Someone recently asked me how they could help given my current rough state of mind.

Pray.

Pray that I can secure a few displays for The Project. Because no matter what is going on in my life. Serving the Lord is the best way to help. It allows me to focus on following Christ and I can turn what I’m doing into an active prayer.

Pray that parishes reach out to me about doing displays. This is the major source of my frustration. I’m living in a time where parishes don’t want to make the kind of com…

It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte once threatened a Catholic Cardinal by saying: “Your Eminence, are you not aware that I have the power to destroy the Catholic Church?” To which the cardinal replied: “Your Majesty, we Catholic clergy have done our best to destroy the Church for the last eighteen hundred years. We have not succeeded, and neither will you.”

Whether true or not this anecdote reminds us that Hell has infiltrated the Catholic Church and has never won. Hell was utterly defeated on t…

Yesterday I found out that someone I’ve known for nearly forty-five years of my life passed. She had been in ill health for some time and sadly those health issues caught up to her. She is the mother of a friend who is pretty much my little sister to me. Despite the fact that I’m older by only a few weeks.

Bonnie was a force to be reckoned with. She was someone who had strong opinions and didn’t tolerate much bull from anyone. She did what she could to raise her children. Sometimes when I visi…
