Challenging thought for all you Catholics

If you truly believed that Jesus is present in the Eucharist, then you would try to go to Mass or Eucharistic Adoration every day. If you truly believed that Jesus is present, then how could you stay away?

If you're life isn't centered on the Eucharist, it's because you don't really believe. What else could explain the lack of enthusiasm?

I myself need to hear this.

Pictured above is a photo taken by a regular guy at Eucharistic Adoration. To my knowledge, it was not doctored or photoshopped.

Catholic teaching clearly states that Jesus IS the Eucharist and He's waiting to give you many blessings. All you need to do is go to Him with an open heart and persistent prayer.

Classic Johnny Cash

I've always loved Johnny Cash. Dad used to listen to him when I was a boy and it rubbed off on me. Besides having an incredible voice and a wonderful ability to tell stories through song, he apparently lived a very tumultuous life. When he died however, he was a commited Christian.

When I lived with Jon Bennett in Scottsdale ten or eleven years ago, we used to really enjoy unwinding to classic Johnny Cash. Great Memories. JB, I knew you would enjoy this parody. Be sure to share it with your children so that another generation of kids cans grow to love the man in black.

Chocolate better than Broccoli?

Hopefully this will be less controversial than the last time I cited the "latest study."

Chocolate's better than broccoli
October 30, 2006

"Is chocolate really a healthy food?" asks a reader. Could the main ingredient in your Halloween bag actually be something that's good for you?

Trick-or-treaters may be shocked to learn that chocolate has more health-promoting plant flavonoids than broccoli or Brussels sprouts. In fact, in a recent study, dark chocolate also beat green tea, red wine and blueberries in antioxidant levels.

To my beautiful wife

On the deck of our cruise ship docked beneath the great Austrian monastery of Melk in September 2005. Please promise me that you will run away with me again sometime!

Help for anyone who ever gets a bad song stuck in their head

If you ever feel like you're being driven insane by a song that you can't get out of your head, watch this video. Of course, you might end up feeling the same way about this song, but at least you will have changed your tune! Thanks to Michael Kloska for reminding me of this classic ditty.
