#28 Catholic Survival Guide to Election 2016
My wife told me last night that she is considering deleting Facebook until after the election. I think that’s probably a common thought. The nomination circus has ended. The official presidential campaigns have just begun, with the major party conventions in the books. November is still a long way off and I am already fatigued…

#27 About That F Word…(forgiveness)
I am very grateful for Bishop Robert Barron. In one of his YouTube videos, he gave the best definition of love I have ever heard. I have found this very useful, especially when working with difficult people. He says Love is “willing the good of the other. It’s an act of the will, not an…

#24 Are You The Next St. Nicholas?
“Yeah, right.” Now be careful, I actually heard someone think that. One of the most addictive things about writing is how we connect from mind to mind, and as you read this article’s title, someone’s inner Ebenezer sent me a small dose of sarcasm. But hear me out, I might not be asking you what…

“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not your woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 The first time I read this verse I was several hours into a job interview that would change my life. I…
