We really need more Joseph's out in the world today. We need more people who will take responsibility and do the right thing even if they don't need to. In today's Gospel, Matthew 1: 18-24, we recall the story of the angel coming to Joseph letting him know that his betrothed, Mary, would be having …

More Intolerance From the Most Tolerant
In yet another case of intolerance from the people who claim to be the most tolerant people in the world, the progressive left has attacked another good faithful Christian. Of course I am referring to Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame. Yes he exercised his First Amendment rights and expressed his views about homosexuality which …
Who am I to Judge
In my last post I wrote how I had done something I never had before, gave money to a street person. I wrote how it reminded me of Matthew 25: 44 - 46 and "What you did for the least..." I have been reflecting even more on this over the last couple of days. As …

Why isn't it enough to believe? Yesterday I was doing some research for a possible article and read something written for atheists on how to argue the existence of God with someone who believes. And of course this got me questioning my beliefs. Are they right when they say there is no scientific proof that …
What’s in It for Me?
This is a question which has become more and more common in the last few decades. Everyone wants to know what they will get out of something, whether it is their work, school or a relationship. It seems to be very rare these days when someone will do something for nothing. Why do you think …
We Too Are in the Boat
One of the things I have come to understand in my journey back from waywardness, is to trust in Jesus. To trust that He will be there if I struggle and if I fall. Not that this means I can not try and just wait for Him to fix things, but knowing He is there …
