She said, “But I am so thirsty.” An dignified Jewish man sitting nearby said, “I think I have some Euros I [...]

My non-Christian brother found two paintings at an art show and asked me, “What in the world are these? They seem to have pagan elements. What do they have to do with Jesus and Mary?” Here is my explanation. If you readers have anything to add, please post it in the Comments below. Thanks. Thanks. [...]

This was very clever. A friend posted it on my site. “When someone tells me they are non-denominational — I tell them I am pre-denominational.” For those who don’t get it: pre-denomination means “before the Protestant Reformation (read: Rebellion).” The Protestants gave birth to the every multiplying denominations. Before them there was the pre-denomination — [...]

We visited Guadalupe Parish in Midland Texas and found this sign at the front door. I thought it was a good idea. I recalled the girl sitting in front of me last Sunday at Mass chewing like a cow with smacking slurping sounds. Gum at Communion is not a good idea either — chew, chew, [...]

My son Jesse was trying to get five wiggly kids to sit still for a family picture on his iPhone. The timer ran out and the picture snapped — who could have planned the funny result? The fist is swung by new baby Daniel Xavier and the the optical illusion has Elizabeth Bella Rose getting [...]

Are We Ready for the Year of Faith? Pope Benedict XVI is giving us a great opportunity in this New Year to make a big difference. In October he announced the “Year of Faith” which according to Vatican statements is designed to help Catholics around the world deepen their relationship with God, better appreciate the [...]

Last Year’s Two Resolutions: 1) Run 1,000 miles and 2) read the Bible thru. Only got 1/2 way thru the Bible – but continuing into 2012! Ran 1,180 miles. Now I start running all over again in 2012. Old men need to stay healthy for God, Church, family and friends. Join me in exercising – [...]

I met Love, Health, Peace and Joy. They needed a permanent place to stay. I gave them your address; hope they arrived safely. Happy New Year :)

This is an interesting view of the birth of Jesus – as if Facebook was alive in the 1st century. Worth a quick look here.

Was there really a man named Jesus? Or do the Catholics just try to tease us? I went to the places, Studied books for all traces, And discovered he’s real and that should sure please us. A Limerick just sent to me from Darrell, a new convert, in response to the limerick I just posted: [...]

What a delightful and fun hour! If you have two brain cells that connect and wish to understand God and the world — and if you aren’t afraid of the truth and talk about sex — you will LOVE this. If you aren’t polltically correct about atheism and Islam and other such things, you will [...]

I finally decided to write a brief story of our conversion story. It is easy to read in about 15 minutes, about our coming into the Catholic Church. Janet and I converted to the Catholic Church in 1994 but it still seems like yesterday. It has not grown old and we are still thrilled with [...]
