Regardless of what the groundhog said, winter's grip will be over on February 14. The good news... I'm not preaching that weekend, so I can pull an all-nighter watching back-to-back episodes of season 2. Francis Underwood, I'll be watching.

Phenomenal photo taken over the weekend from City Island in the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg. Dare I say that at the same time I was in Atlanta for a very quick overnight trip to speak at a conference there: 60 degrees and sunny on Saturday, despite the crippling ice storm a few days earlier.

Wednesday evening of this week — come here a fascinating talk about something vital to the Christian faith: the truth of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Did it really happen? Dr. Steven Smith (MA, Wheaton College, PhD, Loyola University of Chicago), a parishioner and a professor of Sacred Scripture at Mount Saint Mary's Seminary, will examine the evidence and the arguments against the historicity of the Resurrection. 7pm in the parish church, just minutes from the Gettysburg Pike exit of the PA Turnpike, and a minute less than that from US Route 15.

Under the competent guidance of our Emcee Dr. Ed Arke, teams competed fiercely tonight in the parish Trivia Night. Head drawn low in shame I admit that I walked away humbled: my team did not prevail, though I'm convinced the winning team cheated. I don't know how they did it, but next year I'll be watching!

The prophet Isaiah, the great prophet of the rights of the downtrodden, proclaimed that God had “formed me as his servant from the womb” (Is 49: 5). This ties together the 2 moments of civil rights that we celebrate in the coming week.

On January 15, 1929, Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. was born. His work led to fundamental rights being recognized for a class of persons. 44 years and 1 week after his birth, the United States Supreme Court removed the fundamental right to life from another class of persons.

That Rev. Dr. King had a dream. I am another Rev. Dr. King. I have a nightmare.

My nightmare is this: that on the Day of Judgment, when I stand before the throne of God, the chilling voices of the 60 million unborn martyrs killed since Roe v. Wade will cheer me on to Hell, because while they were being slaughtered in the womb I did so little to save them.
