My dad was not Catholic. In fact, several years ago he became a Lutheran, which was his mother's faith. But he asked me questions about Catholicism all the time. He read the Bible and prayed every day. He watched any preacher that was on tv. Lord have mercy on him.

I explained to my children over the weekend that my wife and I plan to be a burden on them in our old age. They seemed cool with it.

Can you even imagine paying Ivy League tuition to sit at home on your computer?

May I ask your prayers for my father-in-law, Calvin? Over the last 2 months he has almost completely lost his ability to walk. He is going in for major spine surgery this afternoon at 4pm Eastern.

I recently heard that seminarians and young priests are still routinely told to "keep their heads down." Not humility, but careerism. If you are chosen to lead God's people, do it boldly, in the strength of Christ. Heads UP! (You will make mistakes.)
