“Pinochle & Ice Cream”
You’ve probably heard that “laughter is the best medicine”. In fact I read that “laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals; endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.” Wow, the next time you see some clown rolling on the floor laughing, don’t call the men … Continue reading “Pinochle & Ice Cream”
“The Humble Ask Good Questions”
You need to be on your toes when you ask Jesus a question. If it does not pertain to his current message, he ignores it or answers another question. Jesus was not into small talk… “hey Jesus, how bout them Knicks” is not going to get much of a response from the Lord. The recent … Continue reading “The Humble Ask Good Questions”
“I Can’t Resist Him Any Longer”
I just returned from the funeral mass of a wonderful friend, Lou Cirrotti. It was a beautiful mass, a great sendoff for this good man. Fr. Luke Fletcher, the main celebrant, shared the last text he received from Lou shortly before he died …… “Jesus is calling me home and I can’t resist him any longer”. I’ve … Continue reading “I Can’t Resist Him Any Longer”
“Distillation”
I still have occasional flashbacks from my Organic Chemistry labs back in the late ‘60’s, with “the goofball students” (not me) igniting the various volatile chemicals, followed by the crashing of the expensive glassware as they tried to put out the raging infernos…. the lab instructor giving detailed instructions in a foreign language…”ah,ya,ya,ya,ya”. Yet I do remember a … Continue reading “Distillation”
“Wow, What An Adventure”
Faith is such an overwhelming reordering of our perception of reality. With faith we are able to look beyond the finite and look into the eternal…. looking beyond our problems to God’s blessings. With faith our joy comes alive… our hope wins the day. Listen to these lines of Jacques Fesch, a condemned murderer, who … Continue reading “Wow, What An Adventure”
“ Waste Time With Jesus”
Originally Posted Oct. 29, 2021 I find it interesting that some last names are common first names. What if their last names were also their first name.

“Don’t Be Such A Crab.”
Originally Posted Oct. 28, 2021 “Don’t be such a crab !” These were the words from my mother to any of the kids that were “acting up” or “being a pill”, or “acting like a crab”. In truth, who likes to be around a “crab”… they make themselves and everyone around them miserable. Crabbiness is also … Continue reading “Don’t Be Such A Crab.”
“Lou”
I was speaking to a wonderful holy priest the other day who has been my spiritual director for many years. We are pretty close in age and he reminded me that we are in a time of “letting go”….. letting go of our health, of our own abilities and skills, of our friends and family who are … Continue reading “Lou”
“Even Smarty Pants Can Go To Heaven”
Today we hear a lot about science…. Science is the answer… listen to the doctors and the professors. Well, I’m definitely not anti-science. I think science has made major contributions to life on this earth over the years. Hey, did I ever tell you about my project while a chemist at a big Fortune 100 … Continue reading “Even Smarty Pants Can Go To Heaven”
