The Last Race
I got a call from my mother this afternoon. Everyone else in the house was asleep and I was laying down browsing around on the computer. I’ve been using a freeware bible study program called eSword for a time and I just upgraded to a

Angel in the Car
With the recent economic downturn coupled with rising gas prices, the recent warm weather, and my quest to drop a few pounds for the summer, I’ve started walking to work each day with a bag lunch in hand. I still drive the little one to

March 3, 2008 – Resurrection revelation
Every week I take part in a small faith sharing group with a few other men. We usually take a look at and read the scheduled Scripture readings from the upcoming Sunday Mass. Peppered in between each reading, we discuss ideas and questions that we
Lent 2008 – Pink slip
Before getting into this entry, I need to make a few points. – My intention was to post all of my experiences that pre-dated this blog before moving on to new occurrences which occurred after I created the blog. I am still going to do
