"Dear friends, may no adversity paralyze you. Be afraid neither of the world, nor of the future, nor of your weakness. The Lord has allowed you to live in this moment of history so that, by your faith, his name will continue to resound throughout the world." - Pope Benedict XVI

13 trips to Walt Disney World, and today I had the best sit-down meal I've ever had onsite... Lunch at Art Smith's Homecomin' Kitchen at Disney Springs.

I laughed so hard I cried. They cast him for the Resurrection scene but accidentally tried the Ascension.

It was great to meet you too! Thanks for being another great Disney buddy and sharing your adventures with all of us.

Hello, @Frozone_n_Storm. I was talking about Tokyo Disney with @disneytipsguy and he recommended you. Nice to meet you.

Wednesday of the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The least of the holy ones. deaconmichael.net/p/the-leas…

The midterm talking points are simple: costs are up, blame the other side. The corrective isn't defending the status quo. It's going further: → Industrial policy that rebuilds communities → Subsidiarity in healthcare - how Catholic hospitals started → Energy dominance, not just independence → Structural reform, not just investigations anothervoice.net/p/talking-p…

I'm grateful for a wonderful vision and encounter as I prayed my Holy Hour this morning. As I sat in prayer, I came upon our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph. Just as Suzanne and I would occasionally have a family "group hug" with our boys, Mary encouraged me to join them in a family group hug. I stood as a child, one arm around Mary on my left and the other arm around Joseph to my right. And I just rested with my head bowed into our shared embrace. It was the deepest, most peaceful rest I could remember. And as I found myself feeling ready to come out of it and start the day, Mary simply and gently said, "Keep walking with us to Jesus." Keep walking with us to Jesus. Amen.

"Maintain the good customs of thy realm and abolish the bad. Be not covetous against thy people and do not burden them with taxes and imposts save when thou art in great need. "In order to do justice and right to thy subjects, be upright and firm, turning neither to the right hand nor to the left, but always to what is just; and do thou maintain the cause of the poor until such a time as the truth is made clear. "Give heed that thy servants and thy subjects live under thee in peace and uprightness. Especially maintain the good cities and commons of thy realm in the same estate and with the same franchises as they enjoyed under thy predecessors. "Labor to free thy land from all vile iniquity, and especially strike down with all thy power evil swearing and heresy. Put down heresy so far as you can, and hold in especial abhorrence... all sorts of people who are hostile to the Faith, so that your land may be well purged of them, in such manner as, by the sage counsel of good people, may appear to you advisable." - Saint King Louis IX’s Enseignements (instructions to his son Philip)

"What do you give at the offertory?" That's the question I opened with this morning. Not to make anyone uncomfortable. To set up a different question. youtu.be/wOpXoFIERoM

Even if I could afford the next gen Tesla, I couldn't afford the insurance... Still, excited for the future. #Someday
