New Year's Resolutions 2016
New Year's Resolutions 2016
By Mike Bugal
By the time this is published we will already be a week or two into the New Year. I hope everyone had a safe and sane New Year’s Eve, which Dick Clark failed to take with him on his departure. The end of one year or decade or millennium is always a time for reflection on what has passed and hopes for the future.

What is St. Paul saying in Romans 7:25?
What is St. Paul saying in Romans 7:25?
By De Maria

Stop asking how
Stop asking how
By Robert LaFleur
Reading a book, I came across this; Too often we let how will God, get in the way of what God wants us to do. WE can't figure out how to do what God has called us to do, so we don't do it at all. Let God figure out the how.

"A" Is For "Asinine"
"A" Is For "Asinine"
By Nicholas LaBanca
I hope that the title doesn't offend... oh who am I kidding. I've never been one to be politically correct. Webster's dictionary defines asinine as: "extremely or utterly foolish". I think that pretty much sums up the Freedom From Religion Foundation's (FFRF) constant attempts to subvert the Christmas holiday by putting their giant atheist "A" next to Christmas and Hanukkah displays

Selling Our Soul
Selling Our Soul
By Richard Maffeo

Wonder and Faith
Wonder and Faith
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Wonder and faith - can the two be separated? Wonder: the uncorrupted sense of awe, delight, surprise, astonishment...something completely and totally inspired by something other, outside self, worthy of adoration. This is where faith begins, I think;it's absence where faith begins to die.

Revolutions: Seen and Unseen
Revolutions: Seen and Unseen
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Revolution. We think of uprisings, upheavals, often political like the American and French Revolutions. Of the earth's rotation around the sun or of Mary's reply to Elizabeth's "And why am I so favored that the mother of our Lord should come to me?" Not so much. Or never.
