My story about Villanova Men’s Basketball Team winning the NCAA Tournament on April 4, 2016
NOTE: This is story from our fellow Knight of Columbus brother Dennis Corcoran: I decided to switch gears for this month’s column and share with you the Villanova Men’s Basketball Team winning the NCAA Tournament on April 4, 2016. One reason for this is that I not only went to Villanova, but I was the manager of…
What to Do When we Don’t Know What to Do
I don’t know what to write. Thoughts jump one to another; none hold my attention. It’s just waiting on Him. Bear with me…. nothing yet…thanks for your patience. It will come…always does. Is it something I read? Some experience I’m going through? Something I learned way back? More silence, just anticipating a pop in to…
Another excerpt from the book: “I Left My Heart in Cooperstown”
A year ago I wrote about the Baseball Playoffs and how two Wild Card teams made it to the World Series for the first time. I never wrote about the World Series results, but as those of you who follow baseball know, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals in seven games to…
What can God do in one second?
For starters, He makes the light emanating from every object in the universe travel 186,272 miles. That’s quite an example of what can be done in a short amount of time? Ephesians 5:16: “Make the best of the present time, for it is a wicked age.” For loafers and sluggards, time is for idleness; work…

Should We Give Away What Meets our Needs in Order to Meet our Needs?
Each of us is driven to satisfy our needs. But what happens when someone else has a need and we have to ignore it to get our own needs met? In families and in society at large there is perceived competition for need satisfaction. There is also another level to this competition – satisfaction of…
I Have to See it to Believe it
To Christians undergoing a trial and looking forward to an answer the statement above is bad theology. It is counterproductive to a solution. The Psalmist David wrote in Psalms 26:13: “I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of…
Enablers versus Developers
Compassion is a true Christian virtue. We should show it whenever someone is in a difficult situation that they have no control over. Enabling is not the same thing as showing compassion, although enablers describe their actions as compassionate. When people are in difficult situations because of irresponsible actions they have taken, they need development…
Is Anxiety Disobedience To God; Therefore A Sin?
Jesus said, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:34). When money is running low and we don’t know where it will come from to meet a need arising tomorrow, next week or next month,…
How A Wise Man Spots A Fool
The word “fool” is found in 62 scriptures; “fool’s” in seven; “fools” in 42; “foolish” in 52; and “foolishness” in 20 verses. It warns of being a companion of fools. How do you spot a fool? A fool is revealed by his speech. Ecclesiastes 5:3: A fool’s voice is known by multitude of words. Ecclesiastes…
Want an Audience with the King and to Receive His Gifts?
The Hebrew word translated “gift” means a “present” that one person gives to another. The NIV translates it this way, “A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great.” This verse describes what happens when you support a ministry.
