Fr. Glenn: Requiescat In Pace

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Rather an even more poignant and solemn Memorial Day than usual this year, for in a few days after the observance of it we come to the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the invasion of the Normandy beaches by the Allies on June 6, 1944.

One might glimpse the horror of that and of other battles in video productions such as “Saving Private Ryan” and “Band of Brothers”, but no video can possibly produce the feelings … the sights, smells and sounds … of all-out battles. We who have been spared such experiences should be ever grateful to those who have not been so fortunate, as well as to those who Read More

Happy Holy Trinity Sunday! Wait. What? Pastor Deb Beloved shared last week that many of our churches were celebrating Pentecost, and we focused on being under the influence of the Spirit. Holy Spirit, that is 😊. And to continue the theme of being bewildered this week, many of our churches will focus on the Read More

Fr. Glenn: Taking The Truck Route

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

We had an ordination yesterday of a couple of guys to priesthood—always a joy-filled day, and a reflective occasion for priests who ponder their own priesthood and the privilege and duty that it entails. The stories of individual discernment in pursuing such a vocation are as varied as there are priests—from cradle Catholics to converts from other Christian faiths all the way to former atheists having their own epiphanies. But, in the end, they pretty much end up at the same crossroads: what is real, and what is really important? What really matters?

So many persons are completely Read More

Salvation. Forgiveness. Righteousness. Grace.

Can someone please explain those things to me, in everyday, easy-to-understand, make-a-difference-in-my-day-to-day-living terms?

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?…

This Sunday, at White Rock Presbyterian Church (and thousands of other churches!), we will be celebrating Read More

Fr. Glenn: Consequences Of No Consequences

by

Fr. Glenn:

Ah, warmer weather cometh, and with it the perennial onslaught of protests. Right now the cause de jour continues to be the conflict in Gaza with protests on the various college campuses and in some cities. Who woulda’ thunk that in such we’d be witnessing calls even for beheadings of campus officials here in the U.S., with terms like “intifada” and “jihad” tossed around casually, the tossers obviously not fully realizing the implications. Certainly young protesters love to utilize hyperbolic lingo, but mobs are known to take hyperbole and run with it. Might we see another Kent State Read More
