This spring I have begun taking long walks in the woods. Taking long walks in the woods is much better than taking long walks off of short piers. These walks have further confirmed what I already knew... God is real. Atheists would like us to believe that everything was created by random interactions between molecules …

To Live or Not Live
I often talk about cafeteria Catholics, those who call themselves Catholics and then proceed to pick and choose what parts of the faith they will follow. "Let's see, I'll go to Mass every Sunday but it is okay if I have an extra-marital affair." "I can take communion but I don't feel I need to …
A Case of Twisted Logic
We're better off dead, or so thinks at least one pro-abortion advocate. After the Alabama State Senate passed a very restrictive abortion law this week, Jameel Jamil an actress who of course knows what is best for all of us sent out a tweet expressing her anger. She has had an abortion and said it …
Beware of the Dog
A few years ago I came across the writings of the founder of Opus Dei, Saint Josemaria Escriva. At the time I didn't have much time to read them but recently as I was perusing my 4,000 bookmarks (okay maybe not that many) and came across them again. St. Josemaria believed we can all find …

Using His Inside Voice
A couple of Sunday's ago we had a discussion at the RCIA session about how God speaks to us. As I have written before, with all the noise that surrounds us it can be difficult at times to hear Him. One of the participants asked how we can tell if it is God or Satan …
Eyes that do not see
It was either this week or last week at the RCIA program we were discussing how things were in the "old days". I used to call them "the good old days" but now I question just exactly how good they were. We talked about how when I started school we began every day with the …
Whose Side Are You On
It's time for the Catholic Church to reunite. As St. Paul asked the Corinthians "Is Christ divided?"
You Did What at Mass
Last Sunday's 10:00 Mass kicked off Catholic School Week. Many of the students from the parish school were there with their parents. Before the Mass began I was watching the people who were coming in and I noticed a few things missing. Let me begin by saying I am in no way judging anyone in …
