Ashes, Flesh, and the Resurection

Every Ash Wednesday we hear the following words while a priest places ashes on our foreheads in the form of a cross: “Remember, man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.”  It was in the book of Genesis that we were told that man was created from the dust of the Earth and will ultimately return to dust.  (Genesis 3:19)

Too Sick and Lazy to Write

LazinessI haven’t been feeling well for the past couple of days.  I finished writing my meditation on the sin of sloth yesterday, and all I want to do right now is go home, take some Advil and decongestant, and get some sleep.  My head is clogged up, my eyes are watering, and I’m having chills.

Sloth – Failure To Do God’s Work

Do you know the first words of Jesus Christ that were recorded in the Bible?  His mother asked Him why He had not told her where He had been for three days, and the twelve-year-old Son of God responded, “How is it that you sought Me?  Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”  (Luke 2:49)

A Real Live Sister Act

Last Tuesday evening (October 16) while I was participating in a holy hour in a perpetual adoration chapel in Cleveland, Ohio, I learned that my second-biggest Adoration Letter fan was scheduled to have her leg amputated.  Georgette and I had arrived in Ohio on Monday evening for two days of meetings with a group of business owners who get together three times a year to share ideas and strategies for growing their businesses.

Is There Opportunity In Humiliation?

Over the past year I’ve gotten to know a young man who works at a local restaurant.  (For the purposes of this discussion, I’m going to call him Rusty.)  I see Rusty at least once a week when I pick up something to eat at the restaurant.  Rusty is a devout Christian.  He’s 36 years old, married, and has three children.  He works hard, is honest, has a good attitude, and appears to get along well with everyone he comes into contact with.

A Mother’s Day Bill of $262,080

Earlier this month, Georgette and I attended a recital for our five-year-old granddaughter Kathryn.  The recital was at a local church in Peoria and opened with six girls who were all the same age as our granddaughter.  The girls played their tiny violins with their teacher leading them.  Their performance lasted about three minutes and consisted of playing repetitive music exercises.

Let’s Make A Deal

When I was boy, there was a game show on television called “Let’s Make A Deal.”  On the show, a contestant was shown three curtains to choose from.  Behind one of the curtains, there was usually a gag prize such as a live mule or a bucket of dirt.  Behind the other two curtains were expenses prizes.  The object of the game was to choose one of the curtains that had prizes behind it.  After the contestant chose a curtain, the curtain was opened to reveal what the contestant won.

A Near Death By Suffocation

During my first two years in high school, I was on the wrestling team.  My win/lose record freshman year was 50/50.  I was what was commonly referred to in the wrestling world as a “fish” – someone who usually ended up on his back flopping around until his opponent finally completed the task of “pinning” him.
