I am starting a new series on RosaryMeds titled “The 15 Promises of the Rosary.” Each article will focus on one of Mary’s rosary promises. Wait, what? Never heard of the 15 promises of the rosary? Don’t be surprised. Unfortunately, these promises seldom come up when people explain the rosary. Everyone explains the mechanics of […]

Given the frustrating news stories lately, I thought I would lighten things up a bit and give you a break from debt ceilings, shutdowns, healthcare, or some stupid statement a politician just made. In many of my previous posts I compare rosary prayer to exercise. In this post, I thought I would draw some relationships

Monday, October 7, is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. I would be amiss and greatly derelict in my duties as a rosary blog writer if I didn’t write something about it. The Catholic San Francisco, asked its readers, “Why do you pray the rosary?” I provided some of my thoughts (this should

Political
I follow a lot of blogs and news sites covering topics ranging from technology, to personal finance, humor, and fitness. Nerd Fitness is one of my favorite exercise and health blogs I visit. Steve Kamb started the site when he decided to start a blog on a topic that is important to him. It started

Summer is here which means it’s county fair season. For me the county fair bring two treats — watching my son see farm animals that he has only seen in picture books and indulging in some fattening foods. This year I tried a fried Twinkie for the first time. For those who don’t know, it’s

“But I don’t want to clean my room!” “Do I have to clean the dishes now?” “But this show is almost over! I’ll take out the trash once it’s done.” “But I’m not tired!” I think nearly all parents hear excuses like these on a near daily basis. They engage in a constant struggle to

As a joke, a comedian named Kurt Braunohler ran a KickStarter campaign to fund writing a funny message in the sky. I think anyone who saw “How do I land?” written in the sky that day got a good chuckle (as well as the millions who saw it on the internet). And while this was obviously
