Texas Alliance for Life Banquet with Father Frank Pavone

 
Katie and I went to the TAL annual banquet where Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life gave the main talk: it was awesome!
 
The amazing thing about him is how he so clearly communicates the truths of the Faith with respect to life issues, especially abortion. The Holy Spirit is very clearly working [...]

10 Year Reunion

 
Katie and I went to two events of my 10-year high school reunion yesterday! Wow, how amazing to get to see my old friends with whom I grew up, some of whom I had not had contact with since high school.
 
Some of my friends looked exactly the same as in high school. Most [...]

Blog de Roxy

 
Our friend and Gerardo’s fiancee, Roxy, started a blog recently! You can find it at the site, http://www.rezapornosotros.blogspot.com/. Roxy writes in Spanish, so if you know a little Spanish, it is good practice to read. If you know no Spanish, you can at least get the gist of what she is writing [...]

Credit Where It’s Due

 
I was thinking this morning about the many blessings Devin and I received during our wedding weekend. So many people worked so hard to make it a beautiful, sacred celebration. I was quite the queen of delegation, you see!

Leftovers Never Tasted So Good

 
Howdy,
 
I am now a married man, joined as one with Catherine!
 
Today was my third day back at work after our wedding and honeymoon and also the third day that I have brought my lunch to work instead of going down and ordering it from the cafeteria. This may not seem like a [...]

Happy Anniversary to Us!

 
My husband is taking a nap on the couch this afternoon. My husband…I love to say that! He worked hard this morning with his father, repairing various valves and hoses in our home. Our home…I love saying that, too!
 
We have been married one week now and have rejoiced in every minute of [...]

Going Right Out of State…

 
…the first time was 9 months ago when I met Katie face-to-face for the first time, both of us unsure at first about each other. And now, by God’s grace, we are being joined as one flesh, one heart, one soul in marriage!
 
Who but God knows all things and wills all things for the [...]

My Maids of Honor

 
Last week, a few friends offered me a lovely bachlorette luncheon. They, who just met me for the first time a few months past, have embraced me as a friend and offered their kindness to me. I feel surrounded, in this time of wedding preparation, by a “chorus of virgins”, as Psalm 45 [...]

News from the Homefront

 
Well, this is it, the homestretch before I have the honor of becoming Devin’s wife. I’m home in Deming for this final week, tying up the various loose ends that come with wedding planning. Bless the Lord, things are very busy! And, inevitably, various loose ends are not allowing themselves to be [...]

Have You Thanked Your Guardian Angel Today?

 
If not, do it now!
 
I think it must be an especially pleasing act of faith to thank our angels for protecting us, since most of us have never seen our angels nor will this side of Heaven. Imagine, however, that this luminous, beautiful, and incredibly powerful being is standing guard over you [...]

The Last Sunday…

 
…for me as a single man, and the last one for Katie as a single woman, please God!
 
St. Therese’s feastday falls on a Sunday today and so is not celebrated, but of course we still asked her to prayer for us. Katie leaves out tomorrow for New Mexico, and I will follow on Thursday [...]
