Back before I fell off the back of a truck I remember how I was always the guy who never had enough. I never had enough money, I never had enough stuff. I was always working at least two jobs but I never had enough. No matter how much money I made it was never …

Listen to the Small Voice
As if God hasn’t given us enough to deal with by letting this corona virus pandemic continue, now He has to throw in this whole racial unrest thing in the middle of it. Riots, looting, arson, attacks against police officers are becoming all to commonplace. And yes, I have to wonder if this is just …
God is in Control
So in my last post, I sort of veered off course. I was going to talk about the message from the Gospel reading for that Sunday and how it is kind of appropriate for the times we are living in, but I got sidetracked. I guess the Holy Spirit decided to take over my fingers. …
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. I am very conflicted on this, conflicted about the "quarantine", God, my faith and my Church. My head says one thing, my heart another. Let …
What God Needs
I had an interesting conversation with my daughter today. Now this being the 21st century it wasn’t a face to face conversation but rather a finger to finger conversation.

It dawned on my today that practicing ones religion is like exercising. We go to the doctor, he or she ells us we need to exercise, it will make us feel better, and we proceed to ignore it. Then usually after the third time the doctor tells you to do it, you give in. You start a program, …
A Simple Post
Let your Word, Father, be a lamp for our feet and a light to our path, so that we may understand what you wish to teach us and follow the path your light marks out for us. A simple prayer and a simple message, but what if we still can't follow? What if we still …
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. …
