Speak Up, Not Down!
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
The term "forked tongue" need not always connote duplicity; it may connote speech options. The tongue may curse or bless. It may engage in gossip, or charitably redirect such conversation. It may take God's name in vain or call upon God in humble prayer.

What's It Worth?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
In one single hour in the United States, more steel is poured than all the gold ever mined in the history of mankind! If all gold ceased to exist, it wouldn't cause any drastic change in our society. But if steel suddenly ceased to exist, our entire society would collapse, with its machinery, its buildings, its cars, its bridges, its entire infrastructure.
