I've been trying to avoid mixing too much politics into this blog lately, I have other blogs where I can do that, but if you don't mind, I want to get something off my chest. As you may know I send a lot of time driving around for work. This means a lot of time …

How Do We Fix It
Lately I have begun reading C.S.Lewis' "Mere Christianity", a book he wrote in the early 1940's. I find it amazing how relevant it is to the world today. He talks about how at that time we were losing our morality, just like now. The book is how Lewis defines Christianity. From Book 3, Chapter 1 comes …
Are You One of the Righteous
From the "Something to think about" department: Have you ever wondered if we have been here before? As any one who reads this blog or any of my others for that matter, knows I am concerned with the fact that we are rapidly removing God from our lives. It makes you wonder if this has …
The Death Penalty and Terrorists
With the recent terrorist act in Boston and subsequent capture of the remaining bomber brings up one of those questions which cause a lot of consternation among Catholics. That question is: should the bomber, if convicted, get the death penalty? Like questions on same sex marriage, contraception and abortion, many Catholics are torn on the …
Where Was God
This has been a rough week for the Wayward Catholic, so many things going on in my life, crisis after crisis, and then we here in Massachusetts we have a couple of terrorists running around. But at least I learned some things this week and in the process have become closer to answers in my …

A Waylaid Catholic
In yesterday's post I talked about whether or not we need God in our lives. Obviously I think we do as the evidence of us pushing Him away becomes more and more evident with each passing day. With that, I have a confession to make... I was part of the problem. You see I grew …
Stuff is Only Stuff
With the beginning of Lent, I have mad a commitment to read the daily readings each morning before I go to work. In addition I also read the "Daily Homily" as found on the Catholic Online website. Doing this in the morning gives me all day as I am driving around for my job to …
Are We Following the Wrong Shepherds
When I read scripture, I am always struck how timeless it really is. Whether in the New or Old Testaments, we can always find something which will relate to what is going on in the world today. Let's look at Ezekiel 34 (EZ:34). EZ 34 tells us what happens when we have a lot of …
Big Brown and the Boy Scouts
It's been a few posts since I've written about politics on this blog, so it's about time. I received a press release from the Family Research Council regarding their decision to not ship anything via UPS any longer. This is because of UPS's decision to no longer fund the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) because they discriminate. As stated …
