 My latest article at Our Sunday Visitor newspaper.

Old people, young people and those middle people. Lord, have mercy!

7 ways to get along with those..other...generations

My latest at Our Sunday Visitor:

"Ask any saint: Ruts are underrated"

 

No one said Christianity if easy. My latest article at Our Sunday Visitor newspaper.

Including:

 “Dearest Lord, please help (fill in the blank) stop being such a self-centered, slimy, sleazy … .” How could the God of all goodness not grant such a truly heartfelt prayer?

And if that political bag of wind and malevolence remains unchanged, doesn’t that mean he or she is refusing God’s graces (which, by the way, you helped set in motion)? It can’t be you. It can’t be God. So, whom does that leave? Yep. He or she still has free will and so (shrug) what’re ya gonna do?

 Hate the political position, love the person who holds it

My latest article at Our Sunday Visitor newspaper.

This one was fun to write.

My latest at Our Sunday Visitor: 10 ways to be the worst parishioner ever.

My latest at Our Sunday Visitor.

"When did we see you homeless?"

"It well may be — but unknown to you — a friend, coworker, neighbor or fellow parishioner has a family member who’s homeless. It well may be you have an immediate or extended family member living in a shelter or on the street."

My latest article at OSV.
Right here!

Again, thank you Our Sunday Visitor for giving me such license when it comes to the newspaper article topics and angles I pitch. A 1982 DeLorean vs. a 2019 confessional? Great Scott!

How the confessional is better than a time machine

Now available in paperback: "How to Write Your Novel in Nine Weeks."

Let a sock puppet named Little Willie and me show you how you can do this. Yes, you. And tell your wanna-be-a-novelist friends. They can do it, too. (Certainly not as well as you, but still ... play nice.)

Buy my book, write your book. Boom. Done.

But I don't waaaaant to.
