A single journey

On December 18, 2014 By CATAdminWP
As I sat in Charles Dickens house in London a few years back on Christmas day, I am reminded of the reading I heard from the lips of an Englishman as I sat in the writer’s study and peered out the window. From “A Christmas Carol,” cheerful nephew Fred tells a [...]

Proof of heaven

On December 18, 2014 By CATAdminWP
I just finished Proof of Heaven by Eden Alexander, M.D. Great read. Sort of. In addition to the questions postured by the book, there’s a lot to ponder these days with a Pope who seems bent on re-threading a church in the image of his own personal preferences rather than say, [...]

One friend can change your whole life

On December 15, 2014 By CATAdminWP
It’s true. And it’s sad. There are quite a few people who are along for the ride as long as you have something they need. Financial support. Free advertising. Credibility they can’t get on their own. And then you need help. Or you simply no longer serve a purpose other than the latest gossip to [...]

It does get better… a lot better

On October 20, 2014 By CATAdminWP
Stay tuned. Lots to catch up on and it’s good to great. Granted, recovery from 2 decades of dysfunction does take some time… but the plane does eventually clear the clouds. And the sun then seems warmer and brighter than ever before. Match.com tip for the day: make sure your eharmony dates have a picture [...]

Hot time in the old town tonight.

On June 5, 2014 By CATAdminWP
We all know those totally awkward people who can’t make sense of the simplest social setting, connections with others or lack the ability to function. Usually they draw pity. Unless they are like my ex and are complete jerks. Then we wonder about justice. After all justice does prevail. Now or later, life just catches [...]

Good-bye.

On December 27, 2013 By CATAdminWP
It’s been a month of good-byes. Good-bye to my church. Good-bye to my daughter. And (most thankfully) good-bye to the now ex-husband. The papers are filed and we’re moments away from a court-stamped divorce. Lesson learned: You can’t fix everyone. Some cling to guns and religion, others to addiction and warped judgement. The [...]

All in the family

On November 18, 2013 By CATAdminWP
The future should be quite interesting as the Catholic church wrestles with its relevancy in the lives of its American dalliers. AB Joseph Kurtz is a childhood neighbor of a very good friend of mine, and by all accounts, a stand-up guy; not that character or lineage has much to do with his ability to [...]

Of all the tyrannies

On November 8, 2013 By CATAdminWP
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for [...]

It is good that we are here

On November 6, 2013 By CATAdminWP
As I walked into Mass today my cell phone rang and it was a favorite client. I mentioned I was “walking into a meeting” and could I call him back? Of course. Still, I walked in at the second reading. The Gospel was rather providential. The morning was  terribly stressful. There’s just so much [...]

The eye of Peter

On November 5, 2013 By CATAdminWP
I think of so many things I want to write during the day. The end of the day is just another story. Particularly these days. It seems all I do is go go go. While it’s the feast day of St. Charles, I’m in a St Peter mood. He had spunk and fight and [...]
