Working On The Details Of Our Faith
We need to contintually work on the details of our faith in the same way that athletes spend years working on the minute details of their sport, our faith journey is built through daily, intentional practice. I recently came across a video showing a boy’s six-year commitment to perfecting his three-pointers. I saw something deeper […]
Five Hard Truths That Will Set You Free
I am taking the super easy route with this post, “Five Hard Truths That Will Set You Free,” because I am borrowing heavily from Monsignor Charles Pope, who was inspired to write his article from an essay written by Fr.

A Love Driven Life
Two of our four children are adopted. One of our adopted children has what is been termed “reactive attachment disorder” or RAD.

Are You a Child or a Business Professional?
And Jesus said absolutely nowhere…”Are you a child or are you a mature business professional”? He did say however, in Matthew 18: 3-4 “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” I just read that passage and I wondered whether Jesus had the […]
Find Instant Happiness
People who reject God’s love try to find instant happiness in very predictable ways. It’s the reason that in 2022 advertising agencies alone raked in 68 billion in revenue.
