We're back!  Sorry for the delay between podcasts, but we are thrilled to be back in the game!

For the last several months, and for the NEXT several months, the media will be inundating us with news and sound-bites pertaining to our selection of the President of the United States.

What does this Country REALLY need?  Deacon Tim takes a crack at that question in this episode.  Check it out.

Post if you agree. Post if you don't agree. It's a free Country.  ;)

Forgiveness is easy to praise, yet hard to accomplish.

Knowing that you should forgive and knowing how to successfully accomplish forgiveness are two different animals.  Deacon Tim points out in this week's podcast that even if you HAVE forgiven someone, resentment can creep back in later if you are not watchful.

A really helpful and provocative podcast. Take a listen!

Does the whole concept of Catholic marriage "annulment" seem confusing to you?  Perhaps you've had a personal experience with the granting or denial of an annulment- or else known someone who has.

Cyndi guides Deacon Tim through many questions that a lot of us likely would love to have answered about the Catholic doctrines concerning marriage and annulment, but were to scared to ask.

We all know that Jesus loves us- even to the point of being mocked, tortured, and crucified for our eternal salvation.  We also know that we are called to love our brothers and sisters, so we naturally hate the idea of treating our brothers and sisters differently than they wish to be treated.  Is this Biblically supported?  Deacon Tim reminds us of several Biblical passages on the subject, including this one in the New Testament:

1 Corinthians 5:11-13
But I now write to you not to associate with anyone named a brother, if he is immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard, or a robber, not even to eat with such a person. 
For why should I be judging outsiders? Is it not your business to judge those within? 
God will judge those outside. "Purge the evil person from your midst."

Tough stuff.  What to do with those who we love but who are in unrepentant sin?  Tune in, listen, think, and comment!
