Just Thinking . . . My thoughts . . . for what they're worth. Friday, August 20, 2010. Blame To Go Around? The indictment of Roger Clemens for lying to Congress has been the major sports' headline of the week. I wrote the following piece a couple of years ago, in response to the issuance of the Mitchell Report detailing steroid use in Major League Baseball. I wasn't surprised. Disappointed, yes. Angry, a little. Surprised, unfortunately not. Like Barry Bonds, Clemens was a potential Hall of Famer before.

Just Thinking . . . My thoughts . . . for what they're worth. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. My youngest daughters, Hannah (11) and Grace (9), celebrated birthdays recently. I gave each a digital camera.

If Luke were writing the story of our modern times, would he portray the church as a people of compassion, motivated to address the needs, not of themselves, but of the poor and lost?
