by | Sep 5, 2022 | , , , , , | 0 |

Since we are in Philippi Greece today, I thought I would post this colorful blog 🙂 We miss a lot when reading the English Bible. We’re at a great disadvantage.

My Thoughts While Waiting In Line for Confession

My wife and I recently went to confession. The line was pretty long (which was good to see, though I hate lines 🙂  As I sat and waited it struck me again that the Church is not just a loose association of like-minded followers of Jesus. It is not just “Jesus and me” as we […]

Putting Us to Shame

My wife and I just flew to Israel yesterday. We watched a young man standing among the crowd of passengers. He was uttering muffled chants under his breath and bobbing up and down. His chin is wagging under his serious eyes and his black hat. His prayer shawl with the many knotted tassels is under […]

It was just a normal morning — alarm clock, shower, espresso, dress and a saunter down the sidewalk to work. For Paul, it was another day with a whole lifetime ahead of him. But today was different. Someone else got up this morning too. They had their coffee dressed and jumped in the car. They […]

Who Are the Poor I’m Supposed to Care For?

by | Oct 19, 2021 | , , , | 0 |

A few years ago as we left our rented apartment in Rome and walked towards St. Peter’s Square I notice a ragged, filthy woman sitting on a piece of cardboard with a baby laying lethargically in her arms.
