As a firm romantic, I believe wedding anniversaries, especially big ones, should be big deals in the lives of a married couple. Cruises are a top choice for couples celebrating a milestone anniversary. Other vacation destinations can be planned, too. Not to take away from the travel industry because getaways...

Let’s talk heartache before we talk hope. The top headline in the July 31st The Times-Tribune read “CLAIMS V. DIOSCESE GROW.” A statewide grand jury report details 81 individuals, mostly former diocesan priests but also members of religious communities and lay people have been credibly accused of sexually abusing minors....

I found something beautiful I wish to share. In Colossians 2:7, Paul is writing to a people who, like us, can be swayed by cultural norms that may lead to confusion when it comes to how and who Jesus Christ is, and what he has done. When things get wild...

Busy people. You know who you are. Do you stop—even for a second—and think why you’re so hard at work? If you’re glorifying God in your work, if your time is spent for Him in what you do, it is still work; if it’s hot it’s still hot, if it’s...

“Bickering is just what we do,” the seasoned churchgoer says to the newbie who, after her first meeting on the committee, feels she just witnessed a hit and run. Only there isn’t a lot of running as the meeting ends. The one who did the damage just picks up her...

  That’s what it took. Just one second. Well, maybe even the fact that the foul happened in a second at the 145th Kentucky Derby can be debated. Maybe veteran horse jockey Luis Saez premediated the act on Maximum Security, a three-year-old bay who has only been racing since this...

  I’ve read of an eleven-year-old girl standing in line to receive communion this past Easter Sunday. For her upcoming birthday, she wanted jeans and a tee shirt, but that won’t be. She died in that communion line right there in her church as one of over three hundred and...

Some people pray on their knees. It’s part of God’s work. Marine veteran Micah Herndon, who was deployed to Iraq in 2008 and Afghanistan in 2009, finished the 2019 Boston Marathon on his hands and knees. I think this is also a part of God’s work. The 31-year-old crawled across...
