Here is a quote from the AP concerning a talk that Pope Francis gave recently: VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has denounced the global financial system, blasting the “cult of money” that he says is tyrannizing the poor and turning humans into expendable consumer goods. In his first major speech on the subject, Francis demanded Thursday that […]
Geek goodness is a singing astronaut
My geeky juices are flowing at watching this video. And, what do you know? The astronaut even has a good singing voice. So, this is a good time to remind you that Doxacon, (where Faith and Truth meet Science Fiction and Fantasy) the Orthodox “geek” convention sponsored by an Orthodox parish, will be coming in […]
The IRS wants you — to behave
I have no long comment to make about the IRS. The comments are certainly being made by every news organization. What I find interesting are the groups from the other side that are now coming out and saying that they, too, believe that they have been audited for political purposes in the recent past. The […]
Stick & Stones … Words will never hurt me.
As a priest, I hear confessions. In fact, I hear confessions all the time, not simply when I am officiating the formal Sacrament. But, many times when people think that they are confessing to God, they are really telling me of an event in their lives that continues to cause them pain. That is, they […]

Drones, a month, bombs, and a 180 degree turn in opinion
From Fox News on 07 March 2013: Sen. Rand Paul declared victory Thursday after Attorney General Eric Holder assured him that the president cannot use a drone to kill a non-combatant American on U.S. soil — an assurance Paul had sought during his 13-hour filibuster the day before. … Paul told Fox News the critical […]
George Beverly Shea – Memory Eternal
George Beverly Shea went to meet the Lord whom he would rather have than silver or gold, than riches untold, than houses or land. He died this past Tuesday at 104 having served the Lord for many decades as part of the Billy Graham team. Yet, he was not often as acceptable to all as […]
Lord when did we see you — Grace and the Boston Marathon
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was […]
