Adonai is Semper Fi: May 2011
http://adonaisemperfi.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Adonai is Semper Fi. Occasional thoughts and musings of a military chaplain. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. My God Shall Supply All Thy Needs, Part II. So I've been pursuing this internship thing with our local church, but at a meeting last week with the Executive Pastor, it became clear that it would not work out. I won't go into all the details, but the bottom line is that they can't pay me for the work I would do, and aren't really set up to allow me to raise support through their missions program. Though w...

Adonai is Semper Fi: Moral Leadership
http://adonaisemperfi.blogspot.com/2012/03/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html
Adonai is Semper Fi. Occasional thoughts and musings of a military chaplain. Monday, March 12, 2012. Today's topic came via a post by my friend Andy Mills and his blog Devotions 4 Cops. I want to talk about the importance of moral leadership. We’ve all heard of stories of a lack of moral leadership within the military. 23 Navy COs were removed from command, the vast majority of them for moral failings - primarily "zipper failure.". But why is moral leadership so important? Now, many of us I’m sure ...

Late For Mass: March 2010
http://lateformass.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A lost Catholic and her inquisitive journey back to faith. Saturday, March 6, 2010. Risk and the modern Catholic. To trust is to risk. Risk disappointment. Risk failure. Risk falling prey to the ultimate cosmic charade. Risk the unforeseen consequences of allowing God to work in our lives. Yet, without risk trust cannot flourish. At Communion and Liberation. Whether this rejection is subtle or overt, we'll know it and it won't feel good. And we are individuals. (Conform and be dull.). Links to this post.

Late For Mass: Full House at Confession
http://lateformass.blogspot.com/2010/12/full-house-at-confession.html
A lost Catholic and her inquisitive journey back to faith. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Full House at Confession. It's the Christmas season and being the ever-fallen but newly devout Catholic that I am, I went to confession to confess my sins and be closer to God. I had been crying all day and my eyes were swollen and my heart was heavy. It was supposed to be a contemplative time.but God was having none of that. Usually, the church is solemn during confession. But last night the place was bustling! It get...

Late For Mass: Beguiling Utopia
http://lateformass.blogspot.com/2010/02/can-we-live-without-utopia.html
A lost Catholic and her inquisitive journey back to faith. Friday, February 12, 2010. Humans are drawn to Utopia. From our earliest days, as children, we search for Utopia. We search as a reaction to unfairness, injustice, discomfort, loneliness, misery. Political systems, philosophies, ethics, even religions evolve with Utopia as the desired endstate. Writers, artists, poets, dreamers wax endless poetic about it. Talk show hosts and pundits build their empires on the longings for it. I'm a mid-life retu...
