Positive Post Sunday, December 21, 2025…. Week 460. In just four days, we will once again celebrate Christmas, a day that represents far more than displaying the best light show, getting gifts, and sharing a bountiful feast, it is the sacred remembrance of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the humble…
Positive Post Sunday, December 14, 2025…. Week 459. At our recent Church Ministry Fair, Michele and I felt a gentle yet unmistakable call to expand our service as Eucharistic Ministers by bringing the Body of Christ to those unable to gather at Mass. This ministry has already become a sacred extension of the altar, reaching…
Positive Post Sunday, December 7, 2025…. Week 458. Since my retirement, Michele and I have been attending daily Mass at least one day a week, giving thanks to our Lord for our many blessings.

Positive Post Sunday, November 30, 2025…. Week 457. Though I’ve always cherished the tactile joy of reading a physical book, the gentle rhythm of turning pages, the satisfying scratch of a highlighter marking words that stir the soul, I finally surrendered and bought a Kindle.

Week 447 about “Truth”, I turned on my favorite radio station KSGN, and (not by coincidence) Megan Woods’ song, “The Truth” began to play. Thank you, Lord, for sending me yet another reminder that Truth is the anchor…
Positive Post Sunday, November 9, 2025…. Week 454. For many years, I have woken up early on Saturday morning to ride bikes with my buddies.

Positive Post Sunday, November 2, 2025…. Week 453. I recently finished another great read, “Practicing the Way”, by John Mark Comer. I encourage you to read this book, it’s transformational (thanks for the recommendation, Jay McCall!). Comer challenges readers to move beyond passive participation and embrace the transformative path of apprenticeship. He emphasizes that following…
Positive Post Sunday, October 26, 2025…. Week 452. You’ve likely heard the saying, “You are what you eat,” a reminder that our physical health is shaped by the nourishment we choose. But this truth extends far beyond the dinner plate. One could just as easily say, “You are what you read, what you watch, and…
Positive Post Sunday, October 19, 2025…. Week 451. Through recent discussions and dialogs, it has become apparent to me that there is not a common understanding of “morality”.
