I recently saw a comment about how dads in blogdom frequently don’t focus there blogs as much on family life as mom blogs.
I would say, on average, this is true - though there are some exceptions.
The implication is that the difference is negative, at least in terms of the commenter’s reading preferences. In terms […]

Today’s reading for morning prayers had a bible passage that is particularly relevant for Christians who blog, participate in online groups, or post comments. Read it. Take it to heart.
Ephesians 4:29-32
Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them. Do […]
I have been very light on the posting lately. There isn’t a single strong reason. I have been enjoying family over the holidays. I started some classes and that is taking up time. I have been worried about business, and that generally takes away from my motivation to write.
I also have not had anything to […]
Dom Bettinelli tagged me with the AFI Top 100 movies meme. I am supposed to peruse the list and make judgments about the movies therein. I have seen a lot, but not all of these -especially some of the very old ones. Well, here are my answers:
Your favorite five movies that are […]

I have received the most unexpected compliment. Christina at Confessions of a Hot Carmel Sundae nominated me for the Nice Matters award. I have not thought of myself as nice - in fact, I struggle with what I think about other people. Maybe that struggle comes out in a postive way in some of my […]
Che over at Secrets of the Spirit of Vatican 2 tagged me with this blogger quiz.
1. Do you attend the Traditional Latin Mass or the Novus Ordo?Novus Ordo. I would like to go to the Extraordinary Form sometime, and hope that it becomes wide spread, but alas, I have not.
2. If you attend the […]
Deb at UKOK’s Place (one of those blogs that made it into my Google reader) nominated me for the Mathetes Award.
Here’s a quote from the orignal blog post explaining the award….
“Mathetes is the Greek word for disciple, and the role of the disciple (per the Great Commission) it to make more disciples. I’d like to […]
I started this blog a year ago with a post about St. Ignatius of Loyola. St. Ignatius is one ofmy favorite saints. His desire to do God’s will, and how he continuously sought God’s will, moved forward with what he thought was best, but he was open to changes in direction. […]
The Catholic Carnival is up at:
Living Catholicism: Catholic Carnival 129: Prayer . . . and Spring Break
Be sure to check it out!
The Catholic Carnival is up at Book Reviews and More. This was my first contribution to the effort (though I had been meaning to participate for some time). My own contribution was my article on our modern day Nehemiah and Ezra.
I read a post on Stephen Bainbridge’s site about Cardinal Mahoney and a report by the LA Times.
This article is about how Cardinal Mahoney should resign because, according to an LA Times article, Cardinal Mahoney had allegedly said two different things in regards to an abuse case. As one of the commenters pointed out, the […]
OK, there are eight of us so far and eight is enough. Enough for charter membership. Here are the dads that have stepped up:

Some of the guys online were duking it out about masculinity in the Catholic blogosphere - I am not so interested in that debate, but I have noticed that while there is a substantial community of Catholic Mom blogs (many are quite good), there isn’t really any cohesion for us dads. So I wanted to […]
Hi Folks! I am updating the look and feel of the blog. Please excuse any dust. Let me know what you think.
Standing on My Head: The Tightrope of Tolerance and Tyranny
Father Dwight Longenecker has an outstanding blog. He is a Catholic priest, converted to Catholicism when he was an Anglican priest. His blog is fabulous. Check this post out. Definitely worth adding to your blog list.

Last night I was reading my Bible. I was looking for a little peace because this week has been pretty tough, and next week looks to be the same. I have been reading 1 Corinthians, and came to chapter 13. This is the beautiful passage describing what love […]
Please pray that our parish festival is a success this weekend. Successful in building community and in providing the parish with the needed resources. Look for a few photos - but I may not post tomorrow with all of the excitement.
