Lent 2024

 


I hope your Lenten journey this year is filled with meditations, reading, fasting, penance, and prayers. If you’ve fallen off along the way, the journey has not ended. Get back up and keep going. 




God wins in the end, and I don’t want to just be along for the ride. I want to be on that journey with Him. I want to grow closer to Him along the way. Will you continue on this journey with us?


And if this is the first time that you’re reading this, please join us on this journey. Stay for a while, look around, and find out what’s going on. Hear the good news of the Gospels. Hear the adventures of our journey of long ago and that which is yet to come. 


To find out more about this journey, I highly recommend the Holy Bible Douay Rheims Version. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are essential. But most important of all, do not take my word for it. Read the Bible for yourself. The Holy Bible Douay Rheims Version is available for free online and as apps. I’ve invested in hard copies for my family in the past, and it’s been a blessing. It is the best gift for Easter if you're still contemplating on a gift for Easter. It is a gift for years to come, and hopefully, it will be something to be passed on.

Of all the -isms ...

  Of all the -isms in our culture today, this one is often ignored and up there with the most nefarious. I’m talking about nepotism. This is because it is so stealthy. It is not obvious. You never know who is related to whom, either by blood or by marriage.  Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose who your family are. The treachery within family is stuff of legends and timeless novels. At the same time, the benefits of some families just keep on giving, bootstraps not needed at all, just look for the red carpet treatment. When it comes to nepotism, there are tell-tale signs over time, emphasis on time. There are certain people who seem to get away with everything. Rules for you but not for them. Some of these people aren’t qualified for the job, and yet they have been promoted countless times to the top just like that. Then there are some people who haven't done much and yet they’re bestowed with awards and recognitions nonstop just for showing up. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

What’s Cooking Vol. 4: Garlic Bread

  This is a side. It’s really nothing, but it’s one of our favorite no meat dishes, so I thought I’d share this as an idea for a side during Lent.  What you need: - bread - butter - garlic seasoning - shredded Parmesan cheese If you have a loaf of bread, it’s even better. It works with everyday sliced bread as shown in the image above. Melt the butter in the microwave until it is soft enough to mix but not liquid. It doesn’t take long, like several seconds. The amount of butter varies depending on the bread and how much parmesan you’d like. Mix the butter with garlic seasoning and the shredded parmesan cheese. Spread it on the bread and put it in the oven or toaster oven. Baking time will vary depending on how toasted you like your bread. Bake until the butter is melted into the bread or until the parmesan cheese is slightly toasted.  There are many garlic seasonings out there, but this Weber one is my favorite, not salty, just herbs and garlic. The same goes for the s...
