Colorblindness Helps Explain Sola Scriptura?
The human eye is one of the most sophisticated product of evolution nature has to offer. The process of receiving electromagnetic light through the cornea which translates into images that the human brain can decipher and react to is awe inspiring. The corneas are the transparent part of the coat of the eyeball that covers…

The Human Tradition that All Protestants Use Shamelessly.
Jesus Christ established a church in the First Century. I believe all Christians can agree to that sentence. The breakdown is about who, what, where, why, when, and how He established the Church. After two thousand years, the question is how much of what we call “The Church” today is divinely inspired or human creation?…

What Kungfu Movies Taught Me about the Virgin Mary.
I was a fan of Jackie Chan growing up. The jumps and stunts in the movies inspired my childhood shenanigans to my mother’s chagrin. The stories involved overcoming obstacles both physical and spiritual. The protagonist is on a path of self-discovery and must adapt and change to find the fulfillment that they are looking for.…

How mercy is like a Bolt of Lightning
Many nights of strong rains and deep thunder gave me a nostalgia for rainstorms. The heavens are coming down, but my slumber went undisturbed. There is a relaxing quality to the sounds of the fiery tempest. My condolences to those who experience fear while my reaction is peace. I see the streak of lighting, the…

I was Born a Heathen … then I was Baptized
My apologies for the misleading title. Both my mother and father were Catholics when I was born. But I wanted to comment on the uniqueness of Baptism. The Catholic Religion is not just a belief system to which we give our assent. We believe that there are ontological changes involved with our rituals. Both the…

At least one time God was not in control… The Annunciation.
“Let it be done according to Thy Will.” That is the Magnificat, the statement of faith made by Momma Mary in Luke 1:38. It is a profound moment that was the lynch pin moment in Salvation History. The feast of the annunciation is also known as the day of the Incarnation. Jesus of Nazareth was…
