What’s up?

Very little if you have looked at my output lately. Today I finally opened up my blog and started looking at what has, and not has been happening to it!

It does not seem that long ago (heh!) that I entered some postings. My hope was to add to the conversations being had about the Catholic Church, the Nation, what is happening in our individual lives. To say I have been disappointed with myself would be an understatement!

So let’s begin over…again! My wife and I have moved to Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Our siblings encouraged the move and my retirement. It is a beautiful place. The need to be doing something may have brought me back to this blog.

I will be exploring what these moves and changes will mean for me; how it will affect me! And how it will affect my relationship with the Church, and ultimately with God!

I am still trying to keep up praying the Liturgy of Hours on a regular basis. I regularly attend Sunday Mass. And I am keeping up with my spiritual reading.

I am not sure what my role as a Deacon will be, I am going to be in another diocese. And maybe I am being drawn to something else.

Bottom line, I am starting over, with new hopes, and personal challenges! Buckle up all!

My Review of The Life of Meaning for Goodreads

Abernathy bookFor many years, one of my Sunday morning pleasures was to watch PBS’s Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly. The program was hosted by former NBC Correspondent, Bob Abernathy, and dealt with issues of religion and ethics in the world. Sadly, after many years, the show was cancelled.

Before the program ended, Mr. Abernathy, along with author William Bole, produced the book, “The Life of Meaning.” It is a collection of, what I would call essays, based of numerous interviews. It covers topics of faith, belief, and life. Many of the chapters have inspired me; and caused me think long and hard on the role of religion in my life, and the life of the world.
