Religious Education: How Much Is Too Much?

May 15 Religious Education: How Much Is Too Much?

My second son is making his First Holy Communion this coming Saturday.  For many parents, the preparation for this momentous occasion is not actually all that involved.  For us though, it’s a little nerve wracking.  For one thing, we homeschool, even/especially for religious education, so preparing our children to receive their Sacraments is one of those times when we lose some of that...

Sandy Hook: Find Real Closure in Jesus Christ

May 11 Sandy Hook: Find Real Closure in Jesus Christ

I watched in horror with countless others across America as the events of Sandy Hook unfolded. Though I can’t understand first hand what they are going through, I can relate to the students who must return to or attend Sandy Hook for the first time this fall. A year before I graduated high school, the location of my college seminary, Conception Abbey in northwest Missouri, was shot up by a...

***Arms Trade Fire Sale*** Everything Must Go!!!

May 10 ***Arms Trade Fire Sale***  Everything Must Go!!!

Guns, guns, guns.  What more is there to be said about guns? While perusing the news I discovered the following article at Yahoo News about Russia selling weapons to Syria. Israel warned the United States in recent days that Russia plans to sell advanced ground-to-air missile systems to Syria despite Western pressure on Moscow to hold off on such a move, the Wall Street Journal reported on...
