For confusion arises within us, not from the nature of circumstances, but from the infirmity of our minds; for if we were thus affected by reason of what befalls us, then, (as we all sail the same sea, and it is impossible to escape waves and spray,) all men must needs be troubled; but if … Continue reading Nobody Has The Power To Upset You

How The Devil Dresses Up Old Heresies In New Clothes
Image by Alexandr Ivanov from Pixabay I've got in trouble for talking about it before. I'm always getting in trouble. I love trouble, keeps me on my toes. And the people who became irate with me were surprisingly Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant Christians. Why?

How Did I Get From Heathen To Religious?
Image by 👀 Mabel Amber, who will one day from Pixabay I was parked at the harbour one day waiting for a call from my local Catholic Bishop.

TOMORROW I WILL LITERALLY FOLLOW MY DREAMS
Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay Tomorrow I'll be quite literally following my dream to visit Limerick City once again to find the graves of my ancestors.

Grounded On The Sands Of My Worldly Thoughts

Alone Time In The Mountains
Photo: Stephen McElligott I don't have too far to drive to go into the mountains and walk their dusty roads. Getting far away from the general public is important to me because to be quite frank, I find the world an irritable place to be. In fact, to be even more up front with you … Continue reading Alone Time In The Mountains
