A Catholic charity seeking to help 1000 seminary students in memory of martyred priest Father Jacques Hamel. May God bless this effort to bring good out of the darkest evil. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Read more
I didn’t know. In addition to the mesmerizing Michael Phelps, who has more going for him in the water than a dolphin, Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky have dominated the headlines. Simone Biles is a jaw dropper, almost dominating gymnastics in a way we’ve not seen since 76. And Katie Ledecky is a torpedo. She almost beat the world record in a qualifying heat. And they both carrying their Catholic faith with them wherever they go. Good to see the witness that... Read more
Some pediatricians say so. We’ll see where this goes. I expect people who disagree with the current trends will accept the study, those who don’t will point to bias or flawed science. We’ll see. Interesting in any event. Read more
I have no love for those little terms that are just ways of shutting down debate. Homophobe. Islamaphobe. They mean nothing. Well, not nothing. They have meaning. Whether they apply in most cases or not is the question. Phobe is simply phobia. Phobia is defined as an exaggerated, usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation. So I’m claustrophobic. I mean it. I don’t like heights and prefer to give a wide berth... Read more
To a life we’ll never have the pleasure of knowing. I can relate. I was working on my Masters when we found out about our oldest. I remember the morning. I was still in bed when my wife rushed in and told me the news: We were going to be parents! My first reaction was pulling the covers over my head. After all, we were in school, how would we afford this? Being Protestants, we were doing everything to avoid... Read more
That’s what we call resourceful. Read more
Take a second look at the world. Made. Happened. It isn’t always an effective evangelism tool, but once you’ve seen the Light, taking a look at the splendor and order of creation can be a spiritual boost for even the toughest times. Read more
One way is that he was telling his supporters to stand up for their rights and make sure the 2nd Amendment is preserved. That’s one way. The other ways is the way critics are reading it, that Trump was giving subtle marching orders to his pitchfork brigade of crazies to go home, grab their firearms, and take Hillary out with a shot to the head. Charity demands I accept the least damning interpretation. And if it was any other candidate I’ve... Read more
Oh no! As a general rule, I don’t get to wrapped up in stories like these. Do I believe in Satan? Yeah. After the 20th century, how can’t I? The the father of lies, adversary, tempter, accuser. I see plenty in the world to believe in a driving force of evil behind it all. I think I believed in Satan before I believed in Jesus. Then again, I wouldn’t want to take away from our own responsibility. In all due... Read more
I don’t know legalese and have no clue if the lawsuit has any legs. Probably not. It’s just interesting to see Patricia Smith in a news story that isn’t on Fox News. I saw her asked what she thought about Donald Trump going after the Khan family. I did see a clip of MSNBC going after her when she spoke at the RNC so Hillary didn’t have to. Like the Khan family, my heart goes out to her and to Woods and... Read more
