CONVERSATIONS of FAITH BLOG

   My name is Timothy Andries, most people just call me Tim.  I’m originally from Alexandria, La and lived on the north side of Lafayette since 1981. I attended Catholic school until 8^th grade and graduated from Northside High School in 1990. I married my high school sweetheart in 1992 and stated working in the offshore oil and gas industry in 1993.
  We built a home in Cecilia in 2001 and that’s been home ever since. I grew up in a typical Catholic home for the 1970’s and 80’s. The altar boy who wanted to be a priest became a lapsed Catholic until my 20’s or early 30’s. I had a re-awakening, in that I had a renewed interest to rediscover what my Catholic faith meant beyond the words and formulas.
  That reawakening grew into the desire to further understand and to be able to explain our faith to others. I was inspired by the Dominican motto, “study, meditate and share the fruit of your meditation”.  It is my hope that this blog serves that purpose.
   I enjoy reading books or articles on our Catholic faith and society, US History and apologetics. I’m just your typical prodigal child on the journey back to the Father.
God Bless.
