Under the Banner of Pride
I think I might be on to something. I heard that one fast food restaurant has hopped on the band wagon of the New Order and is publicly supporting practicing homosexuals. This "Proud Whopper" will add BK to the boycott list for me, but it also got me thinking...
The gay activists position is more clear to me. They are not so much interested in the sin of Sodomy. The Gay Agenda has stepped up their game. If you're going to sin, sin boldly! The activists bare "Pride" as the one word summation of their plight... Pride, the one sin to rule them all (and in the darkness bind them.) At the Gay Day marches the standard bearers not only wave the rainbow flag, they wave the one word that is so American, it flew right under my patriotic little nose. The problem is bigger than gays, abortion clinics, and strip clubs. The problem is America herself. She is the first country to cast off the king. She is the first country to echo Satan's cry: I will not serve. We are dealing sin which caused Lucifer to fall! It is no wonder that we are in the state we are in now. Truth is subject to majority rule which is crux of the problem. The only thing sadder than "laws" being overturned by liberal legislation is when good morals are only governing because we say they can. How sad indeed? We have dethroned God, and in His stead, placed ourselves. Uncle Sam says murder is against the law because it harms our neighbor. Rape is against the law because it hurts our neighbor. Theft is against the because it offends our neighbor. All the laws care about is neighbor, neighbor, neighbor- {basket ball buzzer noise} WRONG. Murder, rape and theft are wrong because they offend God first. The laws from sea to shining sea could care less what offends God. Human Rights are on the pedestal, now, and God will not allow this for much longer. But, God will allow it.
People can be ashamed of things they know they shouldn't do. But there is a progression. It must be rationalized in one's own mind. A house divided cannot stand. You will love the one and hate the other, or hate the one and love the other. That is the truest sentence written in this post.
This is why I think the homosexual marriage agenda is purely diabolical. Its no longer just letting people get away with sin... it's I'm your face!
So, it's logical that they fix the underlying problem! If you can somehow find a way to silence your conscience, forget everything your grandmother believed in, and take a word like "love"and strip it of it's true meaning, you can start to feel alright about yourself. There is no longer a good angel/bad angel complex. The good angel was kicked out a long time ago. (I should devote a whole message on how we knight get that angel back.) Once there's no guide rails and people tell you what your doing Is wrong the obvious response is "i know what's best for me"
Once it is "i know what's best for me" the next step is "how dare you tell me what to do." After it's "how dare you tell me what to do" the natural next step is "I am proud! And i demand respect!"
My sin is not a sin. In fact, my sin is to be exalted as the new truth.

Corpus Christi
I will be entering more thoughts later, but a picture of our little procession with the Blessed Sacrament to show we are proud to be Catholic and to demonstrate the Truth!

Solemn blessing of New Image
Here is what could be a working GIF (how I took it I don't know.) St Michael's is the new home of a image that has been touched to the Tilma of San Juan Diego. Our Lady of Guadalupe was solemnly blessed and she is ready to be venerated and to help you in your need.
The Virgin of Guadalupe, pray for us.

Fr. Walker and my father Walker
Here is a picture of a young man becoming a priest. He was called Father Walker everyday from then on. Fatherhood is not just having a baby (although that's the fastest way to stumble upon it.) A father sacrifices for his children. A father protects them from harm. He puts the good of his children before his own preservation or comfort. And in this he finds his own sanctification.
As I sit bedside next to another "father Walker" at St. Vincent's (while dad fights a pretty bad infection) I see a tired man struggling to get better. Why does he want to get better? I saw the reason as clear as crystal when he opened my sister's father's day present. A picture of his little granddaughter as precious as a cherub. His daughter holding her tight for the family she represents. He wants to have life, full of grace and truth. The fatherly example to pass on. Sacrificial love, tough decisions, strength, loyalty.
Fatherly virtue is not given. Its earned by special men who are faced with the easy choice and the choice a father has to make. My dad would be the first to admit he has made a few unwise choices in the past. However, he knew he owed it to his kids, his God, and himself to earn the name "Father." If you are a struggling man who has kids, and you're not making the choices a father would make, don't wait to change! The devil wants you to wait till tomorrow. Of you didn't have a father or don't have one now, come over and I'll share mine!
Father Walker and my father Dave Walker are two great examples if alter-Christs. One was slain and the other will die, too (hopefully not any time soon but inevitably like you and me.) They both know(knew) God wants those who are called to fatherhood to be the best they can fathers they can be. The Almighty provides the graces, let us ask that all fathers are brave enough to accept them and act!
St. Joseph, pray for us!

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
A quick "hello" to see if I still remember my password. And I promise to return and share with you all my thoughts more. It has been one year since I have blogged, and I mean to change that. I am tickled to see that I have something like 3,500 views to my page! And they can't all be me! Praying for you all.
St. Francis, pray for us.
St. Dominic, pray for us.
St. Jude, pray for us.
St. Augustine, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Mary, pray for us!

A Tour of St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Chapel. Jacksonville, Florida.
The New Church Hall is here!
The little chapel I attend has a new church hall. Here are some concepts of how it might look.
Concept 1. The stairs on the side of the porch.
Concept 2. The stairs in front, and a little area off to the side, perhaps for a statue.
Any feed back is welcomed!
