Fr. Glenn: Deep Rooted
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Sometimes it’s amazing the variety of personalities we see in people. We tend to think of ourselves as “normal”—kind of the center of the bell curve distribution—and everyone else sort of skewing from that—either for bad or good. We all could use some improving, no doubt—those who think not of themselves perhaps most of all.
We shouldn’t judge harshly, of course; we never know what one’s developmental stages and influences were like. Some children are taught at an early age that it’s a dog-eat-dog world, and you have to get what you can get all the time. And then there are those Read More

Fr. Glenn: What Next?
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Quite the celebrations of the 250th of the U.S. this year, no? Maybe you saw videos of the celebrations in New York, Washington, Mt. Rushmore … and even Japan!
Despite the naysayers and the often bitterness of critics, it’s remarkable what has been accomplished in a mere 250 years. When one considers the many centuries that empires of the past took to build, such a short time of growth is a comparative blink of the eye. And our form of government—of course imperfect as are all others, and yet so successful—has been imitated to various degrees throughout the world. And despite the Read More

The response was positive, and so that congregation member bought MANY buttons for others to also wear or hand out. My husband has made it a habit to wear one on his bag, and Read More

Fr. Glenn: Holding On
Fr. Glenn Jones:
As we experience often daily, it is becoming increasingly challenging to hold to true and ageless Christian principles. Faith often comes under attack by those advocating for the values of modern culture, which are often diametrically opposed to our faith. We hear often sometimes even from clerics: “The Church should get in touch with the times!”, those critics essentially believing that the values of the world should override even very clear teachings of the faith.
But that’s always been the case, really. Even in the story of Adam and Eve, we are given a first glimpse of the struggle Read More
