There is none better than Faustina Academy in Irving, Texas. Remember, it is far easier to build children than to repair men. And, CLICK HERE for a good article on the founder (it starts on page 17).

More on “gay marriage”

Fri, 11 May 2012 08:34:00 -0500

How interesting is this? One of those ironies of history that a Mormon nominee is defending traditional marriage and the "Christian" president is attacking it.

Way to go North Carolina.

I can’t figure out why this “gay” student should get a scholarship at at Catholic school? He’s not following Church teaching!

What’s the third commandment? Do you follow it? Really????

Great note on car

Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:48:38 -0500

As some of you know, the license plate on my car is “Prolife.” How I got that, I’ll never know, but I’m thrilled to have it.

In any event, it is, as you can imagine, often acknowledged. Most of the acknowledgments are “thumbs up,” but I also get the occasional middle finger.

Well, this note was put on my car in the DFW airport parking low. Wow. I’ve never gotten one like this before. Needless to say, it made my day.

The Department Of Defense briefed President Obama this morning, and told him that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's surprise, all the color drained from the President’s face.

Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.

Finally, he composed himself and asked, “Just how many is a brazilian?”

This is especially tragic since he obviously has no understanding of a trillion either.

New York lawyer in Texas

Sun, 1 Apr 2012 09:00:04 -0500

A New York lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy in Texas. The lawyer thinks he is smarter than the deputy because he is both from New York and a lawyer, and, of course has a much better education than any cop from Texas. He thus decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Texas deputy’s expense.

The deputy says, “License and registration, please.”

“What for?” says the lawyer.

The deputy says, “You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

The lawyer answers, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

“You still didn’t come to a complete stop,” says the deputy, “license and registration, please.”

The lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”

“The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!” the Deputy repeats.

The lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”

“That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,” the deputy says.

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the daylights out of the lawyer and says, “Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?”

I just think these mug shots are funny

Now it's Delta?

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:00:44 -0500

This is from the current Delta in-flight magazine (Sky?) When did we become a society that felt compelled to announce our support of every weird new behavior that comes along?

In this case, I can’t help but wonder if Delta really means what it says? In other words, if THIS GUY showed up to be a stewardess, er, sorry, I mean “flight attendant,” would they really not discriminate? Doubt it...

Queer Peers? At a Catholic University?

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 05:02:24 -0500

I took this picture this week at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Yes, the Boston College CATHOLIC university. Yes, this was on campus, and, evidently, is a student run organization.

I can’t help but wonder why a homosexual or a transvestite would want to attend a Catholic university in the first place. I mean, when I was younger, I didn’t have any desire to go to a university that had, at its core, beliefs that were fundamentally and profoundly different than mine. What has changed?

Airport Security?

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:34:28 -0500

I took this picture yesterday at Boston’s Logan Airport. Yes, that is a fully metal fork and, yes, I am past security.

Turns out that they will allow plastic knives through security, but not metal forks. My question is, what would you prefer to be attacked with: a plastic picnic fork, or, a full size metal fork. I’d prefer the plastic fork.

I think the whole airport security thing is stupid, at least how they are doing it. They scan me fully to be sure I don’t have even a larger-than-three-ounce can of deodorant or tube of toothpaste, and then they hand me a weapon after I pass through security.

You figure it out.

To My Daughter

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:37:30 -0500

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.   Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.  
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.  
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.   Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.  
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.  
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.  
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.  
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.  
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.  
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.  
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore. And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day…

You never know who you'll See on the golf course

This doesn’t look good for Mitt.

It reminds me of a joke. A liberal, a conservative, and a moderate walked into a bar. The bartender said, “Hi, Mitt.”

Where did YOU wear it?

Thu, 1 Mar 2012 15:24:41 -0600

Now Planned Murderhood is advertising for people to post where they wore condoms to have sex. Unreal.

I do love the comments: “Condoms are 98% effective in preventing pregnancy.” Wow, so if I have “protected” sex 50 times, I only get pregnant once! Great deal.

And “Save sex happens.” Really? I thought we actually had to do something to have sex; I didn’t realize it just happened. Silly me.

Oh, and “safe sex”? Safe from what? It can’t be pregnancy, since they admit there is a failure rate. Seems to me that if one does not want to get pregnant, there is one way that is 100% effective: DON’T HAVE SEX!

I wonder what would happen if Budweiser started a website that said, “Our beer is 98% effective in preventing alcohol related accidents.” And what if they also said, “More than half of us will drive intoxicated at some point in our lives, but driving really slowly, staying to the right side of the road, and keeping both hands on the wheel reduces the risk.”

Thanks to St. John the Baptist Parish in Zachary

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:31:27 -0600

I had a wonderful time at the “Re-Living Cana: A Marriage Renewal Weekend Retreat” at St. John the Baptist Church in Zachary (Baton Rouge), Louisiana, this past weekend. They sold out the event early, and had to add more room for 20 more couples. It was a blessed and special time, and I’m privileged to have been involved. Thanks!

That parish is very lucky to have a holy priest like Fr. Jeff Bayhi, and an amazing staff including Ric Smith.

Thanks for inviting me!

P.S. If you haven’t heard Fr. Bayhi’s Stations of the Cross album with Aaron Neville, you’re REALLY missing something special!
