Mr. President? A Trifecta of Anti-HHS Mandate Videos for the Situation Room

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

Not so fast, Mr. President. In fact, it appears that you have awoken a sleeping giant. For your viewing pleasure, sir, I present these three excellent videos that express to you, and your Administration, the opinions of the (heretofore) Silent Majority. I’ve arranged them in order of the number of views they have received on YouTube to date. (more…) Read more

How to Approach Christ in the Eucharist (A Few Words for Wednesday)

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

The Eucharist has been on my mind lately. This evening at our parish, my wife and I finished a six week long reading and discussion of Brant Pitre’s, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist. What a delight and a treasure trove of knowledge that book is. I’ll share more on what I learned soon, as the thoughts that Dr. Pitre shared from the history of the Exodus to the Last Supper needs to be known by all Christians.... Read more

One for the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord (Music for Mondays)

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

Have you ever asked your mom to pray for you? I have. And one of the truly amazing graces is that as a believer in the Communion of the Saints, I can ask the Mother of our Lord and Savior to pray for me as well. (more…) Read more

Because God Is A Crazy Farmer, Thankfully! UPDATED

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 11:36 pm By Frank Weathers

I’ve been working in the yard around Casa del Weathers. One thing I’ve been doing a lot of lately is weeding. Not that I have some sort of pristine yard that I need to keep up so I can one up the Joneses, or anything. But I like my flower beds to contain flowers, and not weeds. As for my yard, which out back (especially) is pretty much a random assortment of weeds and grasses that are shade tolerant, I... Read more

Joe Six-Pack’s Public Comment on the HHS Mandate “Proposed Rule: Certain Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act”

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

It’s a lovely Saturday, following on the heels of a Friday in which many folks turned out during their lunch hours to stand up for religious liberty. From the photographs I’ve seen posted on Facebook and other blogs, the turnout was pretty good. NPR even reported on the event, as did a few other news outlets, like the Washington Post. Truth be told, I couldn’t make it to the event that was planned nearest to my home. (more…) Read more

For Your Lenten Friday Night At The Movies IV

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 8:34 pm By Frank Weathers

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. One of the best things I like about doing this Lenten movies series is seeing films that I’ve never seen before, but I should have. I never got around to it, as I was too busy conquering (ha!) the world, or maybe I was on deployment overseas. (more…) Read more

Because Everything Matters, When Christ is Our Center

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 11:30 pm By Frank Weathers

Back in the Fall, I shared a post with you about fallen Hollywood heroes asking for mercy. Does Hollywood matter? Does anything, given the finiteness of our earthly existence? I’m reminded of a title of an album by John Cougar Mellencamp: Nothing Matters, And What If It Did? (more…) Read more

A Painting For Spring By My Favorite Jesuit

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

Sure, it’s a day early, but Spring was about three weeks early where I live this year. What’s been your experience? So I’m in the mood to share a painting for the season, created by the fellow who has become my favorite Jesuit priest. Remember Wu Li, SJ? Makes you want to hang up a “gone fishin'” sign and leave, doesn’t it? Read more
