As I may or may not have mentioned before, I spend my days driving around all day. This means I spend a lot of time with the radio on. When I can I listen to Catholic radio, not always an easy thing to do as there aren't many around where I am. I miss my satellite radio. …
Abortion for the Common Good
If you follow politics, you'll often hear the phrase, "the Common Good". This is most often heard from those on the Progressive Left, who love to enact programs and laws which they claim are for the "Common Good". It never seems to amaze me that a group who actively seeks to remove God and all …
Forty Years and Fifty Five Million
What do these two numbers, forty and fifty five million, have in common? It's been forty years since the Supreme Court said it was okay to kill babies, and fifty five million is the estimated number of babies which have been killed. That's fifty five million human beings which didn't have a choice as to whether …
Ask and it will be given you
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. …

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. But...All of a sudden …
One More Test
In my last post I spoke of how I have been feeling down lately and have lost confidence in myself. The question arises: Is God testing me? I have written about this before. but would like to elaborate a little more on it. I don't think God tests us per se. Satan, however certainly does. …
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 …
