Happy Memorial Day to America!  As I passed by a few small town cemeteries today, I was touched to see so many people gathered around in prayerful remembrance of our beloved dead, especially those who died in wars to keep our country safe and free!

I am currently in Lincoln, Nebraska for the celebrations of a few Mount St. Mary’s Seminarians who were ordained this past weekend.

as well as some spiritual reflections about the Lincoln, NE priesthood ordinations.

I also have a recipe to help wake up the flavors of your summer steaks and grilled meats!  So, go ahead and subscribe. It’s free. It’s faithful. It’s for families.  And, it’s lots of fun!

By the way, I really like the architecture of the Omaha State Capital Building, but especially the inscription above the door. It says something like this:  ”The salvation of America depends on the attentiveness of its citizens.”  What a great thought to remember.  And, the statue of a man sowing seeds at the top of the building is rather impressive too!  Although, I kept telling the Lincoln seminarians that it looks like he’s dancing!
