I don’t know if I ever posted this before, but it needs to be seen. It’s video of abortionist Alberto Hodari speaking to students at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI in 2007 (h/t Jivin J): Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately – but I do feel much better now! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I’m actually probably going … Read More

Goodbye Grandma!
I got word today that our dearly beloved nursing home resident, Dorothy, finally passed away yesterday afternoon at the ripe old age of 92. Doctors gave her no more than a day to live on May 23. So she really fought to remain here as long as she could! And that’s just like her, too. Mom and I visited her … Read More
Introducing “Missouri Life News”
Due to the sometimes overwhelming amount of news alerts I get (and almost never use) concerning life issues in Missouri I decided to start a blog solely dedicated to MO life news. Come by and check it out! This makes blog number five(!) for me. Reflections is still my main and most important site, but you can also find me … Read More

We cannot celebrate the great gift of life without also meditating upon the mystery of death. Earlier last week I had the strangest dream about a man I graduated high school with who died in Iraq two years ago. I frequently have dreams about people I know or have known, but this one was particularly special for some reason. I … Read More
JP II and the Culture of Life
The late great John Paul II passed away three years ago today. My family and I were very fortunate to have the chance to greet the late pontiff in Feb. of 2001. Once we found out that handicapped people, people in wheelchairs, automatically get to go up and greet the pope after his general audience we couldn’t get to Rome … Read More
It’s a Boy, Times Two!
I think that pregnancy is one of the most amazing phenomenons in the entire world. I am fascinated when I see a pregnant woman and think about the fact that she has, at that moment, another living being growing inside her, just waiting to come out and join the rest of the world. Two of my very best friends are … Read More
Sam Lee, Campaigning for Life
I am back from retreat and ready to face the world yet again (with the help of God’s grace). Before I left I got a copy of the latest Townhall magazine in the mail and was surprised to see a fellow Missouri pro-life activist highlighted inside. Sam Lee has been active in pro-life politics for the last 24 years. He … Read More
On Retreat
Every year I go on retreat about this time. It’s lead by the women’s Opus Dei center in St. Louis. I’ve been going for a number of years now and I love them. They’re silent, reflective and much needed. I especially enjoy it when it comes so close to Holy Week. So I will be on retreat starting this evening … Read More
