After someone says something that you view as “NOT SPOT ON”, have you ever been tempted to “roll your eyes, or emit a sigh, or maybe even a quiet mumble under your breath.” I have to admit that occasionally I’m guilty as charged. In fact, at times my response has even been more dramatic…. perhaps even … Continue reading You’re Not Serious ?

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,
The other day I went to see the doctor and the receptionist was happy. She greeted me with a smile and a cheerful attitude. She even laughed at one of my jokes… and she was helpful, making sure I was headed in the right direction. It’s always nice to meet happy people. Christians should be … Continue reading Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,
“Going Full Out”
I had a good friend who was a test pilot on the F-14 fighter jet. He held a number of the speed records on the plane during its testing phase. As he explained it, he was a bit crazy at the time and had nothing that stopped him from going all out. Fortunately he was … Continue reading “Going Full Out”
“ 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”. Despite all the misconceptions about love today, we know that love requires … Continue reading “ The GONG Show ”
“Thanks …… I Needed That”
In the movies from the '40's & '50's, subtle correction was usually not present. If someone was losing a grip due to some trauma, John Wayne would slap him across the face and say, “Snap Out Of It …slap,slap,slap…..Snap Out Of It”….. and the recipient would say, “Ahhhh, thanks, I needed that.” Depending on the circumstances, the … Continue reading “Thanks …… I Needed That”
“Open The Door”
Originally Posted Sept. 2, 2021 Recently I’ve been posting a number of BLOGS from last year. As I read some of them I can think, “wow that’s pretty good, or hmmm, not so good.” What’s interesting is that my assessment may not correspond with your assessment. We all can have different opinions about almost everything. … Continue reading “Open The Door”
“You Are Beautiful”
Today Judy and I were asked to “share our faith story” with some young people at Koinonia Academy…. grades 7-12, about 13-18 in age. Having not spoken to a group of young people for quite awhile, I was trying to remember what would be important to them at that age. Gee, what was I focused on when … Continue reading “You Are Beautiful”
“Only In God Is My Soul At Rest
“In this is love, not that we loved God but that HE LOVED US and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.” (1Jon 4:10) This quote from the first letter of St. John is very important. If we don’t get this straight, we can find our self trying to earn our way into God’s … Continue reading “Only In God Is My Soul At Rest
“Swingin Stan The Man”
Sometimes I find myself defending certain positions ….. not arguing with anyone or saying anything, but being somewhat out of sorts because my position isn’t being shared or affirmed. The topic could range from the important to trivial. Growing up we usually bought Fords, from the Blue ’49 Ford to the ’53 Ford, the ’62 … Continue reading “Swingin Stan The Man”
“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”
