“How Do You Top This”
I guess most of us have heard that Tom Brady retired after 23 record setting years in the National Football League(NFL)….winning 6 Super Bowls and holding numerous records. In the NFL, he is generally considered the GOAT (GOAT= Greatest of All Time). Tom is 45 years old and it seems that he will never do … Continue reading “How Do You Top This”
“Pay Attention”
Back in the day, there used to be a lot more “fire & brimstone” teachings from the Church. I still tremble a bit when I recall going to confession to Fr. Frieberger back in the ‘50’s … he was a no nonsense, no funny business priest. You knew where you stood after a conversation with … Continue reading “Pay Attention”
“God’s Will…the Giant Bulldozer”
“Ultimately we turn to Christ not because he has NICE things to reveal, but because he has TRUE things to reveal. For only the TRUTH has grace, and only grace saves.” (Fr. Gregory Pine, 2023 Magnificat Lenten Companion, 2-28-23) Today we can hear “oh that person is so nice and he speaks so well, and he’s got a nice sense … Continue reading “God’s Will…the Giant Bulldozer”
“Sharkie—Teaching About God”
Learning comes in many ways. The Lecture is one of the common methods of teaching and hopefully learning. I remember the big lecture hall at St. Louis U…. a hundred or so energetic Organic Chemistry students staring glassy eyed at the board filled with the formula for Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. Our teacher Dr. Igor speaking with … Continue reading “Sharkie—Teaching About God”
“We All Must Choose”
Life is funny. Sometimes it seems like we have things under control…. health is good, just got a raise, have money in the bank, kids are doing well, the Giants are showing signs of hope. If we can just freeze these moments then life is very good. Other times it can seem like we’re circling … Continue reading “We All Must Choose”

“ The GONG Show ”
Originally Posted Sept. 29, 2021 I think most of us have heard a fair amount about love. As Christians we know the first commandment is to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength…and our neighbor as ourselves…. “the Golden Rule”.

“Plan For Lent”
“Hey Dave, what are you doing for Lent, what are you giving up,….. is it spinach and cauliflower again?” To be honest it’s not a precise science for me. I find that if I’m not careful, I can set the wrong focus for Lent. Sometimes I can imagine some grand adventure of serving the poor in … Continue reading “Plan For Lent”
Listen To The Heartbeat Of God
As we enter the Lenten season there are so many great readings from scripture, the saints, from current day writers and theologians. I’m finding every article I read wonderful and helpful. It’s like walking thru a delicious buffet filled with all my favorite foods; I’d like to take some of everything, but it’s too much. … Continue reading Listen To The Heartbeat Of God
