I realized something today. All these years I asked "Why did God give up on me?" I should have asked "Why did I give up on God?"
Be Nice on the Way Up
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be able to go outside of your body and just observe your life, see what you look like from a different perspective? I started thinking about this this morning. Without going into details, I work fr a place where the leadership can best be described …
It’s Common Sense
Wouldn't it be nice if we all just got along? There would be no war, no strife, no violence. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just pick up a book and have all the secrets we need to do this? We do. It's called the Bible and you can learn from it whether or …
The Road Ahead
One day a couple of weeks ago I made a purchase at a local Catholic book store, I was given a prayer card with a prayer Thomas Merton. It is very appropriate for my life these last few months. Now before I print the prayer, I decided to do a little research on who Thomas Merton …
