Can you imagine?
Some in our country love to point us back to the Bible upon which they say our nation was founded. Here’s a direct quote from the Bible that might not sell well with some of these same folks. Every seventh year you shall grant a remission of debts. And this is the manner of the … Read more
He who is without sin..
We are surrounded by scandal. It’s all over the news and the pundits are having a field day. Lately it’s been Mark Sanford and John Ensign. Before that it was Larry Craig and Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton and the list goes on. Politicians have been trying to score points by claiming family values and the … Read more
Taste of Buffalo
Today I made it to the Taste of Buffalo for the first time in my life thanks to my daughter. She’s working in Buffalo now and living close by and thanks to her invitation I actually ventured into the big city to taste some of the hundreds of different items there were to sample from … Read more
Sun Day
The sun is shining here today. We haven’t seen much of it this summer. Last night on my way home from South Dayton I drove through blinding rain. It was very difficult to see at times. Today, is a lovely though, not a cloud in the sky. I’ve been writing curriculum and lesson plans for … Read more

I felt a need to write and discovered that I can write and some like my sister and son believe that I should continue. It’s been an interesting and informative way for … Read more
The least
I read this morning about an engaging young lady who will graduate from Notre Dame University today. She’s Brennan Bollman, and she’s this year’s Valedictorian. She’s got a 4.0 and more than that she’s focused like a laser beam on Catholic Social Teaching and the Gospel. I first learned of her earlier today from an … Read more
Along the Erie Canal
I took a fairly long day trip today after Mass at Mt. Irenaeus and eventually I made my way to the edge of the Erie Canal near Bushnell’s Basin just east of the Village of Pittsford, New York. It was a beautiful day as temperatures reached the high sixties and many folks were either jogging, … Read more
