Fr. Glenn: Strength And Honor
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
(Sigh). Recently we saw another story of what is commonly called “stolen valor” involving those who falsely (disgracefully) claim of having military honors or positions. But such is not limited to military, but may be extended to such fraudulent claims in civilian spheres as well: EMT, firefighter, police officer or some sort of spy or government agent and the like. Then there are the potentially disastrous fake nurses, doctors, lawyers, professionals and other occupations (who wants a fake plumber or electrician working on their systems, either?).

Fr. Glenn: Risky Bets And Consequences
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, the fires are still raging through New Mexico and California, to utter ruination and scouring of much of the land and property. One is reminded of scripture: “How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!” (James 3:5) With nature’s resilience the land will recover in time, of course, but few of us will likely live long enough to see it back in its recent beauty and glory. Nonetheless, the ravaging of livelihoods, hearths and homes will leave scars for generations.
So, what has caused these recent tragedies which have affected the lives of so many so drastically? Cigarettes Read More
