It has been a while since I posted a picture, and this one was far too cute to pass up.
Today is the feast of the Assumption. This is the day we celebrate when the Blessed Mother was assumed into heaven.
Almighty and everlasting God,
You have taken up body and soul
into the heavenly glory the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Your Son: Grant, we beseech You,
that, ever intent upon heavenly things,
we may be worthy to be [...]
My family went to Pismo beach (we go every year or two). I always end up with awesome pictures. I will be releasing a few of these to the site – the ones I like best. This first one is of a vivid sky reflected in the water on the shore as the waves role [...]

I just finished making a new salsa for sharing with family today. You want to try this one. It has a nice kick to it. This one pairs nicely with chips and Mexican beer, or margaritas, or lemonade (should you be pregnant like my wife). I share [...]

I was speaking with a friend last night about the reasons why we do things. He made the point that we are called to do all things in the Lord. He pointed out that in doing so it sometimes seems as if we are motivated simply to store up rewards [...]

It’s about 85 degrees where I am today, though it feels hotter. I wish I was down in Newport Beach where I took this picture. It’s supposed to be 79 degrees there today, and with that cool Pacific to dive into, it would be a sweet place to [...]

I was praying as I was driving the other day. It was in a back road on a hill with a beautiful view. I am not sure why the pavement at the edge of the road drew my attention, besides the obvious reason of staying away from the [...]

I am not exactly sure why I like this image. I think it is the way she is looking at something you can’t see. I want to know what she is seeing and what she is thinking. Imho, her face has that look like the Mona [...]
