Thursday February 5, 2009: I will begin this thread just before I fly because of a couple of things I want to report.

She has had a great many questions so I encouraged her to come on Wed nights to a presentation I was giving the past two weeks. She was at the past two event

It was a hot dry morning in July at Joint Security Station Sadr City Iraq. I had spent the morning ensuring that Sick Call ran smoothly and all our contemporary missions were being maintained. I made the decision to run by the gym to do some "military press" lifting about 180 pounds 25 times over my head. As I arrived into the workout area there was another Soldier from A Company who was already doing some bench work. I struck up a conversation with him talking about w

It was a Tuesday, March 20,2007 At Joint Security Station Sadr City, another miracle took place today as we received wounded soldiers at the Troop Medical Clinic (TMC). They were hit by sniper fire, after discovering a major IED that would have done much damage. The enemy planned to detonate the IED and then shoot at the first responders. Because they didn't use the IED (it was blown up by us with no one hurt, the soldiers that were wounded will survive and be fine. Everyth

St. Paul Street Evangelization is a great Catholic outlet promoting the Catholic Faith. If you have a group within your parish, I encourage you to become involved. The opportunity to learn more about our holy Faith is great. Adam Jake, a program director for St. Paul Street Evangelization (SPSE), told Catholic News Agency (CNA) Kevin Jones, February 12, 2014 "St. Paul Street Evangelization has grown to more than 100 different teams in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Denmark

Recently, a friend sent me a request to post an article asking, "I'd like to see you do a post on the issue that same website brings up about a crisis in Catholic apologetics". In virtue of our Baptism and confirmation, all Catholics are called to be "Apologists" in some form beginning with parents. The family is the most important foundation that children are raised.
