In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replies, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery.

Misinterpretation of the Bible reviewed: For those who haven’t heard, Washington State just passed both laws – gay marriage and legalized marijuana.

Every Catholic needs to learn apologetics. This does not mean we apologize for being Catholics :-). The word apologetics comes from 1 Peter 3:15 where our first Pope tells us we should be ready to explain and defend the TRUTH of our faith. The Greek word used by Peter is apologia.

Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:13–14)

Janet and I had a free day so I decided to take an adventure. I called my friend George in Bethlehem and he picked me up and drove me to the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem. I started my walk from the place where Jesus was born. That’s why the title is from “Womb to [...]
