Out of the Mouths of Babes: "I already did!"
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
After another night in which our toddler cried, tugging at his ears, our family doctor recommended we take him to an ear specialist. Stunned by the results of the ear examination, we heard the news that our son had two punctured ear drums.

Playing with Fire: Our Dangerous Game
Playing with Fire: Our Dangerous Game
By Greg Schlueter
Our dangerous game. It took place during those drought weeks at the end of summer. We were middle school boys. Restless. Adventurous.

Our Christian Duty
Our Christian Duty
By Patti J. Mitchell
Elections are upon us. I don’t know about you, but to me, it feels as if I’ve been holding my breath … waiting for the end of the current administration. Our nation has disintegrated into a state of chaos, immorality and divisiveness thanks to our local, state and national leaders. But who put them there?

Out of the Mouths of Babes: "My Mommy said to say, ‘Thank you.'"
Out of the Mouths of Babes: "My Mommy said to say, ‘Thank you.'"
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
When our children were young and my husband was the only one earning a fulltime income, our kindergarten-aged daughter was eligible for a reduced lunch. To say we penny-pinched was no exaggeration. Every penny was accounted for. Period. If I bought myself a pack of gum (which I chewed a lot of then), I felt guilty.

When Government Becomes The Religion
When Government Becomes The Religion
By Deacon Vernon Dobelmann
Being a good steward of what God has entrusted to our care is important. We are challenged to give generously of our time, talent, and our treasure. Biblical teachings on tithing have most likely been part of our education and formation as well. We are called to not only follow the Ten Commandments, but to live out the Spiritual & Corporal Works of Mercy in the spirit of the beatitudes.

The Prophetic Voice of Humanae Vitae
The Prophetic Voice of Humanae Vitae
By Deacon Vernon Dobelmann
Watching the folks from NARAL flip out over the Doritos commercial during the Super Bowl is a sure sign that the pro-life message is being heard and that the scientific proof offered by an ultrasound machine is indisputable. Who could have known that a commercial for a snack would evoke such a visceral response? NARAL has accused Doritos of humanizing the fetus. What has become of our culture?

The Pope Should Stay out of Politics!?
The Pope Should Stay out of Politics!?
By David R. Myers
As no doubt everyone except perhaps an ice bound Eskimo is aware, Pope Francis just finished a visit to Mexico. As part of this, he came to El Paso, Texas, to celebrate Mass. El Paso is the largest city in Texas which sits on the border with Mexico, so from a strategic standpoint it made sense that this was the location the Holy Father chose.

The Pope and Politics....
The Pope and Politics....
By Steve Reasbeck
You know, I heard a long time ago that one shouldn’t mix religion in politics. I don’t want, nor do I normally speak on American politics. Neither party is truly representative of Catholic teachings, and none follow it very closely. That is to be expected.

The Pope, Donald Trump and Building a Wall

The Pope speaks and almost inevitably there is controversy. But amid all the responses, analysis and photos of the wall that surrounds Vatican City posted to Twitter, one should take a moment to ask … what did the Pope actually say and is it really all that controversial? Let’s take a look.

The First Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection on "Washing one's hands" and Condemning
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
After paying my respects to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament in whichever church I enter, whenever possible, my next steps are directed toward the Stations of the Cross. One of the bonuses of so many years of Coast-to-Coast USA business travel was getting to see so many different artistic renditions of the fourteen Stations of the Cross.
