“Life is all about the Journey, not the Destination!” I saw this sign at the airport today. Imagine, in an airport of all places! What stupidity! Tell passengers arriving at the airport to catch a flight, “Take any flight, sir, it doesn’t matter; it’s not about your destination, it’s only about the experience of the [...]

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

by Steve Ray on January 25, 2012

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. [...]

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.

No Chewing Gum at Mass

by Steve Ray on January 18, 2012

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, [...]

What are the chances of getting a picture like this?

by Steve Ray on January 10, 2012

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 [...]

New Year’s Resolution: Succeeded and Failed

by Steve Ray on December 31, 2011

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 – [...]
