I have to admit I’m pretty tired of this whole coronavirus thing. I don’t like being told where and when I can go places, which direction to go down the aisle at the grocery store, and where I need to sit at Mass. I am so over this. His slaves said to him, ‘Do you …
Listen to the Small Voice
As if God hasn’t given us enough to deal with by letting this corona virus pandemic continue, now He has to throw in this whole racial unrest thing in the middle of it. Riots, looting, arson, attacks against police officers are becoming all to commonplace. And yes, I have to wonder if this is just …
God is in Control
So in my last post, I sort of veered off course. I was going to talk about the message from the Gospel reading for that Sunday and how it is kind of appropriate for the times we are living in, but I got sidetracked. I guess the Holy Spirit decided to take over my fingers. …
Their Eyes Were Opened
Today is the Third Sunday of Easter. We are almost into our third month of the coronavirus pandemic. we have lived through 40 days of Lent without being able to go into our churches, without being able to celebrate Mass and even more importantly, without being able to receive the Body and Blood of our …

I am very conflicted on this, conflicted about the "quarantine", God, my faith and my Church. My head says one thing, my heart another. Let …
WWJD
Remember back a few years ago (maybe more than a few) when people were asking the question: What would Jesus do? I don’t seem to hear that very much anymore. Maybe no one really cares. It’s funny I don’t seem to ask myself that question much either. But it’s not that I don’t care or …
What God Needs
I had an interesting conversation with my daughter today. Now this being the 21st century it wasn’t a face to face conversation but rather a finger to finger conversation. She and her husband have a rather big life decision to make and she asked for my advice. Without going into the details I told her …
Why Not You
Over there to the right is my other blog. You know the one that I focus on other things besides just Catholic type issues. I wrote a post earlier this week called "How about us?" where I talked about a Facebook post about the homeless problem in my town. In a nutshell, several people thought …
