I can still remember the morning of Thanksgiving when I was young. The smell of the turkey cooking in the oven wafting through the house… the smell was heavenly. And then the preparation of the dressing and potatoes and gravy added to the smell and the ambience… the table being set. And then the first … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving

Heaven Or Cryptocurrency
The other day I found myself thinking about how little I know about the many things going on in the world. Despite being 76 years old and having lived a full life with a good education, travel, study, having interfaced with many people, there is so much I don’t know. I don’t really know much … Continue reading Heaven Or Cryptocurrency

Truth Eliminates Fear
No one likes to have their weaknesses on display. I remember a time in 8th grade when Sister got the entire class together and divided them into the “A and B” category.

Fatigue
Have you ever tried to perform when you’re fatigued. If you’re not sure, try this….. go out and run five or six “50 yard wind sprints”. If you can still stand up, go and try to shoot the basketball, it’s a disaster…. “air ball city”. You probably will limp to the side, become nauseous, and look to … Continue reading Fatigue
Trying To Figure It Out
It seems we’re always trying to figure life out. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life in the scriptures and the teachings of the Catholic Church, in words from encyclicals and the Catechism, from the teachings of the saints and other holy men and women…. trying to understand the things of God. At various times … Continue reading Trying To Figure It Out
