Turn to Jesus Christ, Who Gives Life Its Meaning

I am having surgery Monday. I wrote about it for the National Catholic Register. I am having surgery next Monday to learn whether or not my cancer has spread.Docs in movies know what is wrong and what to do about it at jump street. Or, if they don’t get it at first glance, they engage in heroics and ultimately figure it out.Movie medicine has nothing to do with real-life medicine as I have experienced it this past year and a half. Cancer diagnosis is more like playing a game of Clue. T … [Read More...]

Benign … Rewind

April 19, 2017 By Leave a Comment

I got a call from my doctor yesterday, and the "suspicious mass" wasn't so benign as they originally thought.

United Airlines guards drug a man off one of its flights because they had overbooked it. Several passengers posted videos of the event.One question that comes to mind is how much United Airlines is paying the guys who did the dragging. I can't imagine that it's all that much.I've told employers to shove it before, and, … [Read More...]

I was simply floating in the atmosphere of blessedness that pervades the place.Without introduction, God opened up a sort of vision. I learned that I was going to be doing something very different in the future, that I had … [Read More...]
