have wanted several people to be able to leave comments and so I am allowing it at their request. Paul's love for others was less well known to me than previous. He was complex but he loved the people around him and those he kept in contact with, both here and especially aborad in Romania and England.

Rest in Peace

Paul Lowry 1948-2012

Paul died last night just before 7 pm. His courage in the face of horrific pain touched everyone involved in the last few weeks.

As his younger brother I'm devastated at his loss. He was more father than brother and he was also mentor, confessor and friend.

Knowing Paul and the kindness and care he displayed every day he would be worried about all of you.

May he rest in eternal peace.

Greet me, and the sun so bright,

What will the day bring ?

The Culture of Death

We have become a culture of death. We murder unborns with impunity. We fight wars in the forlorn hope that other nations will want  to be like us. Our governmeat tries to make religions pay for abortions. We use dirty tricks and then deny that we do so.We igmore the Constitution. We devalue life. We accept nihilism and relatoveism.
