Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston All right, while I am on the road I am going to have give up on the posts that take me 15-25 hours worth of effort and, instead, just give little updates on a catch as catch can basis. My dear friend, Sr. Mary Clare, and Sr. Charista Maria, gained canonical status […]

Read More Warped Perceptions of RealityBy Charlie Johnston Woe to those who call evil good and good evil – Isaiah 5:20 There is an old saying that a guilty man tries to hide all the evidence he can because he doesn’t know which piece, if revealed, will convict him. Similarly, an innocent man tries to get as much evidence out […]
Read More A Time to Choose – Short TakesBy Charlie Johnston As I write this, all tell me that Carolyn Jones, the Texas woman we’ve been writing about, is doing well. Once again, thank you for stepping up to the plate on this one. You were God’s hands and feet – and saved a life. The inside story of what was happening is […]
Read More Sounding the Seventh Trumpet – Short TakesBy Charlie Johnston We are booked pretty solid through late June for my speaking tour this year – in the Midwest, New England, and New York. Come mid-July I have some stops in Florida. There is a little hole in the first half of July. I can use this to visit longer with family, but […]

A very hostile and partisan team of prosecutors was unable to find anything they were willing to put their necks on the line for in formal accusations against Pres. Donald Trump. Even so, Congressional Democrats and the establishment media are determined to play political alchemists, hoping […]
Read More May Shapes Up to be Very Consequential – Short TakesBy Charlie Johnston Some years back I was visiting my son when the local Bishop celebrated Mass at his Parish and then stayed for a rather lengthy reception. My son was standing by the punch bowls when the Bishop took a short break to come get a drink. Young Charlie looked at him with a […]
Read More Real People, Real Faith, Real Hope – Short TakesBy Charlie Johnston It is ironic that the most smugly self-righteous generation in our nation’s history will likely be looked at with revulsion by future generations for having knowingly perpetrated one of the great atrocities of history. Despite science proving that a child is fully human from the moment of conception, this generation insists on […]
Read More Short Takes: The Battle for Life, an Early Feminist and…Go Chiefs!By Charlie Johnston Adolf Hitler is a monster unique to modern history. He largely is the answer to the theoretical question of what would happen if a psychotic serial killer gained pre-eminent power over a great nation. Thus, it is often truly said that the first person who brings up Hitler in a political argument […]
Read More Short Takes – Deceptions, Both Malignant and Ignorant; Christmas Movies and…Puppy SlippersBy Charlie Johnston I know a little something about extended hikes, having walked 3,200 miles across much of the country in 2011 and 2012.
