Just a quick update. Tonight my lovely wife is taking the evening to spend some time with other moms in our area in the monthly Mom’s night out. They get together and discuss issues of homeschooling, motherhood, and a whole range of other topics. This means that I am home with the kids. But IContinueContinue reading “I am Dad, and I do not baby sit”

On Getting Something Done
Don’t let the title of this post confuse you. I didn’t actually finish anything, but I did make a good run at getting something started. As I have mentioned before I get story ideas at odd times, and if I don’t let them out, and write them down then tend to drive me crazy. lastContinueContinue reading “On Getting Something Done”
Zeal
This weekend the gospel readings used one of those words that you don’t hear a lot in modern society. “Zeal” John 2 Verse 15 “His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.” Being a writer I find word origin completely fascinating. Zeal comes from the Greek root word zêlos.ContinueContinue reading “Zeal”
Saying Goodbye to our Parish
A week or so ago I talked about writing a letter to the Bishop. I decided that I would not post that letter, instead I decided I would post the letter that we wrote to our priest and the pastoral administrator about our decision to leave the parish. Dear Father ######### and Mrs. ######## (pastoralContinueContinue reading “Saying Goodbye to our Parish”
Keeping Track
One thing that I have noticed over the years is that the older I get the more I seem to have to keep track of, and the harder that can be at time. Ok I will pause here for you to insert your jokes about me getting old…. Ok out of your system? Good. SoContinueContinue reading “Keeping Track”

When I was young I remember watching The Bill Cosby routine about the birth of his first daughter. Even when I was young the routine was pretty darn funny. Granted when I was that young many of the jokes went right over my head. It took me years to get the bit about, “She ToldContinueContinue reading “What is a Little Hot Water”
Lent Update
So a quick update on our progress on lent. We are most of the way through the second week of Lent, and we have made some moderate progress. This year the goal for our family was to pray at least one decade of the rosary each day. That really does not sound like much butContinueContinue reading “Lent Update”
Back on the Wagon (not that wagon)
The day I started this site the goal was that I would post everyday, even if they were only really short updates. The three days passed before I posted the first post. So I am not doing so great with that. I got on a roll last week, and then I got utterly knocked downContinueContinue reading “Back on the Wagon (not that wagon)”
A letter to the Bishop.
Well post #3 on my new blog and I am probably going to ruffle some feathers. That didn’t take long. If you don’t know already I live within the Diocese of Rochester. We are a troubled Diocese. If you have any doubt of that you only need read a few of the posts on CleansingContinueContinue reading “A letter to the Bishop.”
Stealing Jenny – A review
Stealing Jenny By Ellen Gable I have to admit that when I first started reading this book I was not sure I would like it. I have a very soft spot kids and especially babies. The thought of something bad happening was not appealing to me. But I found that once I had started readingContinueContinue reading “Stealing Jenny – A review”
