The nation may be on the brink of electing an unqualified Democrat dillettante and demigogue who will likely be, on Inauguration Day, the worst president of my adult lifetime. Things are just plain crazy out there. And in situations like this, nothing takes the mind [...]

If this story wasn't so sad, I could have run with a very lame Vacation plot crammed full of Clark Griswold's fish-out-of-water hijinks. But because robbery is never funny, and because touring is never relaxing at the best of times (especially when you are far from home and reliant on limited travel possessions for your job and sanity), this news is just plain devastating and depressing. Last week,...

I'll try to update when I'm able. But I will definitely get the comparison of prayers up for each Sunday while I'm gone. And please pray for Brother Benedict as he prepares for his ordination. Ciao.
