I was able to bring Georgette home from St. Mary’s hospital last Monday (June 21). The trip took about 7 ½ hours. In order to keep her blood from clotting, we had to stop every 90 minutes so she could get out of the car and walk around. All things considered, she is doing very well. She’s not allowed to drive for 4 weeks and is forbidden from lifting anything heavier than a gallon of [...] Read More »

Last week I told you about the heart surgery that was scheduled for Georgette. Thanks to the prayers from an army of Christians, the surgery was successful and she is slowly recovering. The surgery was performed at St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, by Dr. Hartzell Schaff, a heart surgeon who is considered by many to be the top surgeon in the world for the type of heart surgery Georgette needed to have.

We didn’t realize [...] Read More »

There’s something that’s been going on for awhile that’s really starting to irritate me. The more I see it, the more irritated I get. I don’t remember when it started, but it’s been going on for a least at few years now.

What am I talking about? It’s all of those cups and jars that are sitting on countertops next to the cash registers (and at drive-thru windows) at businesses all over town. They’re there for [...] Read More »

The POWER To . . .

While attending Mass on Thursday of last week (March 25th), I wondered how many Catholics knew what day it was. Do you know what day March 25th was?

It was the Feast of the Annunciation, a day that really should be designated as a holy day of obligation for all Catholics. The Feast of the Annunciation is the day that we Catholics celebrate the Angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary that she was chosen to be the [...] Read More »

An Invisible Barrier to the Exercise of Free Will

One of the fundamental concepts taught by the Catholic Church is that God gave each of us a “free will” to do whatever we choose to do and that He will not (and does not) force us to do anything.

Webster’s Dictionary defines “free will” as “freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention.” This definition refers to choices rather than actions which I believe is the [...] Read More »

Prayer In A Bottle

Last week, on Christmas Eve morning, David Myers, the 21 year old son of one of our weekly adorers, Ceil Myers, died as a result of an auto accident. David was home from college for the holidays. He was due to graduate from college this coming semester, and scheduled to begin medical school in the fall.

There is rarely a time when there is greater suffering then when a loved one is unexpectedly taken from you, [...] Read More »
