Vaccinations – Again
With the current news articles asking, “What will it take to get people vaccinated”, I thought now would be a good time to readdress this topic. It is obvious from reading the articles on main stream media, that they are beating the drum to get to 100% vaccination. One article stated that vaccinations have dropped…

Reflections on the Sorrowful Mysteries
With this being holy week, building up to the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, I am reflecting on the five sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. These mysteries focus on the death of Jesus. As I think about the last week of Jesus’ life, I wonder if I could follow him to the cross. And…

COVID Craziness
Where has all the logic gone I have seen posts that state that logical folks are not okay right now. And for good reason. If you look at a lot of the COVID guidance logically, you will find lots of problems. Why is that the case? I think I have an idea of a couple…

Non Partisan Political Stance
Living Wage President Elect Joe Biden has reportedly hinted at an early increase in minimum wage, with the goal being to provide a living wage. This seems like a good time to publish this post that I have been sitting on for a while. Everybody is in favor of a living wage. This should be…
