Family is coming in tomorrow and will be here through the end of the week. Will resume next week all you anxious followers! I know, I know. There aren\u2019t any. But someday! In the meantime, we\u2019ll come back next week with some reflections on how Catholicism filled those little gaps I discovered in my Protestant ministry. We\u2019ll look at Oliver Stone\u2019s ideas about Hitler, Stalin, Jews in the media, and other goodies and see just how that reflects what is happening in our society today. Who knows, maybe a movie review or two. I\u2019ll muse on this, post on that, and generally keep an eye on the news of the world, and try to get a grip on things and how they impact the future, and how \u2013 in my own humble opinion \u2013 being Catholic has, for the first time, given me a sense of stability even when all around me appears to be going quite mad. So that\u2019s all folks. Till next week, blessings and let a little of the joy God gives bring some light into your lives. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
