Little Johnny was excited to be at the Baptism of his new baby sister, Mary. He had been looking forward to it ever since she was born. However, on the way home in the car, Johnny was sullen, and began to cry softly, and then to bawl out loud....

Monday Joke
Jesus was wandering around Jerusalem when he decided that he really needed a new robe.
After looking around for a while, he saw a sign for Finkelstein, the Tailor.
So, he went in and made the necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein prepare a new robe for him. A few days later, when the robe was finished, Jesus tried it on -- and it was...

Little Lent
Well, Lent "officially" ends today. However, I consider the next two days (Good Friday and Holy Saturday) to be a "Little Lent" because though it is a short period of time, they are the darkest days of the liturgical year.
This year Lent has been a rather dry experience for me. I mean that spiritually, not literally. I let the world get in the way...

Opposite Mayors
"when I get to heaven I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close"
"Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to...

Felons
New York will have 1 million more felons tomorrow than it had yesterday.
What happened? Did busloads of criminals arrive from all over the country? There are "only" 2.5 million felons in the entire country! Where did they come from?
Well, they didn't "come from" anywhere - they committed a felony right there in New York.
Oh my! What kind of crime...

Monday Joke
Pat and Mike get jobs at the local sawmill. The foreman warns them to be careful of the blade, because it's easy to get too close.
They are careful, until one day, Mike slips and his arm gets severed by the big saw. Pat quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mike to the local hospital.
Next day, Pat goes to the sawmill for...

Lonesome Lent
So I haven't blogged much in a while. For this I apologize. Yes, I'm very busy, but so are we all. I have a million tiny things I could blog about, but I never find the time to do so because they don't seem, well, big enough. I'm going to try to change that.
I've been having a very spiritually dry Lent once again. In fact, the only Lent...

A Year of Insanity
So about a year ago I started bookmarking stories that I happened to notice about "weapons" and schools. This is not something where I went out and looked for them, so I'm sure this is not an exhaustive list, but it's long enough (well, actually any one of these stories would be one too many). I did it not out of some vendetta, but because I read...

First Ladies Meet High School Boys
Laura Bush meets high school boy
Michelle Obama meets high school boy
Now, even putting aside the dignity that the position deserves (pun intended), consider what would have happened if a teacher had done this, or (heaven forbid) a religious. Does anyone else think Child Protective Services would have been called? Does anyone else thing Child...
