Father?

My posts may be sporadic this week because I will be helping man a fireworks tent. Before I embark on this quest of lights and colors I want to leave you with a question that hopefully will be answered in the very near future.

Yesterday was fathers day. Fathers are known for many things. They are recognized on this special day for a plethora of things beyond just being half of the equation for conclusion birth. So my question?

Are Catholic priests exalted on fathers day?

I love ya Pop, and yesterday was all about you... but this is what was going through my head.

Generate Life

"The way of the Godly leads to life; the path does not lead to death." Proverbs 12:28

Sometimes if I am looking for a specific response from someone, I will say something that I know will make the person feel bad to generate that specific response. I do it for my own selfish desires. I purposely create death. I think a lot of people purposefully create death. The scary thing is, they tend to not even notice. I've noticed that in this area of my life, I am ungodly. It's literally spelled out in this proverb. We all need to generate life. Generate life for others. To do otherwise is to be ungodly.

Quiet Friends

This weekend I really got to spend a lot of time with some of my great friends. My time with them really got me thinking. What makes a good friend? What separates great friends from acquaintances? Luckily I found my answer. Great friends are friends you can be quiet with.

Truthfully my friends and I are crazy. We are everything but quiet. Yet we all can sit in a room with nothing to say and still be loving every second of it. In fact we don't even think about it. So I guess I have found that with my close friends, silence isn't awkward. I don't feel the need to 'entertain.' In fact, it's in those quiet moments that we can be who we really are, together, and realize we are family.
