Today at Mass, there were two young children in the pew in front of us with their parents. It was quite evident that three of the four really didn't want to be there, the two kids and the father. It brought me back to when I was young, I didn't want to be there either. …
Obamacare, Religious Freedom and the Mandate Amendment
I normally don't cross post on the various blogs for which I write, but every once in awhile I feel the need to do so, in order to spread a message I feel is of particular importance. The Mandate Amendment to the Constitution is one of these issues. Obamacare is bad for this country on so …

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 …
Turning the Corner
I haven't been writing much lately, and what I have written on this blog has been a little down. I've been hitting some new lows, different from other lows in my life where I had some alcohol issues thrown in the mix which can certainly cloud one's thinking, but lows nonetheless.

Breaching the Wall
I don't know why exactly but I feel myself sliding backwards in my faith. Whether it is because I have been out of work for a few months now or something else I feel like I an heading back towards where I spent the last too many years. I realize that God works in ways we don't always …

The Subversion of Morality Continues
I often write about the Progressive movement and how they are constantly undermining Christian beliefs. They want to be in charge, they don't want God to be in charge, they don't want a young person's parents to be in charge, they want to control your thinking, your mores. Here is a "Guide" put out by …
What’s In It For Me
In my last two posts I bemoaned the results of the presidential elections. My take on the results is that we have become a "What's in it for me" culture and we vote accordingly, for whoever will give us more, for less. We have also become a "culture of death", where many of us no …
