NO ONE CARES, DUDE!

One weekend I was at a family gathering in the twin cities visiting my mom who had come back from Vietnam to see her kids, grandkids, and great grandkid. There was great food, great conversation, and great karaoke. The time went by so fast it was like a blur. A few things stuck out to … Continue reading NO ONE CARES, DUDE!

Let ME tell YOU what YOU need!

Before I converted to the Catholic Church, it was just me and my faith. I never really was comfortable with sharing Jesus with anyone. Truth be told, it's because I did not understand what it meant to be a follower of Christ. What I did understand is that there were many Christians who had many … Continue reading Let ME tell YOU what YOU need!

Your beauty and your beast

When I was a kid, in about first or second grade, there was this one teacher whom everyone feared. For anonymity purposes we’ll call her Mrs. Doe. Mrs. Doe was older, maybe 60 or so. She had long gray hair and she loved getting her manicures and always had these long fake nails. As a … Continue reading Your beauty and your beast

To judge or not to judge, that is the question.

Tell me if you've heard someone say any of the following: "Who the heck do you think you are to judge me?" "Who made you 'holier than thou'? You can't judge me!"

Which Cross Do I Choose?

Faith - the belief in something based along the testimony of someone else. Not the blind faith that atheists seem to think we have or the faith that is all about happy thoughts and rainbows and butterflies. No. The kind of faith that tells me about a man born of a Virgin, who lived a … Continue reading Which Cross Do I Choose?

Does God hate some people?

  I was watching 'The Good Doctor' and this scene (Please excuse the quality) made me really think a lot about my faith and those of my friends who have yet to find their hope in Christ. At surface level, it makes sense. Why would an all good, all powerful god put an innocent kid … Continue reading Does God hate some people?

Being masculine in today’s society

Gentleman, let's talk about your masculinity. First off what is it? It derives from the word masculine. adjective 1. pertaining to or characteristic of a man or men 2. having qualities traditionally ascribed tomen, as strength and boldness. I think we as American men have fallen into the pitfalls of how the media wants us to view masculinity. What are some examples of this? Take for example the Hardee's or Karl's Jr. commercials.
