Being Under Satan’s Yoke (BUSY)
Posted by:
Do you always feel like you are running late, falling behind, or rushing around like a chicken with your head cut off? If so you are not alone. My wife and I feel like this on a regular basis, especially around the end of the year. A popular Catholic speaker, Jesse Romero, likes to remind people that being busy is not necessarily a good thing. He points out that the letters which make up the word are a great way ...

Practical Discipline
Posted by:
We live in a society where discipline is not viewed in a positive light. Many parents think that it is better to be their child’s best friend instead. The results have been a society of immature adults. If you are interested in my thoughts on why discipline is so important for our children, our society and the future of our world, please check my article entitled “Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child”.

Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child
Posted by:
Our society has become a society of children, there is ample evidence to back up my claim. Think about how a child acts, they have a short attention span, they easily change their mind, they see something in the checkout line at the grocery store and 
they want to buy it. If a child doesn’t get their way, they ...

Raising a Holy Family
The importance of being engaged in family life is key to raising a holy family. Our goal as parents should be to raise saints, also known as holy people, that will one day make it to heaven. On a more practical/secular level, we want to raise children that make good moral decisions, make good grades, and lead successful lives. Like it or not, we as parents are the people who have the most influence over our children. No one can take ...

Joy in the Midst of Suffering

We are a Joyful People
We are called to be a joyful people, not because we are always happy or that things always go our way, but because we are children of God and He loves us with a never ending love. Christians in the early Church had great joy and that joy was infectious, people were compelled to become Christians because of their love even though being a Christian meant that your life could be in danger. Love is expressed ...
