New Year Resolutions

As we celebrate Christmas 2010, New Year 2011 and

Epiphany 2011, we again are reminded that a new year

is beginning.  With that comes new year resolutions.

In am resolving that in 2011 that I will try to spend more time

reflecting on the Word together with others.  In order

to do that I am joining a group of Christian leaders

in the Mahoning Valley to facilitate an ALPHA group

exploring the foundations of Christianity.  We will meet

every Wednesday starting Jan 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm

at the Boardman YMCA.  All are welcome.

I am also resolving to use the YMCA downtown more

frequently…….

What are some of your personal, spiritual or other

resolutions?

Pope discusses forces at work in the world….

Pope Denounces “Anonymous Capital”

Yesterday, while speaking at the Synod in Rome, Pope Benedict denounced the “false divinities” that litter our culture, and he listed the usual suspects of terrorism, drug abuse and violence. But, he added a new false god to the list: “anonymous capital.” Here is the key part of the text: “…let us remember the anonymous capital that enslaves man, which is no longer in man’s possession, but is an anonymous power served by men, by which men are tormented and even killed. It is a destructive power, that threatens the world.”
