More Life Goals

I didn't hit my primary running goal of a 5K in under 30 mins but I did hit my secondary goal of a 5K with better than 10 min/mile. Thanks to Alpha and Omega Sports and the Tierra L. Dobry Foundation!

In Prison

Another great reminder that the we can take care of ourselves in any situation provided that mercy and compassion are still allowed.

The World Over Koontz

Wow. I never paid attention to the interviews on The World Over but Jen Fulwiler clued me into this great one with Dean Koontz. Kevin James is next!

Everyone Cycles

Can't forget the reality of the situation! Husbands have a cycle too!

Holy Priests, Batman!

May the Lords bless us with holy priests!

Natural Family Planning Week

Hey! NFP Week is coming up in July, if consulting my mental calendar is accurate. So maybe I should do some NFP stuff around here. After all, NFP led me to where I am now and I wouldn't go without it. Let's start with a quiz.

Which method of NFP is right for you?

Having been in the trenches for a while, I forget what people don't know. There are a variety of methods out there to fit your personality and attitude. The quiz is a good starting point. Try it out!

Summer Drawing Club

I've always wanted to learn to draw. It wasn't on the top of my goals for this year but Simcha is doing something cool so I'm in with my family.

Dispelling Myths

The Middle Ages are not what you have been led to believe!

Simple Idea

I love the power of simple ideas. Dynamic Catholic's parish book program might just be a miracle. I need to work to bring it to my parish.

Changing Minds

I've been curious about how other people change their minds on issues. It feels like a long time since I have changed my mind on an issue. Thanks to thinking with the Church, I feel that I get on the right side of the issue whenever one comes up. So I am intrigued to learn how people make about-faces on issues, hearing about John Lennon consistently surprises me. I never heard of Gavin McInnes before this article from LifeNews but it seems like marriage and children changed him; the same way it changed John Lennon. I suppose in the end it takes a dramatic event to really change someone's mind. I'm ever more thankful for my re-evangelization and I pray for all men to turn to the Lord.

Love the British

It's wonderful to see truthful reporting. Why does it seem that only Britain produces real journalists?

You Love Me; You Really Love Me

Looks like I won a Valentine's Day contest, thanks to the loving inspiration of my wife!

Gamer Parents

I like how this guys writes. Games are an important part of our humanity.

Of Fun and Funnel Cake

Publishing here with the Knights of Columbus.

Game Over, Man

I found this article thought-provoking. It is a healthy reminder that addiction can come in many forms and self-control must be practiced to be an effective human being. I guess that I have to put some limits on my Skyward Sword time.

Not religious liberty after all

An interesting and informed perspective on how the HHS mandate fight should not be about religious liberty but about forcing me to pay for someone's Class 1 carcinogens.

NFP Conference

 Wondering about all the hubbub over the HHS mandate? Curious about why every Catholic bishop in the U.S. is outraged? Come learn what the Church teaches about contraception at the PNFPN Annual Conference!

Business Advice

Great article on the Catholic Business Journal about how to care for your clients.

Still Writing

Just not in the blogosphere. Check out the latest at Phaith magazine.

Still Writing

So, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy with lots of things. I'm still writing but now I have an article that was sent to the entire Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Go read it at Phaith Magazine if you live far away. If you are in Philly, read Phaith Magazine when it hits your mailbox!
