I am always amazed at my own blindness to what I say I believe when my life is flooded with fear. I don’t just talk about this in the “big problems” of my life. That’s too easy to see. No, I’m talking about those everyday challenges that flood my moments with a hypocrisy that really…

Most of the time I feel pressed for time. A confession – I am addicted to saying “yes” to offers, invitations, and projects! I do this so often that my wife has to remind me that, as of now, I do not have the gift of bi-location! Because of this addiction, I frequently find myself…

There is a joy in recalling those moments in life when something was told to you, or some example was given to you, or something happened to you to “turn the light on” in your heart or mind. One such instance came when our merry band of spiritual seekers were working our way to the…

Today we celebrate the destruction of mortality by holding high the vehicle if our Lord's execution. We do this to make an open spectacle of His total victory over humanity's enemies Forever! We do this also to completely BANISH the FALSE notion that our lives can be compartmentalized into the physical and the spiritual. Jesus saves us…
