Donna Summer, Requiescat In Pace

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm By Frank Weathers

Well, I am sad to hear that Donna Summer has left us. But something makes me think I’ll see her again. And like one of my friends said on Facebook, I hope St. Peter installs a nice disco ball for her to sing under. Then again, he may not have to, as you’ll see and hear below. (more…) Read more

General Patton’s Thoughts on the Power of Prayer

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

My youngest son has a Living Wax Museum assignment due for his 5th grade class tomorrow. He decided that he would be General George S. Patton, Jr. He’s been working on learning all he can about Patton, but what follows was in none of the books he checked out. I first shared it on the blog back on Jan 20, 2011. What did General Patton think when it came to the subject of prayer? Plenty. So here is the... Read more

Quote of the Week on the HHS Mandate…

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 1:41 pm By Frank Weathers

‎”We believe that this mandate is unjust and unlawful – it is bad health policy, and because it entails an element of government coercion against conscience, it creates a religious freedom problem.” That’s the good word from the USCCB regarding the HHS Mandate. The comments of the bishops “were submitted in response to an HHS Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on preventive services” by Anthony Picarello (see phot0 above), USCCB associate general secretary and general counsel, and Michael Moses,...

Music for Mondays, the Speed Edition

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

Every time you go racing, you put your reputation on the line. —Carroll Shelby I’m still grieving the loss of Carroll Shelby. What I’ve decided to do with this little music post, is celebrate ‘ol Shel’s life a little bit with music. Some of the music you may not be very familiar with, while others will be songs that you consider old friends. You know, Maurice Sendak died and the whole world seemingly stopped with all manner of thoughtful reflections... Read more

Carroll Shelby, Requiescat In Pace

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

It has been a week full of passings. We started off by losing Maurice Sendak, and we wind it up by losing Carroll Shelby, a gearhead of epic proportions. That’s him leaning on the legendary G.T. 350 Shelby Mustang, with a Shelby Cobra in the background for good measure. One of my colleagues at work broke the news to me gently today that Carroll had died of pneumonia on Thursday after an extended illness. I said a prayer for... Read more

Because of Natural Law and Politics

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

One of the early agreements Webster Bull and I had when he invited me aboard the good ship YIMCatholic was that “we don’t do politics” here. And for the most part that is a wise way to go. There are, after all, a myriad of ways to elucidate why I am Catholic without making politics the lynchpin of the reason. Bill Watterson’s characters Calvin and Hobbes get it about right, don’t they?

Problems of the Rich I Don’t Envy #27

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

Applying for financial aid for must-have high school degrees that cost $200K. “I don’t know how anyone can be embarrassed to ask for help when high school costs over $200,000.” Seriously? Uh-huh. I mean when you’re only making $300K per annum, what else can you do but apply for financial aid? Read more

Christopher Walken Reads Us “Where the Wild Things Are”

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

Because everything is a little better with Christopher Walken’s take on it, don’t you agree? So as we bid goodbye to Maurice Sendak today, have a listen to the classic one more time, with a Walken-like rumpus. No additional cowbell required. Goodbye Mr. Sendak. Thanks for the memories. Read more

Jazz for Jesus: Selections from Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

I’m not the first to bring folks attention to the small “c” catholicity of Jazz. Hopefully, I won’t be the last. There may even be a big “C” version of it, which I will spotlight in future Music for Mondays posts over the next few weeks. For this weeks MfM post though, I want to give you a taste of what Duke Ellington proclaimed to be “the most important thing I’ve done.” He composed and arranged three volumes of what... Read more
