Did you hear about the Florida man who was recently released after 35 years in jail?
Advanced DNA testing proved he was innocent.
He said he is not bitter.
How is that possible?

Evangelization Is…
“Evangelization is holding Jesus in your heart and carrying Jesus to the hearts of others.” — unknown
That’s all for today.
May I challenge you to have others see Jesus in you? Because if your challenge doesn’t come from this blog, then where will it come from?
You’re too busy to challenge yourself. Right?
Then, if you do it for no other person, do it for the one(s) at your dinner table.
Can Scorpions Fart?
“Do you have any questions?”, the Brevard Zoo staff member asked the boys.
One six-year old boy threw his arm up in the air, “Can scorpions fart?”
Brevard Zoo. Yesterday, January 24, 2010. Twenty Cub Scouts plus an equal number of Parents.
Our Church has a growing Cub Scout Pack. It shut it’s doors two years ago, due to low enrollment.
Last year, two Dads resurrected our Pack and Twelve boys with a few Tiger Cubs, a few Wolf Cubs, and even fewer Bear Cubs. It was intimate to say the least. And it was my first year having a Wolf Cub.
This year, we’ve tripled. Now our trips have more energy, more unpredictability. More involved Parents. More blessings.
More humor.
Thanks to a couple of dedicated Dads (Rob & Greg) (and also Mike) who led us last year. They could have given up and said it was too much work.
That would not have been very funny.
Small Surrenders Make
“Small surrenders make up a stained glass mosaic.” — unknown
As you read this, on this day (Sunday), what comes to mind for you?
There are many possible directions and interpretations.
It reminds me, at first glance, the daily surrender necessary to overcome addiction.
One day at a time.
A small surrender to desire.
And sometimes in one day, there are many small surrenders.
And then tomorrow, begin again.
Repeat until death.
Forgive Me Please
Father I have sinned. In my thoughts and in my words. In what I done and what I have failed to do.
Sound familiar?
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
Do you think about this casually? Relentlessly?
What if you did?
