The last few weeks have been especially hard for me. And I admit they have been testing my faith. There was a time when these same things would have beaten me but not this time. Why? Because this time, I have faith. I know that God is with me and will give me the strength …
Don’t Become Lion Food
I have written about the different ways God talks to us. Some people call them signs, some people call them miracles, I use the term signs. One of these signs is dreams. Dreams can be tricky because you need to be able to discern between this that are from God, Satan or bad chili. Since …
Sunday Reflection: Duty to Live in the Light
Every once in awhile I come across a passage in the bible that hits me, like a two by four. This happened last night when I read Ephesians 5: 6 - 20. I wish I had read this forty years ago. Maybe if I had I would have this whole thing called life figured out …

He Did it Again
I have to admit that the last few months have been tough on me and especially on my faith. I was beginning to head back down a road that would lead me away from the church. I was losing faith because it seemed like God wasn't there. And then He did it again... He answered …
Priests are People Too
I just got back from Mass, the first time I have been in some time. And once again I kick myself for not going every week because I really enjoy it. No matter what kind of week I have had I always leave feeling better. There is a certain kind of peace that comes over …

I know I have been writing a lot about the latest Planned Parenthood butchery, but I feel it is important. I have been thinking a lot about abortion lately and how wrong it is. I admit at one time I considered myself Pro-Choice, although I never thought abortion was right, but I felt that a …
How Low Can We Go
I am so glad to see we have our priorities straight. Finally, there is outrage throughout the world about needless, senseless, and horrible death. The mainstream media has covered this extensively. All the news channels have had their say expressing horror that this could happen. Even late night talk show hosts have broken down on the …
Time to Stop the Killing
As much as I don't like labels, I consider myself a devout Catholic (maybe not as devout as I should be), a Conservative and neither a Republican or a Democrat, since both these parties have been corrupted by money and special interests. I am one of those who believes in fiscal conservatism and believe that …
Where is the Bottom
Here is one from the "How far do we have to fall before we hit bottom" department. In the news this week is a story about a website where married couples can hook up for affairs. It seems that a group of hackers has hijacked all the information and is threatening to release all the information unless …
