Fr. Glenn: Taking The Reins
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Almost every day there seems to be a new “hate group” condemned by those who oppose what that group stands for. But if you claim that everyone who opposes your own opinion is “hating”, then who is the true “hater”? And if you claim “hate” for every opinion or stand against your own, then how will you ever consider possible errors in your own position? That’s why criticism can be very helpful: if utilized rather than discarded out of hand, it forces us to reassess, consider other viewpoints, and perhaps refine what and why we believe.
That’s why the phrase “settled science” is somewhat Read More

The Virginia Class SSN is the latest class of advanced capability nuclear powered fast attack submarines, according to the Submarine Industrial Base Council. It helps ensure future national security by providing theater commanders with an affordable and flexible multi-mission stealth platform that replacesAll Shall Be Well: A Blessing For ‘When Church Breaks Your Heart’

A Blessing for “When Church Breaks Your Heart” by Dr. Kate Bowler
“Blessed are you standing among the ruins of a family of faith that once felt so sturdy, now turned to dust under your feet.
The certainty you once had, gone. The community you loved, dissipated.
The hope you held dear, hard to find.
Instead, what’s taken up residence is the very stuff that seems counter to what you imagined: Read More

Home Country: I’ll Have To Look It Up
Home CountryDoc smiled and felt really good inside when he heard the familiar bird song.
“Hey there, Wheezer,” he said, “happy nesting!”
For some reason, this mourning dove with the speech impediment comes around to Doc’s back yard every spring, and Doc thinks that’s just all right. If ol’ Wheez didn’t have that distinctive voice, Doc would never know if this bird favored his yard or was just another bird looking for a home. Let’s face it, Wheezer looks just like every other dove in town.
But he was back and flirting with a good-looking lady dove up on the branches of the locust tree. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Blessed Are The Meek
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Wealth and prestige tend to be the favorite things of most people; after all, wealth brings, if not happiness, at least (apparent) security and comfort. And prestige brings influence and admiration. Of course, many go way overboard in seeking these things—often criminally, whether the actions are legal or not. One might remember the Gospel parable (Luke 16) of poor Lazarus, in which the rich man apparently just stepped over the starving and ailing Lazarus who was laying at his gate. If not legally criminal, that’s certainly morally criminal.
Now, in the Sunday Catholic Mass Read More
