Fr. Glenn: So…It’s All About You?
By Fr. Glenn:
Selfies…selfies…selfies. Everywhere selfies. A momentary visit to any social media site will result in a bombardment of people’s pictures of themselves—often in ridiculous or compromising photos simply aimed at garnering a few (or a lot) of “likes”—a cultivation of egocentricity as never before.
It’s very dangerous, too, in many ways, and possibly not more so than in young people’s dependence on accumulating views/likes for a (false) feeling of self-worth, as if a gazillion anonymous views/likes really means anything worthwhile at all. Lots of articles refer to that dependence Read More

Is it just me or are other people annoyed that Thanksgiving gets short shrift this time of year? Because Halloween sells candy and Christmas is the busiest buying season of the year, our national day of thanks, stuck in between those two commercial seasons, gets little attention. Is it so difficult for us to show some gratitude, at least once a year?
People of faith are encouraged to thank the divine for the blessings Read More

Bells in churches have a thousand-year-old tradition, both east and west, announcing times, events and calling the faithful to worship. They are rung for those outside the church to bring the people in and remind them what is going on inside the church.

Fr. Glenn: Caining Abel
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
It’s difficult to not behold in utter astonishment the news today concerning Israel and Jews, Gaza and Palestinians. Who would have thought even a year ago that supposed civilized persons would again be calling for destruction of Jews—the elimination of any people—once again, as if each man, woman and child of them were some monolithic evil in the world. (A quote seen recently: “Hitler knew how to deal with those people.” (!)) We even see U.S. Congresspersons and academicians implicitly (sometimes explicitly) refusing to condemn outright murder and even joining in with Read More

Home Country: See What Happens
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Old Jasper Blankenship went out to hunt deer the other day, the same way he’s done for decades now. He’s slower than he used to be, of course. Deer season has changed a lot for Jasper over the many years he’s been at it. As a kid, he couldn’t wait until he was old enough to get a license, because he wanted to bring a buck home to show his family. Not just any buck, either, but a big one.
As a young man, he wanted to see how many hunting seasons he could have in one year: duck, goose, quail, pheasant, deer, about anything that moved.
As a middle-aged man, he turned to the technology of hunting Read More
