Take Courage, My Friend

You remember the recent “Cash for Clunkers” auto bail-out program, where you traded in your old, but still useful, car for a new, more efficient model.
Well, President Obama and the Democratic congress is planning something similar in their, so called, health care reform. 
I think they should call it “Cash for Geezers”, as in old geezers, or [...]

If you do a Google News search for “Jesus and health care” your results will show dozens of articles where Democrats, both political and media types, are now professing their Christianity and  injecting Jesus into the health care debate by saying Jesus favors health care, Jesus would vote yes for public option, Jesus would prefer [...]

March 10th was the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers. I am so sorry I missed it, but I want to make up for my lack of attention to such an important occasion by offering my own thoughts on how to honor these humble and caring souls.
I do believe that abortionists have been under appreciated for far [...]

I am a scheduled adorer at the St. Catherine of Sienna Parish Adoration Chapel in Orange Park, Florida. At the sign-in table there is a prayer petition book for those desiring to add a special prayer request.

Euphemism-
  “An agreeable word (abortion) or expression substituted for one (in this case a picture-see below) that is potentially offensive… for example; The Nazis used euphemism in referring to their plan to murder the world’s Jews as ‘the Final Solution.’”

Taken from the American Heritage® New Dictionary [...]

So much outrage by so many over fewer than 100 criminal executions per year in the U.S.  
 
How many are silent, or don’t care, when it comes to the execution of the unborn? Where is the outrage for the 1.3 million babies killed in the womb each year in the U.S. and for the 46 million killed [...]

I wish you all the very best Merry Christmas.
It is time to give credit where credit is due. If there were no Christmas, there would be no Happy Holidays for there would be no holiday at all:  no time off work; no Christmas parades; no beautiful decorations, no family traditions, no glorious music, nothing to [...]

For you non-Catholics, have no fear, by reading this you will not have to become Catholic. However, you will [...]

(Now ladies, if you are going to read this, there is a message for  you at the bottom of the  post.)

A few days ago the New York Times, AP, and other news sources ran articles about a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) undercover operation at a West Virginia turkey farm, allegedly documenting cruelty to turkeys. They made a video and, if you are interested, you can find it on You Tube. Be warned, [...]
