Whether they are baseball, another sport, a different hobby, or so on, we always need to be sure that our distractions aren’t taking us away from our important priorities, the most important of which is our Faith and living out our call.

Where from and where to
I recently got to visit Heritage Hill State Historical Park in Green Bay. Through old buildings and professional storytellers, the park attempts to help people step back in time, learn about the past, and see the area for what it used to be.
Boring or blessed?
Back in 2010, a computer decided that April 11, 1954, was “the most boring day since the dawn of the 20th Century”. That’s a pretty bold statement to make from something that wasn’t there at the time.

A perfect Church for imperfect people
Well, Happy Easter, everyone. There are a lot of things I could write about this week. I guess I can’t really ignore the top topic on the Catholic Church — Pope Francis has died and soon we will have a new pope.
Happy Easter! Don’t overdo it
