Lynn and I just got back from two weeks in Blacksburg, Virginia, where we’d gone to visit our daughter Allison, working on her doctorate at Virginia Tech, her husband German, and their four boys. It was beautiful there with the Fall colors on brilliant display. Continue reading “Update: 11/11/21”
Thoughts about 911
Lately I’ve stopped posting my sermons in Spanish and English. I’m still preaching though! Today I thought I’d at least post the written English notes from yesterday’s sermon (I preached it in Spanish). I hope you’ll find them edifying.

Reading a great book by Dr. Ed Feser has prompted me to take note of a journey into Philosophy I’ve been on for many years.
