COVID- 19 Heart vs Mind
I have started this post about five times now and am finding it extremely difficult to write. I am trying to write my thoughts on this whole Corona Virus situation.

Give Me Strength
I don't normally talk about my past other than to say I wasn't the best Catholic or Christian and I made a lot of bad choices. But the last few days have brought back some memories of when I was younger, mostly about my Dad. This past Tuesday my wife had a total hip replacement …
God Bless America
Happy Independence Day! Today is the 242nd anniversary of this great country of ours. It's sad to think of how many of our fellow Americans have forgotten some of the principles this country was founded on. I am going to share some of them today.

Jesus Didn’t Give Up
Here is a question for the class: How much faith do you put into God healing you when you are sick? I am not saying to not go to a doctor, or refuse treatment, but do you you think having faith in God helps you beat your illness? As you may or may not know …
The Light Has Come Into the World
On Christmas Day we welcome Jesus into the world. Seven days later we welcome in a New Year. For me, I try to take some time to look back over the past year on New Year's Day, I look at the lowlights and I look at the highlights. I can honestly say this year wasn't …
