A Ball and Chain –
A chance to be alone to reflect on what is important. The past can get in the way of an optimistic future. You can’t go home but you can lose what was good about the past. All of it interferes with the present.

A Marriage –
A family in the making. The two become one flesh in the life of a child. A trinity in Their Image and Their Likeness. Let the children come and protect them. The Gift of Life. May they receive the second gift of Faith.

A Perfect Time –
A quiet time early in the morning. Dark with a little light. No distractions. Let your mind wander. Only allow good thoughts and see where they take you. You will be led.

A Picture –
A year ago. Don’t know. A strange question. What will it be next year? I will be grateful if I get another year to fight the good fight, to finish the race, and keep the faith. Life is a gift. Faith is a gift. Thank you Lord Jesus. Who could ask for more?

A Truth –
A sea of lies. “The Emperor Has No Clothes” We shouldn’t have to rely on a child to speak the truth. You have to admire one who is willing to speak the truth when lies seem to rule the day.
a news program
A List Of Problems –
A waste of time worrying about things you can do nothing about. Complaining. I could do less complaining. That is a double negative which should be a positive. Why not just be positive by appreciating what you have? Life.

A Patio –
A water dish for the birds but others take a drink including feral cats. Just like birds, there can never be too many cats. They belong outside. They take care of the rats. There will always be too many rats. I never see them at the dish.
a favorite place
A City –
A church and a bar on every corner. Saturday night at the bar. Sunday morning at the church. A dialogue with like minded people. A place to worship with like minded people. A T-shirt with a church on the front and a bar on the back. Wear it proudly.
a famous person
A Meeting –
A chance to meet a significant player. That would be Father Theodore Hesburgh who brought academic excellence to a Catholic university. His Land O’lakes Statement allowed many other Catholic schools to ignore the teachings of the Church.
