“It’s seven O’clock; do you know where your child is?” Do you remember that public service announcement? It use to be on TV all the time, I think back in the 1970’s or so. I remember it because I was young and thought I was being very smart and funny by responding to the TV [...]

My God, My God why have you forsaken me? (Mark 15:34; Matthew 27:46)
We all have heard this line; we have seen it in the movies and heard it in Church. And most of us think we understand it, to us, we use it to show that Jesus also felt that God had forsaken him also, [...]

When you wake up and start your day, is it “Good Morning God…” or “Good God! It’s morning!…”
Silly question I know, but one that can truly change your outlook on the whole day, well truly on the whole world. How you decide to start your day will determine how your day goes.
In truth you [...]

What gives use value? Is it our jobs, family or maybe it’s what we own? Could it be our homes our cars or is it how we dress? Maybe it comes from who we know, where we hang out or what we wear. What gives us value? What makes us Human, what makes us different [...]

You ever notice that people really like top ten lists or just list in general. I think it’s because we really don’t have to think a lot about a list, it’s pretty straight forward, you have a list, and it’s in order from lowest to highest. Someone has done the work for you; all you [...]

Connection…Collaboration….Co-creating….
Three words that will bring you closer to God, three words that very well could change your life. We all wish for a deeper relationship with God, we all want that personal relationship with Jesus. But in truth how do we achieve this? What do we need and where do we start?

To whom do we owe our lives? As a Christian and Catholic I would say I owe my life to Christ, but what about the world around me? My family, my friends and humanity as a whole, do I owe them my life?

You ever have someone read you completely wrong, or at least you think they are. I have it happen all the time; people take my humor as reality. I have a very sarcastic humor and somewhat dry, so they have trouble reading me. It drives me crazy, sometimes I feel I need a sign around [...]
