I enjoyed this film, God is (NOT) Dead. Awhile back I wrote a post mentioning this film and two others dealing with God in one way or another. I finally got around to watching this one. Essentially, it is a well told debate between a student and a philosophy teacher. The teacher begins the class […]

Did you catch this story? Over the weekend, in Mosul, Iraq, the newly proclaimed Caliphate that stretches from parts of Syria into Iraq, supported by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL), a highly successful force of Islamic fundamentalists, declared to all Christians residing in Mosul that they had 72 hours […]
I woke from a bad dream around 5:00 a.m. Unable to go back to sleep, I got up, hit the button on the coffee pot, fed the cat and the dog, and turned on The Bill Bennett Show, which can be found here. I enjoy Bill’s show. He’s quiet, thoughtful and measured. But since it […]
Today, December 6, is the Feast of Saint Nicholas. When I was 12 and preparing for my Confirmation in the Roman Catholic Church, I chose St. Nicholas as my personal Saint. I distinctly remember why I chose the name: I liked it. Nicola. Long before it became so popular again, I thought it rang beautifully […]
Maybe I am behind the curve, but this is one of the loveliest pieces I’ve read in a while ~ it provokes and lifts at the same time. Remarkable. Best ~ HuntMode
I have had the loveliest day in a long time and just wanted to share the feeling. May has been a most turbulent month and I am delighted to close it with the invocation of Shabbat Shalom – “Peaceful Sabbath,” whichever day you celebrate it. Keep Oklahoma in your prayers.

Following up on yesterday’s post, I did attend Good Friday services last night. It is so different coming back as an adult, both comforting and disconcerting, like having a pebble in your shoe. I had read up to refresh my memory of the reasons, the symbols, the Liturgy, etc., and yet…. the reality is the […]
The other day I walked away from the DP Challenge: Tell us about a time you did a 180 — changed your views on something, reversed a decision, or acted in a way you ordinarily don’t. Ummm, 180 degrees? Got to be rare because I don’t recall any – oh! Wait, I do… It was […]
Shortly after 11:00 a.m. (11:07 a.m.) Pacific Coast time, white smoke rose from the Cardinals’ enclave on the fifth vote of the session, indicating they had chosen the new Pope. Then we waited until after 12:00, while behind the curtains much activity; the fitting of the Pope’s white vestments, the prayer and swearing by the […]
