Stop, Listen and Listen
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2015)Here's something I've been observing and pondering. Conversation is either a context or a contest.

Will Power
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2015)Horse power is a funny kind of name for trucks and cars by which to be measured.

Judgements
(Creighton University, Online Ministries.

Going Places

Whistle
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2016)Some of us are old enough to remember the movie, Song of the South in which there was the tune,"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."

The Rules
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2014)There were many rules surrounding our behavior at the time I entered the Jesuits, most of which we found humorous.

Sun
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2015)The March-sun is creeping northward and is warming our wintered faces.

The Good and the Perfect
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2015)In his book, " What's Wrong with the World ", G. K. Chesterton wrote an easily misunderstood, yet oft quoted puzzler.

Be-living
(Creighton University, Online Ministries.

Names
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2016)C. S. Lewis wrote, "The most emphatic noise is the one you are trying not to listen to."

A New G.P.S.
(Creighton University, Online Ministries. Omaha, Nebraska, United States, 2014)When we are lost in our journeys, we are most noticing, most sense- abled.
