    Unsolved Mysteries

    Season 7 Episode 183 Unsolved Mysteries What is it to these wonderful mysteries of our faith that we embrace as foundational ground stones of our belief, why would we continue to seek an understanding for something that has been deemed a mystery and accepted as a mystery for thousands and thousands of years? Why do we keep going back to the spring of knowledge and understanding when there are scores of others who cannot know, understand, or define?

    When the Music Stops and the Dance is Done

    Season 7 Epiosde 182 When the Music Stops and the Dance is Done You are dancing with your partner to your favorite song when the music stops and the dancefloor disappears. Does the dance make sense anymore? With no beat to synchronize your steps, is it a dance with meaning anymore? I'd say not. It becomes awkward movements to a song that doesn't exist and none of it matters: not the rhythm, the flow, the grand crescendo, nor the big dip at the end. When the world goes away, or our time in it – when the music stops and the dancefloor goes away – when you are faced with the heavenly notions of God, do you expect to be doing the same things you were doing on this earth?

    These Problems and the Pain they Cause

    Season 7 Episode 181 These Problems and the Pain they Cause There is a recurring problem in the world and its one that we don't particularly enjoy dealing with it and its as CS Lewis puts it: the problem of pain. Everywhere we look we see suffering and agonizing through the trials of life and we see folks who carry heavy, heavy loads – some that are so heavy we wonder how they are not crushed under the weight of it. Pain comes in many different shapes and sizes and it does not discriminate to whom or when it rears its ugly head, but come to us it does, often in such a way that it makes little sense of the who, what, when, where, or why of things.

    Cease and Desist

    Season 7 Episode 178 Cease and Desist! There are many: MANY who would love to silence the Word of God in this world; who would like us – you and me – to not mention the name of Jesus, the promise of Salvation, the victory over death, or any of the amazing miracles of a life lived in Christ. Many who would have us tried and slapped with a mandate to cease and desist our Christian belief and practice. What is to become us?

    These Men - These Priests

    Season 7 Episode 178 These Men - These Priests In an otherwise dark world, the priest is the light of Christ that cuts through the darkness, chasing the shadows and bathing the world in the truth and hope of Jesus. We must pray that they hear His call daily and stay the path and stay the course, lest he go astray – which is always a great tragedy when there is one less priest to afford us the blessed Eucharist. Pray for priest and pray for those discerning vocations.

    What Has God Done for You?

    Season 7 Episode 177 What Has God Done for You? "Do you realize what I have done for you?" That line says so much by asking all of us a big, big question. "Do you realize what I have done for you?" I think THAT is the question that should be in our hearts and on our minds when we awaken on Easter Morning. We should meditate on that and bake that into our prayers daily and then spend our lives answering that question – or trying to answer that question.

    Dry Bones Come to Life

    Many fall asleep in faith and many die. Still living, but spiritually and faithfully asleep. Going through the motions, not really sure and not really unsure of what it is their faith has in their life. Not completely engaged with their faith; going through the motions, existing. Those who die to their faith quit; as a dead man: unable to move; unable to be. Listless and without response. What does it take to awaken the sleeping and the dead.
