Hi, I'm
Carter Carruthers
I am just a Beloved Son of God and farm-raised South Dakotan studying theology and discerning religious life. Even though this site has my name on it I am not big for extensively writing about myself. I see this site more as a "basilica "of what God has given me and how I am responding, analogous to the Vivat Agnus Dei as a Cathedral of all aspects of the Catholic faith. There are several other uses that this site is used for just for the practicality of making things available by link. That being said, below is how I am serving God currently. I would appreciate your prayers and thank you for allowing me to witness to the love I have for Christ.
