The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence.

Although I am an ordained deacon of the Catholic Church, the opinions expressed in this blog are my personal opinions. In offering these personal opinions I am not acting as a representative of the Church or any Church organization.
