Last year we were driving home on the New Jersey Turnpike when a huge thunderstorm overtook us… a deluge; I saw Noah’s ark in the distance. We were in three lanes of traffic, the wipers were on max, our emergency flashers were on, and you could barely see the car in front of you. I’m still … Continue reading “Beware of the Chaos”

“Loving More Fully”
We are blessed in our parish to have a scripture scholar as our pastor. Every day I leave Mass having learned something more about the Lord and his word and the saints, and am more prepared to fight the “good fight of faith”. Yesterday he mentioned a quote from Dorothy Day. You may know of … Continue reading “Loving More Fully”
“Do I Really Love My Dog”
“Oh, I love White Castle Hamburgers …they are so delicious …. those onions, the soft buns, the pickle and ketchup…mmmmmmm! Well Dave that’s great for you, but I really love my dog Ollie… he is so wonderful and fuzzy…he’s my best friend. Well Teddy I love the Jersey Shore….”. Hmmmmmm. Love has become a very common word today….easily losing its real meaning. When … Continue reading “Do I Really Love My Dog”
BLOG Update… “There’s Always More”
Since we’re moving into a new year, I thought we should do a little “BLOG housekeeping”. For the more discerning “BLOGEES”, you may have already noticed some recent changes. The new title is “Dave’s BLOG-- There’s Always More”. And the “Onion” is the new symbol of the BLOG. I hope you get the implications. There is always more … Continue reading BLOG Update… “There’s Always More”
“Keep Our Head In The Clouds….”
Originally Posted August 13, 2021 I wonder how Moses felt coming down from Mount Sinai? He spent 40 days in the presence of God, conversing, receiving the 10 commandments.

“ Stingy Crab or Cheerful Lender”

Nobody likes to be with someone who’s complaining all the time…. “wow, it’s sooooo hot, I hate this weather”…. … Continue reading “ Stingy Crab or Cheerful Lender”
Queen For A Day
If you’re over a 100 you may remember the T.V. show “Queen For A Day”. It ran from the mid 40’s to mid ‘60’s. Contestants would tell their “stories” and the audience would select the winner … the one who had the roughest situation. The “Queen” would get a crown and robe and sit on a … Continue reading Queen For A Day
Pope Benedict
May this Giant of the Church rest in peace. Pope Benedict was a wonderful and holy priest and bishop and Pope. We were so blessed to have him as a great leader for these many years… a great theologian, a saintly man. He oversaw and wrote much of the Catechism of the Catholic Church…he was a wonderful … Continue reading Pope Benedict
Time for A Tune-Up
Back in the day if your car was running a bit sluggishly, it was time to get a tune-up…. take it in for new points & plugs, change the oil and filter, lube job, perhaps a new set of tires, top it off with a nice wash and wax job. As you drove it home … Continue reading Time for A Tune-Up
January Doldrums
Many years ago I gave a talk called “The January Doldrums ”. The point of the talk was that January can often be a “down time” … Christmas is over, the presents have been opened, the bills are starting to arrive, and there aren’t any holidays to look forward to. It can be a time … Continue reading January Doldrums
