Last month I decided that I would not write any new posts decrying Donald Trump, nor his many heinous claims and accusations since his lies and hypocrisy are so numerous that recounting them is like shooting fish in a barrel. But with this latest Trump-mania, where we can actually hear Donald Trump admitting that he is…… Continue reading Trump Mania

Hillary Clinton Implicated in Four Mysterious Deaths In A Month
What fresh hell is this? – Dorothy Parker “Hillary Clinton is responsible for the suspicious deaths of four persons in the last month.” When I heard this statement coming out of the mouth of a college educated Christian woman, whom I thought I knew I was struck mute. She said that all four men died…… Continue reading Hillary Clinton Implicated in Four Mysterious Deaths In A Month
Know them by their Fruits
Matthew 7:16 Jesus said “You will know them by their fruits.” He gave us the litmus test so we would be able to discern a person’s motives, and know whether they are working for “the Kingdom of God on earth”.

WHY?
It was just a year ago that I sat in the passenger seat of our CRV looking through my tears as we sped down the Pennsylvania Turnpike on our way to New York to attend our daughter’s wedding. I was bereft of all feeling at a time when I should have been most joyful. We…… Continue reading WHY?

The Catholic Dilemma: Church Teachings on Procreation
I recently read Excerpts From the Synod’s Final Report published online Oct. 24, 2015 in CRUX, All things Catholic. I was very disappointed to read that there are no breakthroughs or even glimmers of light, regarding the issues that most affect the lives of American Catholics. Nothing on the horizon concerning: priests being allowed to…… Continue reading The Catholic Dilemma: Church Teachings on Procreation
