I have, at times, kept an iPad next to my keyboard on my desk for quick notes. It is nice to have those notes digitally, but nothing is quite as fast as old-fashioned pen and paper.

Tucker Carlson Tells Wife That Israel Must Have Planted All Those Dirty Dishes In The Sink - Babylon Bee

“I mean, I don’t really know who left the dishes in the sink. It could have been me, I guess. I’m forgetful,” Carlson said. “But isn’t it more likely that a Jewish operative snuck into our house and put them there? I think so.”

Man Exhausted After Long Day Of Typing Stuff Into ChatGPT - Babylon Bee

“Hour after hour of typing, waiting for replies, seeing what’s usable, and sometimes it gets things wrong, and I have to go back and type more stuff into ChatGPT and wait for it to solve the problems.”

This makes me laugh.

These parables are not to be treated as strict allegories…. They stand here, in order that important truths may be suggested from smaller matters. A good example is the story of the judge who neither teared God nor regarded man, and yet yielded to the widow—not from piety or humanity, but merely to be spared some annoyance. The unjust judge himself does not in any way allegorically represent the person of God…. Yet the story does show how even an unworthy man, acting from petty motives, cannot disregard those who assail him with unceasing petitions.

… and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

Fortress of the Mind, Garden of the Heart - Catholic Husband

When our interior life is strong, when our garden is producing a perennial harvest, the fortress has something within it worthy of protection.

Submission - Catholic Husband

Human relationships are filled with agendas and ulterior motives. This constant complexity causes our brains to be suspicious of anyone, especially when they tell us how to live our lives. God’s plan for us is one of those paradoxes. He does have an agenda, and a clear motive. He wants us to follow His plan because its outcome is the best version of ourselves.

How cool is it that I can record a podcast on my phone and save it directly to my desktop without a single wire?!

My window backs up to the woods. I love falling asleep to dusk and waking up with the sun. It’s like camp, but way more comfortable.

Empty House - Catholic Husband

The neat, orderly, quiet, and sterile atmosphere is not how the family is meant to be. The kitchen stayed clean all week, and the beds made, and toys picked up, but it was a house nearly empty of life. The low hum of children running around, the voices of play, the small pleasures of funny phrases, all of it was missing. This is the great mistake of avoiding children: they are fountains of joy.

Personally, though, I try not to think too much about politics. I’m much more into hockey, Trailer Park Boys, and…uh…maple syrup.

I think it’s a sign of the spiritual sickness of a person to celebrate the death of an intellectual rival. Not an enemy, not a threat, someone who had a different philosophy or worldview.

What a perfect rejoinder that Sen. Graham’s little sister, whom he raised after the death of their parents, will finish his final term of public service.

Secrets of Peace - Catholic Husband

Standing in the field where St. Kateri lived is a profound statement on sainthood. It did not appear special, it looked like a field in my neighborhood. The short hike through the woods to the natural spring from which they drew water looked like the woods in my backyard. That is precisely the point. Sainthood, holiness, and goodness doesn’t require us to relocate to Italy or to spend all day within the sanctuary walls. Collecting water, cooking meals, mending houses, all of these chores are the ordinary path to sainthood.

Dad’s Plan To Work At Home Foiled By People At Home - Babylon Bee

A sighing Kenny began working again, only for the internet to go down three minutes later when his toddler unplugged the router. Kenny had nearly fixed the router when his daughter came in, announcing that she had just been bitten by a snapping turtle down at the pond and needed to go to urgent care.

No mention of the queue.

All Things Bright and Beautiful - Catholic Husband

I find aestheticism to be an easy way to communicate to my children about the things of God. Latin chant, holy architecture, a brilliant sunset, the green canopy. All of these things are beautiful in and of themselves, sharing a good that is not consumed, but savored and evergreen.
