Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Golden, Colorado – I was up in Colorado to give a talk last Sunday. I was pretty pleased, as we had plenty of old friends, a good chunk of new ones, and a lot of energy. I told them that, though the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is on the horizon, they […]
Read More Renewal Starts From WithinBy Charlie Johnston Five things I’m pondering… Inversion of Church and State A bizarre dispute has arisen between the State of Florida and Miami Catholic Archbishop Thomas Wenski over Catholic school vaccine mandates, which the State of Florida forbids schools to mandate. What is bizarre about it is that the state’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, is […]
Read More Enough is EnoughBy Charlie Johnston It was a banner July for our little community here at A Sign of Hope. We were right about every aspect of Covid – and were one of the earliest to get it right. We didn’t use weasel words; we were full-throated about it. It absolutely gobsmacked me that, during the depraved […]
Read More Chickens Coming HomeBy Charlie Johnston I have been working deeply on what I think is a key project. We are in perilous times, but like Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities,” it is very much both the best of times and the worst of times. I think we are on the verge of having the fulness […]

I haven’t been eating lettuce, but I do eat a lot of fresh fruit. I think maybe God has been jesting with me a bit, saying, “Hey Charlie, when did I ever tell […]
Read More The Curtain RisesBy Charlie Johnston One of the devil’s most brilliant successes has been to embed the pharisaical instinct deeply into the human psyche. Few want the mundane honor of being God’s good servant, preferring the romantic drama of being God’s enforcer. The latter is the wide gate that leads to destruction while, as Christ said, the […]
Read More One Bread, One BodyBy Charlie Johnston Fifty years ago, during the Bicentennial year,. I was a young aide to Congressman Robert McClory. I was his driver and wrote some speeches and such for him. He spent most of his weekends in the district and the week in Washington. He left his car at a hotel he used during […]
Read More Forever May She WaveBy Charlie Johnston Up until I was in my late 40’s, I could not wear a watch. If I tried, within three days it would stop. Every time. If I took it off, after a few days it would start running again. But if I put it back on it would rarely last an hour. […]
Read More The Best of Times, The Worst of TimesBy Charlie Johnston Our reader and commenter, Judy, brought up the growing controversy over data centers being sited all around the country.
