More attacks by Islamic terrorists

Last updated on: July 4, 2016 at 7:07 pm By Dave Griffey

This time in Saudi Arabia. Four were killed. Several injured. Thank God it wasn’t as horrible as the last several attacks. God grant peace to the families of the victims, and pray for the souls of those lost and those who are so warped by the evil ideologies which drive them to murder and suicide. Pray for strength, not only for those directly impacted by this evil, but also the strength of our leaders to admit when they are wrong... Read more

For all your patriotic reading needs

Last updated on: July 4, 2016 at 11:48 am By Dave Griffey

The American Catholic has several wonderful posts about this important celebration called Independence Day. And celebrate we should! We live in a free country. So far. Many are attempting to end that freedom. But if we’re clever, resolute and wise, we can avoid the fate of so many nations and societies over the last few hundred years. There are several posts worth reading, covering everything from our ongoing struggle to maintain this great experiment, to the Catholic presence in the... Read more

Horrible

Last updated on: July 4, 2016 at 11:32 am By Dave Griffey

Pray for these precious lives lost to murder. Pray for the soul of the mother who murdered them. Pray for strength and peace for the remaining loved ones who will carry this with them for the rest of their lives. And pray for a society that doesn’t seem to care, because I saw it on a news ticker and found the story on a local news outlet. May God have mercy on our souls. Read more

Our war against Islamic Terrorism shows our heart and soul

Last updated on: July 3, 2016 at 4:01 pm By Dave Griffey

I won’t be doing much posting here until things get worked out behind the scenes. I know as much about setting up blogs as I do about flying space shuttles. Nonetheless, I couldn’t pass up this delicious little piece of internet junk. It’s obviously a partisan hit piece. The gist of it is that toddlers kill more people with guns than Islamic Terrorists! Woo hoo! Score that point. Don’t worry about reasoned debate. The point is we need to worry... Read more

Some De-Stalinization for Independence Day

Last updated on: July 8, 2016 at 10:57 pm By Dave Griffey

One thing about our post modern revolution, it makes no bones about its desire for a post-freedom society. It seems happy to admit it wants government censorship, government control, and the ability to eradicate all traces of ideas and beliefs it finds repugnant. And it’s willing to use the same tactics liberalism long condemned as evidence of totalitarian terror states. So in this story, a Pennsylvania lawmaker has joined the anti-history movement of the modern Left. I get why folks... Read more

Pray for the victims in Iraq

Last updated on: July 8, 2016 at 10:58 pm By Dave Griffey

Apparently over 80 people were killed in bombings in Iraq. Almost 200 wounded. Pray for the victims and their loved ones. Pray for peace and strength. And pray for the evil of that region of the world. Pray that hearts be turned and that conversions take place. If we believe that only through Christ can true peace emerge, then pray for conversion to Christ so that true peace can emerge. Read more

Happy 4th of July

I’ll be out for the rest of the weekend. I have no clue when everything will going strong at Patheos. In the meantime, check at Patheos or check back here. For fun, I had the day off and decided to comment on a very open and reasonable Catholic Facebook page. The topic was lifting up above the political media partisanship and narratives and trying to look at society as a whole. It’s fun reading, let me tell you. Until next time,... Read more

Pray for the victims in Bangladesh

Last updated on: July 2, 2016 at 5:49 pm By Dave Griffey

Horrible. I realize that more people die in car crashes and lightning strikes and racist police and all that. But this is different, and should be different. This type of attack should united people to make it stop. In the meantime, 20 dead, killed by Islamic terrorists. Pray for them and their loved ones, that God bring an almost unbelievable peace to them at this time, and give them the strength and courage to face the months and years... Read more

Just getting up and running and it’s vacation time! Oh well, that’s just like me. Anyway, I’ll be back on the 5th and hopefully be going strong. In the meantime, this is a link to my old blog. It’s a post I wrote some time back showcasing some of our favorite patriotic themed movies. It’s nothing major, just tossing out a few interests. Have a blessed and safe Independence Day celebration. See you Tuesday. Read more
