It takes more than one mistake, or one faulty brick, to collapse a building. It’s the grace of physics and of discipline. A single weak brick in a facade is a problem, but is also supported by the strong bricks all around it. Parenting is not a zero sum scenario, but it does require focus applied over time.

Freedom - Catholic Husband

Countries are big places, and there are the selfless and the selfish, the serving and the self-serving. It shouldn’t offend of sensibilities to see in our government a mirror, although it might nudge us closer to virtue.

I see all of these corporate April Fools jokes and I can’t help but think about all of the time that went into coming up with a concept and finishing the design.

We need humor and levity, but humor is best enjoyed when it bubbles up naturally.

This is just a waste of time and effor.

Reconciled - Catholic Husband

In youth, I loathed the season of Lent; now I harvest its fruits. In youth, I guiltily avoided Reconciliation; now I embrace the process of refinement. This is the life of the Christian. I do the hard things to make myself a more prefect reflection of Love.

Therefore the Lord exhorts us to wait with patient and reverent faith until the end comes… It is not a blessed dissolution that awaits us, nor is nonexistence the fruit, nor annihilation the appointed reward of faith. Instead, the end is the final attainment of the promised blessedness, in which the goal of perfect happiness is reached, with no further goal beyond. For these, “the end” is to abide in the condition of uninterrupted rest toward which they are pressing.

Reign - Catholic Husband

Discipline is uncomfortable, difficult, and at times, unpleasant. Its fruit, however, is the sweetest of all. A man who fully commands himself is not subject to the agenda of another.
