About Me

Now you can hear my homilies if you like. Isn't technology great! Just press the forward button to see next entry. God bless the proclamation of His Word. Amen!


Married. My wife's name is Frances. We are still very much in love. She is God's gift to me. We have 14 grandchildren. I can't keep up with the birthdays any more. I am a Permanent Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. I am also a Registered Nurse. I work in hospice. In my two careers I get to see people as they start life's journey and as they end it. I am blessed by both. I don't know what the Lord wants of me at this point in my life, but I am willing to respond as He directs. Life is awesome and always totally amazing to me. I am never bored and there is never enough time to do, see, learn, experience all that I would like.
