Here are the results of a poll that I’m sure will ruffle a few feathers on both sides of the political and church isle. A recently released Gallop poll found that one’s “religiousness” is a great predictor of his political affiliation. It found that those who practices their faith regularly are more likely to lean conservative while someone who

In my last article I discussed how the state of American political discourse has descended into a war of bill branding and news soundbites rather than discussion on Constitutional principles. Specifically, I noted that large negative response many liberal politicians had on the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision. Now it’s time to separate RosaryMeds from your run

Yep, I’m getting political. But please keep reading! This does related to rosary prayer and meditation. I know many people like to visit my blog to read little, witty observations and my analogies of rosary meditation to exercise, military mottos, movies, etc. But we also have to remember that we practice our faith in the real world which

I previously wrote about how rosary prayer is a lot of Navy SEAL training. The rosary can be a difficult prayer that is monotonous, time consuming, and requires a lot of concentration. Not surprisingly, many people either ignore praying the rosary or substitute it with easier and shorter prayers. I want to explore more in

It has been a big two weeks for both the pro-life and religious freedom causes. We saw the Supreme Court rule unanimously that the 35-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics in Massachusetts violated the pro-life advocates and sidewalk counselors right to free speech. And this week we saw the Supreme Court, in a narrow 5-4 “Hobby Lobby”

We just remembered the 70th anniversary of the Allied landing on Normandy in WWII. Operation Overlord, or D-Day, was a massive operation that forever changed the face of our world. Thousands of men stormed the beaches and for many of them, the flashes of German gunfire from concrete bunkers was the last thing they would

“Just ring the bell and this will all be over.” That must be a common phrase many potential Navy SEALs either hear or think in their initial phase of training called BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL). This is the stage that whittles down hundreds of candidates to only a select few who can tolerate weeks of

I recently finished reading The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis de Montfort. In short, I think this is a terrific book that anyone who regularly prays the rosary should read and share with others. First, who was Saint Louis de Montfort? The wikipedia summary is: Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (31 January 1673 –

Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. My 2 year old son is at an age where he wants to act like a grownup. One example is that he often refuses to drink out of a sealed “sippy” cup and wants just a plain glass. Not only that, he doesn’t want anyone

Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. I think about one of the companies I worked for which had a very intense, deadline-driven atmosphere. This was in the feature film industry where you can’t just partially finish a shot in a movie or half-deliver a commercial.
