Trend

There's a growing trend in Western society to find excuses to invalidate fundamental freedoms.

WISC

When it comes time to remove the wolves the Shepard brought into the sheep pen, will it be possible?

Harsh Words

Liberals have been really p1$$ing me off lately.  I went on a two day rant on FB.  Tonight, amid the swirl of Holy incense from OHC came the words of Ephesians 4 about harsh words.  It's what Gospel writers might call a hard teaching for me.   May God forgive me.  It's going to be a hard road to believe what I believe and incorporate tolerance for the intolerant.  May God guide and strengthen me.  I ask this in Jesus' name.  Amen.

Technology Part II

Cell phones are rude.  People talk on them in public and ignore people.  People use them with friends (etc...) and it's like a cybernetic ADD implant.  "What?"

Technology Part I

Why do people put all their drama on Facebook?  It's embarrassing.

Jews Are Us

I was reading Ephesians 2:11-end today.  We are one people with the Jews now.  We are God's people.

God Wall Comment

The 38th Psalm spoke to me today about pain.  Ah, the living word....

Priests

If priests are supposed to minister to all, should they be posting political comments on Facebook?  Should they be expressing political beliefs at all?

Office

Rubicon

Well, I've done it.  I sent my resignation to the rector of St. Paul's....

Our Lives

The next chapter comes whether we're ready for it or not.  A new chapter has begun.  Where do I go from here?  Direction?  I was so focused on one thing.  What now is my raison d'etre?




I would like to spend more time with my mom and stepdad.  I'd like to find a day job and join the Masons and become more involved in things like my community and politics.  I'd like to find my Church home, if it has moved.  I would like to find meaningful employment; I'd like to do something that matters, help people.

Acts 4:32-45

I misread a passage of scripture on a web page of a Catholic religious order, and it had me wrestling with the words.  I was relieved to reread it and discover that this hard teaching was in fact not what I thought it said.  I was revealed, but was God trying to tell me something?
