    STATIC Solutions the 21st century Baltimore Catechism

    What the Baltimore Catechism was for the 19th Century STATIC is for the 21st Century – it recognizes the basic needs and capacities of the local community and provides a process that quite simply works. I give the STATIC program and STATIC Solutions, LLC my highest recommendation.

    To Whom This May Concern
    STATIC Programming is an excellent program and I believe that every parish should be utilizing each and every dimension. St. Theodore of Canterbury parish has been using the STATIC programming exclusively for our Middle School students since the fall of 2004. What began as a process to challenge our students to take on a more adult attitude regarding their own faith lives provided not only an exceptional experience with a sound theological foundation; rich biblical principles and fruitful interpersonal dynamics; it also challenged their parents and general parish as well.
    After over 30 years of experience working with adolescents and pre-adolescents I went looking for a Religious Education process or program that would not only keep these older students from becoming bored but that would encourage their unique process in faith formation and learning. STATIC Small Group provides the process that not only teaches the students more about understanding and living their faith but in a way that allows them to interact with the information and with one another. The STATIC Large Group activities, which is more of a youth group based activities, gives the students a place to be in faith while having fun and in the whole process learning more about their faith and how to live it. And the program doesn’t just stop there. The journals for each grade level and the exceptional three years Service Process the possibilities are endless.
    STATIC Solutions LLC continues to come out each year with new and innovative ideas such as newsletters, retreats and more I know that we will be able to provide a vital, nurturing program for decades to come. What the Baltimore Catechism was for the 19th Century STATIC is for the 21st Century – it recognizes the basic needs and capacities of the local community and provides a process that quite simply works. I give the STATIC program and STATIC Solutions, LLC my highest recommendation. I remain,
    Your Servant in Christ,

Can God Sin?

Question for you:
Can God Sin?
Seems like a silly question, and in away it is, but it is a question that a friend and I were talking about a week or so ago, and it hasn’t left me so I thought I would talk about it here. Once again the question is “Can God sin?”. Think [...]

Funny thing forgiveness…

Jesus has spoken many words that we all would love to hear from him, but I would venture to guess that the words “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” would have to be on top of our list. In that one simple statement Jesus summed up humanity and His relationship with [...]

Salvation is a hard road to walk

Have faith the size of a mustard seed and you can move a mountain. Everyone knows that line from the bible and we are often times told that. We are told to “Just have a little faith” and things will work out. Just trust in God and all will be good, we that is true, [...]

Politically correct, or is it Biblically correct?

“Neither shall you allege the example of the many as an excuse for doing wrong…” Ex23:2
In today’s politically correct world we are often times asked to join in with the crowed, to follow what the masses are saying, and for forsake ourselves and our faith. The bible tells us that we cannot do this that [...]

My God, My God… What Does it mean?

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, [...]

Top Ten list of the Church

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 [...]

Garden of the Soul

The roots of sin run deep in our hearts. Sin, the act of forsaking God, leaves a deep root system that can take years to remove from the garden of the soul.
We sin once, we lie or cheat, we disrespect our parents or our children. We leave a hole where once a flower of [...]

18 Words

How often do we say prayers, but don’t really mean them, or understand them? Think about Sunday Mass, we say the same prayers each week, but do we really stop to think about what we are saying? Take the simple prayer of “Lord I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word [...]

Sin, God and Us…

Sin is a four letter word, and one that we all seem to like to use. We seem to be drawn to what we know is bad for us, not only here on earth but also in the afterlife.

Why is that?

I could just say it’s not my fault, and blame it on my upbringing or my friends.

But [...]

I have seen the Face of God

I have seen the face of God, and I looked away….In this day and age where people are always questioning the existence of God, it is sometimes hard to find it in my heart to not look away from them, To turn my back and walk away. Who  wants their faith attacked? I don’t! I [...]
