Musings of a Catholic Deacon
Alright, so I have two projects going at the same time, and I am hoping to fuse them together into one. I could use your thoughts! First: I desire to bring content you find useful and at least mildly entertaining. What do you want more of in my writing on the blog? Tidbit facts? Life... Continue Reading →
Short Story: On the email promoting this post, there should be a link to manage your subscription. Please edit to receive daily or weekly as you prefer so I don't swamp your email inbox with old stuff! Long Story: So per request of some of the followers of the blog, I tried to upload old...

You might think being invited to a BBQ is a special treat, a chance to relax and hang out. Alas, it is not always so. I was grilling up some chicken over at the rectory with my priests, deacons, and some friends, and we had a lovely time. Then, a few days later, I get... Continue Reading →
My priest gave a homily for me yesterday. I think it was very nice of him to take the time to write just for me. He does that a lot, because he's a really nice guy. Here was the gist in one shot: Are you wanting food, so asking Jesus for it, or are you... Continue Reading →

This weekend, we enter into that most holy of times as we begin to celebrate the fullness of the paschal mystery, living through Christ’s passion, death and resurrection. At Palm Sunday, we remember that we stand beside all those who seek to end Christ’s life through our own sin, as we too cry out, “Crucify... Continue Reading →
I am not exactly…..dainty…. I’m loud, a bit brash, and I am generally really rough on things. However, I am also really sentimental, and have a tendency to really hold on to stuff. I like nice, simple things, and I like them to last forever so I never have to buy it again. I also... Continue Reading →
