The truest evidence for God requires faith and sometimes solitude and reflection. Coincidences like that happen more often than we realize. We need faith to be tuned in to them, to experience them. In times of peaceful reflection, such as gardening can bring, we can hear God more clearly.

A brief top-ten list of double standards from the left
Here is a top-ten list of hypocritical stances taken by the left that I’m trying to wrap my head around.
Jesus was led by the Spirit
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert, and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan. He was among wild beasts and the angels ministered to him. Mark 1:12 When the priest proclaims, “The gospel of the Lord,” there are certain scriptures that I find it hard to respond to withContinueContinue reading “Jesus was led by the Spirit”
Serenity in Battle
I LOVE this image of St. Joseph. He looks like he’s just out for a nice stroll in the woods, maybe getting some firewood and collecting flowers. And while he’s out walking and collecting, oh, yeah, he slays the devil. St. Joseph doesn’t show any sign of fear, repulsion, or anger at the beast belowContinueContinue reading “Serenity in Battle”
Implicit bias behind push for equity
BLUF: The current overpowering demand for equity and social justice is motivated by the left’s favorite catch phrase, implicit bias. The vice principal of my school sends out a weekly email to all staff reminding us that we need to be working on the mandatory District-wide Equity Training, which everyone was supposed to have completedContinueContinue reading “Implicit bias behind push for equity”

We will not be on this cross forever.The second Glorious Mystery, the Ascension, told me not to worry. We will rise again with him.The third Glorious Mystery, the descent of the HolyContinueContinue reading “Saturday, Glorious”
United Way: A globalist consortium pretending to be a non-profit
BLUF: If you’re going to donate money, why not give it to a small organization rather than a global consortium? United Way puts its money into lobbying Congress to change systems rather than feed people. The United Way and my school district have teamed up in a fund-raising effort to presumably help out our localContinueContinue reading “United Way: A globalist consortium pretending to be a non-profit”
The good you do
Even the mistakes you make when serving the Lord are beautiful and edifying. One morning last week, I met my cousin for coffee to talk about the way of the world and spiritual things. I have always admired his fortitude in walking with the Lord. He spent years devoted to prayer. He goes to aContinueContinue reading “The good you do”
A Prayer List for Our Enemies
A list of the enemies we need to know and pray for.
The ones we once thought trustworthy
BLUF: One man who was arrested at the nation’s capitol got so depressed that he committed suicide. The Democrats are responsible for more deaths than they know. Imagine, you hear about a new disease that is killing people and no-one knows how bad it is. As the news spreads, you watch people who you thoughtContinueContinue reading “The ones we once thought trustworthy”
