“Is God Fair?”
Fair…… “impartial, honest, free from self-interest or favoritism, loving…”. Fairness is a good thing. I can still remember arguments as kids ….. “hey, that’s not fair, you’re cheating; I’m taking my football and going home.” Well it looks like it’s not only kids who complain about fairness. In today’s reading from Ezekiel, the subject of fairness is brought … Continue reading “Is God Fair?”
“Eyes Bigger Than My Appetite”
Originally Posted March 10, 2022 Judy has often told the story of her dad taking the family out to eat at a local cafeteria. The kids would fill their plates with all kinds of foods and goodies, while her dad would not get anything…just an empty plate. He would then eat all the food that the kids … Continue reading “Eyes Bigger Than My Appetite”
“God Is Not My Attendant”
Originally Posted March 8, 2022 “The old onion is at it again”. Just when I thought I could take a little break from being convicted of my faults and sin, something else pops up.

“Lent- Time To Recalibrate”
Perspective ….. a particular way of considering something, a point of view. The older I get the more I tend to value perspective. Having perspective helps me to not be so quick to overreact and jump to conclusions, or to underreact and kick the can down the road. I find that my perspective can get blurry at times due to my current … Continue reading “Lent- Time To Recalibrate”
“Return With Your Whole Heart”
God does not reach out to his lost sheep with a tepid and distracted effort. He uses all of his godly love and strength to draw us back; he knows that eternity is at stake. And God demands a full response from us. Today’s morning prayer, mass readings and meditations (ref. Magnificat, 2-21-24) were a … Continue reading “Return With Your Whole Heart”
“Taking It Up A Notch”
Remember yesterday’s BLOG about “only the good dying young …. while the Lord giving the rest of us extra time to get our act together”? Well today’s May reading might actually add a footnote to that BLOG. The reading is from Isaiah: “Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not … Continue reading “Taking It Up A Notch”
“Time To Get Holy”
My mother used to toss around the quip “only the good die young”. I never really thought too much about its meaning or origin.... lately I have wondered more about what it could mean. In checking it out, it seems like it has more of a pagan background than Christian. ("Whom the gods love dies young; Best go … Continue reading “Time To Get Holy”
“Shadow Side of The Soul”
There are many excellent spiritual authors today who speak the truth in compelling ways. While all may be truthful and good and helpful, I find there are some that tend to almost always get my attention, to frequently make a point that hits home with me. Fr. Donald Haggerty of St. Pat’s Cathedral is one of … Continue reading “Shadow Side of The Soul”
“The Next St. Paul”
Originally Posted March 7, 2022 I think it’s likely that the great leaders of the Church for the next decades are sitting out in the marketplace, out in the government, out in some obscure family, perhaps in some classroom, or maybe even in some jail.
