“Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy”
It seems that I’m often being surprised? I like to settle into normal life, even if it’s a new normal …. “okay, things are crazy, but at least there are some things I can count on, so let’s just live our life.” So I live “fat, dumb, and happy” for a short time and then something else … Continue reading “Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy”

In a Pew Study that came out prior to the Covid Pandemic, it was reported that less than 20% of Catholics attend Sunday Mass every week. In my diocese the numbers were more dire.

There have been some who have had “near death experiences” and returned to give us some clues…. a bright light, a feeling of peace, meeting loved ones….. well those may be real clues, but … Continue reading “Well Done Good & Faithful Servant”
“A Good Guy”
I’ve sometimes thought that you can look at your life like a book with many chapters…. perhaps divided by age, maybe by the good times and the bad times, by successes and failures…. a book still being written.
