Last night I kind of got caught up in the frenzy over the current disrespecting of the American Flag writing my article, "Many in the NFL are waging war on the American Flag". Now celebrities and even children are now getting into the act. I don't think most of them know what all this is really about? On June 14, 1923, or Flag Day, a federal code was put in place that would serve as a guideline for how to handle the American flag. This lead to Title 18: UNITED STATES CODE

Psalms 20:5, "May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!" Psalms 60.4, "Thou hast set up a banner for those who fear thee, to rally to it from the bow." The United States celebration of Flag Day (June 14) originally began in 1777, 240 years ago. June 14 is the birthday of 'Old Glory' which has had 26 design changes since the beginning. In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson made June 14 official

Like St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony was born into a wealthy family, he would give all that up to follow Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. From age 15, he would learn the impo

Deepertruth with special permission and aid with Franiciscan Media, a great team for the Lord Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, The Lord has always raised great faithful saints despite the background of each time. Living today, people can identify with corruption among clergy. Matthew 13: 24-30 Jesus gives this parable: He proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep

My day first began watching the Fox News Channel as they were getting ready for a speech coming from President Donald Trump at Arlington Cemetery and this was one great speech. I went out to our front yard and took a picture of statues I have by our flag posted there. I had previously talked with my wife who told me of one of her uncles who had been wounded in battle during WW II as did one of my uncles (Joe) who was bayoneted by a Japanese running upon him during a hand to

After nearly four years of college and then being in the work force, I caught one of those Army commercials calling us to be "All you can be in the Army". I made a dramatic career change that would change my life forever. I am so thankful that I was strong in my Catholic Faith before I signed up because I would be tested many times through out my Military life. So much so that I do not know how anyone can go though this without have faith! The foundation of the United Sta

Judas Iscariot betrayed Our Lord Jesus Christ with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15). After Judas committed suicide by hanging himself, the Apostles gathered together to replace him choosing between two Candidates, Joseph called Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias. St. Peter opened the casting of lots with this forward message, "So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and o

This past Thursday was Ascension Thursday, which will be celebrated at Divine Mercy here in Gardner Kansas on Sunday, so I will write about it today on Thursday. About three years previously, Jesus began his public Ministry with being baptized by St. John the Baptist. “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the pr

In Hebrew, (חג השבועות Hag haShavuot or Shevuot known as “the Feast of Weeks.” Pentecost also marks the 1988th birthday of the Catholic Faith.
