In Defence of Book Lists

Last updated on: August 14, 2025 at 6:27 am By Mark Wilson

I like to read. It is an engaging way to use your body, (because you have to sit or lay somewhere to read) heart, mind and soul in one particular activity that connects you deeply with another person who took the time to pour out their selfs in words typed most likely on a computer and then printed out and published either electronically or physically. You may never meet them in this life but through their words that echo across... Read more

How People Come To Believe In God Is Always A Mystery

Last updated on: August 6, 2025 at 7:48 pm By Mark Wilson

The Manner of the Receiver I find it interesting that two people can look at the same data and come to two absolutely different conclusions about the same thing. But yet at the same time they can also find some commonality about the same thing. This is especially true with the different conclusions about God. How people come to believe in God is always a mystery. Pope Paul recalled a Scholastic axiom that captures the importance, as well as the... Read more

Seeing God in the Secular

Last updated on: August 1, 2025 at 5:41 am By Mark Wilson

Going to mass and receiving the sacraments, reading the scriptures and engaging in prayer helps prepare our hearts and minds and feeds our souls with the presence of God. We can then take the spirit of God dwelling in our soul and use it to see everywhere in God’s creation which reflects the truth, beauty and goodness everywhere one goes.

We Were There When Cinema Was Cool

Last updated on: July 29, 2025 at 11:02 pm By Mark Wilson

We Generation Xers were there when cinema was cool. We didn’t have to watch classic hit movies on DVD or digital. We watched it on big screen. We watched it without 30 minutes of previews before hand. We watched it without commercials. We watched it for a lower ticket price then what they charge to see film in theaters now. We didn’t watch reboots, remakes or relaunches we watched the original films that inspire those sequels,prequels and nostalgia movies they... Read more

Today Will Soon Be Gone

Last updated on: July 24, 2025 at 10:24 pm By Mark Wilson

My wife was Gone for a week and went to pick her up last night. Our week apart is now Gone. On the first day back together we went to St. Philips for our nighttime activity.
