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

In all the years I’ve sat in pews in the Catholic Church (eighteen as a non-Catholic, and four as a Catholic), I’ve never heard any partisan political words uttered by a parish priest. Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but I don’t think that is the case. Here’s the reason why. (more…) Read more

Today’s the Day the Music Died (Music for Mondays)

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

For me, anyway. No, I’m not talking about Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, who Don McClean sang about in American Pie. No, I mean the day the music died for me. It was on August 27, 1990, when Stevie Ray Vaughn died in a helicopter crash at the age of 35.

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

My children headed back to school twelve days back. But it still feels a bit like summer, though this year it seems as if all the seasons are running three weeks ahead of schedule.
