Kind of Quiet Lately

I know, I know I started off going great guns, one some times even two posts in a day, and then for the last 5 days or so I think I have managed one or two posts total. Not the best way to run things. I hate to say, “hey I was busy” but, heyContinueContinue reading “Kind of Quiet Lately”

The Cost of Duty – A Review

The Cost of Duty by Zachary Ricks My rating: 5 of 5 stars As the second story in this series I was not disappointed. Zachary Ricks crafts a wonderful tale of palace intrigue without ever taking you into the palace proper and weighing the story down with dull court life. Alexander and his band damagedContinueContinue reading “The Cost of Duty – A Review”

A set of Keys A Rally and Paralysis

This weekend, Saturday to be exact, I lost my keys. I still suspect they are in the house somewhere, but I can’t find them. I had them when I dropped my son off to volunteer and then some time after I got home they disappeared. I have looked in all the normal places, and someContinueContinue reading “A set of Keys A Rally and Paralysis”

Teenagers – Oh the Horror

*** This rant is brought to you by the third person today that I saw post something about this.*** If you are the parent of one child who is dreading the teenaged years you might want to stop reading this right now, I am probably going to make you angry. Better yet, read this post.ContinueContinue reading “Teenagers – Oh the Horror”

Praying

**Before I begin I want to say that I don’t think that my method is unique, or that it is the only way or even the right way, it is just what works for me. When I pray and I am trying actually pray with something in mind, and not just being thankful, I normallyContinueContinue reading “Praying”

On Getting Writing Done

** A side note before I begin the meat of this post. I had the post open and blank for about four hours before I finally got around to writing anything in it. How is that for Irony? I have been struggling to get some writing done lately. Not just the sitting down and puttingContinueContinue reading “On Getting Writing Done”

March 14 Statement On Religious Freedom And HHS Mandate

Below is the Letter from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. If you have not been hearing about this from your priest you need to ask him why? It is a very important issue, that is not just about the Catholic church but about everyone’s Freedom to worship. You can find the original onContinueContinue reading “March 14 Statement On Religious Freedom And HHS Mandate”

Two and a Half Homilies

This weekend, because of some rather unusual circumstances I ended up going to Mass three times. Not that I mind, if nothing else by the end of the weekend, I felt like I knew a lot more about the readings than I normally do. Here is the short version of what happened: On Saturday night,ContinueContinue reading “Two and a Half Homilies”

A letter from the Pope

I am going to cheat a little today since I have not had a chance to write all day. I am going to post a letter from the Pope to the United States Bishops. Honestly I don’t know what else I could say other than Woohoo. I can’t add much to this. This is DirectContinueContinue reading “A letter from the Pope”

We are all Catholics Now

I think have gained a new found respect for Glen Beck. Like him or not he makes some really good points. And the reality is that we are still among the biggest churches in the world. What chance does a single congregation have if the government is willing to take on the Catholic Church likeContinueContinue reading “We are all Catholics Now”
