For my two Masses today the lectors were married women. So I told them to choose for themselves between the long and short form of the Colossians reading. They both went with the short. 😌

Shoutout to Station 41-C. 👏 On Christmas Eve, a Mother and daughter stopped by Station 41 after their brand-new kitten became lodged behind the glove compartment of their vehicle. Firefighters brought the vehicle into the station and carefully disassembled parts of the

Books make great company - honestly, one of the best. They keep you occupied, keep you thinking, and just help you get going. I highly recommend reading.🤍

@MostlyPeaceful @GadSaad Trump's sons were taught to stay away from drugs. Trump's sons love and respect him. Reiner raised sons in an infested hellhole permissive of drugs. Reiner's son hated his father and mother and cut their throats. Reap what you sow. Got what he deserved. Good riddance asshole.

This is just a fantastic reminder to many of us!
I’ve watched A Christmas Carol every single year for as long as I can remember. For decades it was my annual warning: “Don’t let what they did to you turn you into him. Don’t let the cold win.” Most years I almost skipped it, ironically, always the years I needed it most.

‘Where am I, and what is the time?’ he said aloud to the ceiling. ‘In the house of Elrond, and it is ten o’clock in the morning,’ said a voice. ‘It is the morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’ ‘Gandalf!’ cried Frodo, sitting up.

Suicide. I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis. You take a rope. You put it up in a garage or a
