Blog post“With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.” Proverbs 8:18
If a true friend and confidant approached you with a guaranteed means of acquiring life-long success – I bet you would give him or her your undivided attention. It’s human nature to flock to those appearing to be successful in something we desire. If you want to invest in a business these days, you tune into Shark Tank to hear what the Sharks have to say about what makes businesses investable.

Blog post“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7
We all have those aha moments when it comes to God. Moments when we are blessed with clarity. We see glimpses of how God is truly behind everything, sometimes guiding us through situations, sometimes repairing what’s been damaged, but always present. Those occasions remind us how important we are to Him, how close He stays to us, how He’s not just everywhere, but He’s been ever -
Blog post“No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.*” Mark 6:24
Hate money to love God? I immediately asked: why does it have to be one or the other? I was in my late twenties at the time, and trying to figure out the husband/father/provider thing. At face value, I thought the Church’s teaching was that money was evil, yet I spent all my waking (and working) hours trying to get more of -

Blog post“The just man’s lips nourish many, but fools die for want of sense.” Proverbs 10:21
Who do you go to for guidance when you need direction? When you have something really bothering you, when you find yourself in a situation and don’t know what your next move should be, who comes to mind first?
Picture that person. Good.
Think about what that person possesses to earn your confidence. Why are you drawn to them? Why are comfortable confiding in them and why are confident t -
Blog postJesus was talking to those who chose to follow him, and he laid out what is known as the conditions of discipleship. In doing so, he asked a really powerful question:
“What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?” Luke 9:25
We do not live on this earth forever. Money is only a means to an end. You are here for a reason – and it is not just to grab a bunch of cash.
What do you think your “reason” is? Why are you here?
You are -
Blog postYour business. Think about your current job, your most recent paycheck. Is it really yours?
You work hard enough for it. You pay the taxes. You incur all the costs of your life. You shoulder the responsibilities.
But is it really yours?
It is written in the Bible that everything belongs to God, and that the whole world is under Jesus’ authority. As a Catholic, a Christian, a Believer, do you agree?
Some people, including some Catholics, disregard parts of scrip -

Blog postThe stress levels surrounding the recent presidential election were unprecedented. Voters from both sides of the aisle hoped and prayed that we would at least see an end to the mudslinging after Election Day. But much to our dismay, it hasn’t stopped. If you are still fatigued over the whole ordeal, you are not alone!
If your candidate won, you were probably surprised, and relieved. But now you’re tired of the outbursts and becoming callused to all the uproar.
If your candida -

Blog postMy wife told me last night that she is considering deleting Facebook until after the election. I think that’s probably a common thought. The nomination circus has ended. The official presidential campaigns have just begun, with the major party conventions in the books. November is still a long way off and I am already fatigued by all the rhetoric, memes, videos and outright bad decisions and bad behavior posted by good people on social media.
In addition, everyone I -
Blog postI am very grateful for Bishop Robert Barron. In one of his YouTube videos, he gave the best definition of love I have ever heard. I have found this very useful, especially when working with difficult people. He says Love is “willing the good of the other. It’s an act of the will, not an emotion.”
That really helped me understand love – in theory. And nothing has helped me more with love – in practice – than remembering it’s all about forgiveness.
If you forgive others their tr -
