Did you ever play the game "What's wrong with this picture?" This is a game where you look at two similar pictures and try to determine what is different in them. We can do this in real life as well. For example let's look at this recent news story: PROVO, Utah (Reuters) - A Utah …

Confession is Good for the Soul
Today we celebrate Easter, the day Jesus was raised from the dead in order to free us from our sins. We can look at this like He wiped our slates clean in order for us to start over. How many of us have kept it clean? I would imagine not too many of us. No …
It all Starts with Temptation
As we near the end of Lent I thought I would write about temptation. At the beginning of Lent we hear about how Jesus fasted in the wilderness for forty days and then was tempted by the Evil One (Matthew 4:1). And of course we all know the story of Eve and how the serpent tempted her …
You Can’t Go Wrong
I thought I would continue along the same train of thought I started a few posts ago. In the last post I talked about why you should live like Heaven and Hell really exist: Now, here is the point. Wouldn’t it be better to live a Christ-like life with the hope of getting to Heaven …
Are you Rolling the Dice
Last week I talked about the sin of sloth. I followed that up with a post about choices. What better way to follow up than to write about making the best choices. While we may or may not agree that we all have free will and are able to make our own choices, there is something we …
When I am Called to Duty God
This post will be a little different than my usual discourse. Yesterday, two Boston firefighters died in the line of duty while fighting a fire in a building on Beacon Street. The firefighters killed were identified as Lt. Edward J. Walsh, 43, of West Roxbury -- a father of three -- and Firefighter Michael R. …
It’s All About Our Choices
In my last post I talked about free will, and how God has given us free will allowing us to make our own choices, whether good or bad. He will stand by and watch what happens, leaving it up to us about what we will do. Satan on the other hand, will do whatever he …
The Sin of Sloth
Ok, time to get back to writing in the blog. Yes, I admit it, I am lazy sometimes, and that is unacceptable. After all, God gave me the talent to write, maybe not very good, but He did give me some, and I need to use it. After all the sin of sloth is one …
Ghosts in the Attic
Every once in awhile something will happen here at the house which makes me wonder if there might not be a ghost cohabitating with me. I have never seen one but strange things seem to happen sometimes, like dishes moving in the strainer, things falling off the counter or other unexplainable things. Now I don't …
Father Knows Best
Once again I find myself having to admit to myself that God actually does answer our prayers. Throughout this blog I have mentioned several things which have happened to me during the course of my life which can only be explained by the fact that God truly does exist and that He listens to us …
