Camp with Jesus?

Image
  Personal reflection:     Camp with Jesus at Saint Ann Catholic Church in San Antonio, Texas. Just because you have Jesus in the name, or call something Catholic, doesn't necessarily make it so. Where is the source and summit of our Catholic Faith, Our Eucharistic Lord? Where is praying the Rosary? Where is learning about the Saints? Where is learning about the treasures and fullness of the Catholic Faith? How is this any different from a secular Boys and Girls Club event?

God is in Complete Control

Image
Personal reflection:  “God willing” is a realistically valid input. Because I can say I Confirm my appointment, but circumstances and  situations beyond my control might occur that I will need to Cancel or Reschedule. One never really knows in life for certain. God’s will be done.

Having a god complex is having a death wish

  Personal reflection: Val Verde County is surrounded by counties in yellow, red, and green zones. Clouds seeded over those counties can float over our county.  We are surrounded by counties that have Rain-Enhancement Projects!  And clouds seeded don’t just stay within the boundaries of those counties. Only God makes the rain fall on the good and the bad. Going against God causes death and destruction.

It’s a miracle the Communion rail was not removed and still remains a vestige of long lost reverence of the Eucharist

A SIMPLE BOY FROM BEAULAH by Gene Chapman

                        A SIMPLE BOY FROM BEAULAH by Gene Chapman I wanted to name my column The Plime Blank Truth, but it was taken, so I named it The Other Side, and boy howdy, was it ever that. I wrote so many columns making the Obama administration the criminals, and Trump the New York style good guy to often critical review, and finally the truth is coming! I spent twenty years managing medical programs in prisons, developing a sixth sense for reading faces that served me well in life.  There was something terribly wrong with Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennen’s persona, that triggered my alarm, proven true.  James Clapper Director of National Intelligence was indecisive shaky.  I could never read Obama’s face, frankly it was blank. I didn’t need to read Hillary Clintons face as Secretary of State, knowing her well from her supervising bodyguard, a retired Major from the State police, we hired as our fingerp...

What would Jesus do in a flood? What is the correct response?

Image
Personal reflection:    Not anywhere is it written that Jesus gave money to a non-governmental organization (NGO) like Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities falsely claims to be Catholic. In order to receive government grants it must be a totally secular organization, no mention of faith or religion. A truly Catholic organization would be Saint Vincent de Paul Society. We are called primarily to prayer. We are called to respond with personal love, personal generosity, and personal sacrifice; there is no such thing as organizational love, organizational generosity, or organizational sacrifice. Only individual people can love other people, can be genuinely generous towards others, and can sacrifice themselves for others. It is not true that hundreds of families are relying specifically on Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities is only saying that so that you will give them money. It is only true that everyone is relying on God, whether they realize it or not, for the...
