Once again I must apologize for my lack of posts, although some may be thankful for that. I have no excuse. It certainly isn't for want of time, I have had plenty of that lately, I haven't been busy, not even with the RCIA program. Nope, I am just suffering from one of the seven …

In You Lord I Take Refuge
The Psalm of the Day: In you, Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness deliver me; incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me! Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to save me. For you are my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake …
No One Said it Would be Easy
While at Mass today I began to think about the last year of my life. There have been some good things, and some bad things, mostly good. I have continued my journey back to the Lord, and have made some great strides, but as I always say, I have come a long way but still …
Big C Little c
When my kids were small I used to read them Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book! When we came to the C page it went "Big C, Little c, C C C, what begins with C?" This ties in nicely with my last post, where I talked about why we need a church building. Photo …
There is no Try
Am I trying too hard? Or not hard enough? This is the question I have been asking myself (and God) lately. I've been asking this about the RCIA program I am involved in as a facilitator. You see the issue is I feel like the program should be more than it seems to be right …
Don’t Build a Bigger Barn
Yesterday's gospel reading was the "Parable of the Rich Fool" - Luke 12:13 - 21. This parable is about a rich man who has so much grain he doesn't know what to do with it. He decides to tear down his old barns and build a bigger one. He figures he will be all set …
The Truth Will Set Us Free
Every once in a while I will come across something that just strikes me in a certain way. Whether it is a passage from Scripture or a line from one of the thousand other things I seem to always be reading. Today it is a line from the Book of Proverbs. The justice of the …
And Now Some Joyful Noise
I realize my last few posts have been a little on the somber and serious side, so today I decided to lighten up the mood. I actually got this idea while at Mass this morning. Did any of you realize the church was at the forefront of text message shorthand hundreds of years ago? I'm …
Enough is enough
One of the biggest obstacles I faced when I began my journey back to the church was that of the "Clergy Abuse" crisis. How could I believe in an institution that covers up severe wrongdoing by those who we are supposed to trust? According to the Catholic Church, they are the absolute moral authority. We …
Thou Shalt Not Kill
Since beginning my journey back to the Catholic faith, there have been many times when I have questioned the teachings of the Church. Even though I question them after researching them and thinking about them I find myself agreeing with the Church's position. One of these questions involved the death penalty. Prior to this week, …
