Last week I talked about whether or not this was the beginning of the end times. Evidently the Rapture was supposed to happen last week (a fact I didn't know about when I wrote that post) and I have to assume either it didn't happen or I wasn't chosen. I thought a lot about the …

Damn Those Churchy People
You just can't trust those churchy people. That's what I was told in a conversation I had a while back, the person who said it shall remain anonymous. I asked what exactly was meant by "churchy people." He said, "You know, those people that go to church and are always trying to do good when …
Are the Animals Lining Up
As I am sitting here listening to the rain tattooing the roof of the building I am in I am wondering if this will be going on for another 39 days. Of course, I know that God promised Noah that it wouldn't happen again, but could he change His mind? No, because he doesn't renege …
Are you Rolling the Dice
Last week I talked about the sin of sloth. I followed that up with a post about choices. What better way to follow up than to write about making the best choices. While we may or may not agree that we all have free will and are able to make our own choices, there is something we …
See No Evil, See No Good
I guess when Atheists claim they don't believe, they really don't believe. I ran across this post today from the "Friendly Atheist" on Patheos discussing a recent photo purported to be of persecuted Christians which the author has proved to be fake. I certainly can see where the evidence proves it is fake, like so …
Choices and Grandchildren
This morning my fifth grandchild entered the world. Yes, it is an occasion of joy, but it is also an occasion of some sorrow and some depression. Anytime a new life enters the world, this is a joyful thing as God has created another being in which He can flourish. But therein lies the sadness …
The Next Step
Each journey begins with a first step which then leads to a next. In my journey back to the Catholic faith, I have reached the third. I don't know how many there are, but I know I have reached the third. The first two were returning to Mass and making a complete confession, the second …
Love as I have loved you
Every once in awhile something hits me like a lead pipe. It's usually at night when I am reflecting on my day and asking myself whether or not I was a good Christian or not. In today's Gospel reading, Jesus says: I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another …
Believers and Non-believers
As I sometimes have a tendency to do, especially when I have too much time on my hands, I think too much. And when I think too much, I have to post about it which can lead to some very strange insights. Here comes one now... I had a comment on this morning's post from …
Let’s Reverse the Trend
A recent article on TownHall.com written by John Hawkins in which he outlines five signs that American society is degenerating. I agree with all five and can be all traced to one main cause. The five signs are as follows: Dependency Debt Decay in entertainment Politics Marriage When you read Hawkins' descriptions of these five, …
