Happy Birthday to Us - Pentecost Sunday
By Jeffrey Battiston
On Sunday May 24, we will celebrate Pentecost Sunday. The day we remember the Holy Spirit coming down into the world and into our hearts. The feast that we celebrate is considered by many to be the birthday of the Church, and for good reason. An amazing miracle took place that day; the miracle of the establishment of the Church itself.

My Cup Overflows
My Cup Overflows
By Veronica Dannemiller
Have you ever heard of the saying, “Don't cry over spilled milk”? I'm betting you have...but what does it mean? People use it to say 'don't waste your time over something so small that can't even be undone.' But could it mean more than that?

My Mother's Day Paradox: I Can't Wait for It to End
My Mother's Day Paradox: I Can't Wait for It to End
By Larry Peterson
Mother's Day is here again and, I have to tell you, it is not my favorite day. Please do not misunderstand, I certainly have nothing against Moms. Heck, my wife was a mom, my sister is a mom, my daughter is a mom and I have nieces who are moms and so on. I know thousands of Moms and, for the most part, I love and respect them all.

Compassion Always, Compromise Never: Why Spokane's New Bishop Will Be Great
Compassion Always, Compromise Never: Why Spokane's New Bishop Will Be Great
By Matthew Sewell
The Diocese of Spokane received its new shepherd, Bishop Thomas Anthony Daly of San José, California, a couple months ago, and for me it was like an early Christmas present. Not having a bishop for all of Lent and the better part of 4 months was a bit of a bummer, so the long-awaited news was like music to my ears for more than just that reason. It will be especially great when Bishop Daly is fina

To the Mother of Freddie Gray
To the Mother of Freddie Gray
By Dawn Wright
I won’t pretend to understand your life, because I know I have no clue. I take for granted the safety and security of suburbia, our good schools, and our quiet neighborhood. I have no idea what it takes to raise kids in Baltimore. I know my situation is different and my experience is different, and I won’t insult you by saying something like, “I can only imagine,” because I can’t

A Call To Unity
A Call To Unity
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Love, forgiveness, peace, unity and mercy are all common beliefs and teachings which set the Christian faith apart from other beliefs and religions. However, confined within the different denominations of the Christian faith are small ‘civil wars’ which divide the believers in Jesus Christ as opposed to bringing them together in unity.

Game of Faith
Game of Faith
By Shawn Roche

"I Am Home!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
What wonderful thoughts and feelings which comes with those words. “I am Home.” We just arrived at 4 AM this early morning after 570 miles drive coming back from Texas. If you remember in one of my recent blogs, I shared the story of being in a car accident that totaled my car. An ongoing story that I said would be continued as I tell of the wonders that would be worked from this event.

"Same-Sex "Marriage": The Great Illusion of the Modern, Secularist Era:
By Larry Peterson
The United States Supreme Court has now heard the arguments for and against "gay- marriage". Now we wait to see what the almighty Justices have decided. We will not hear the decision until sometime during the early days of summer. As for me, I do not get it. No sirree, this does NOT make sense to me.

Is Suffering Insufferable?
Is Suffering Insufferable?
By David R. Myers
People who question God’s existence often express their main point of contention as follows: how could an all-loving God permit suffering? And this is almost always followed by tragic examples. Wars. Famine. Cruelty. Sick crimes against defenseless people. And not only atheists and agnostics ask these questions. So do believers. Questions about suffering are very valid and very real.

The Courage to Carry the Cross
The Courage to Carry the Cross
By Chris Hazell
An incredible amount of courage is required to pick up the cross, swing it up on your shoulder and start trudging forward. It’s the hardest thing this life has to offer. When I read the Gospel, I’m always struck when I hear these words: “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”
