Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Every person craves transcendent meaning in their life. For those whose hope is in God, that meaning is found in their hope of eternal life with their Creator. The means by which they seek to attain that goal is to love and serve God, primarily through loving and serving those around them. […]
Read More America’s Macbeth MomentBy Charlie Johnston I am hearing now from people who are upset over the “irresponsibility” of my take on experimental gene therapy being called a “vaccine.” You have seen a little of it in the comment section. I also get a lot of emails. Some are on the verge of hysterical – fact-free diatribes – […]
Read More Scouting the TerrainBy Charlie Johnston The pressure is mounting anew to force people to get the Covid jab to keep their jobs, get surgical procedures, or do normal communal things. This is un-American, of course, but the left hates America, anyway, so to them, that is a feature, not a flaw. I have said since last November […]
Read More Rocking the Boogie-Woogie Flu (Updated)By Charlie Johnston After all the hubbub from my last column, I was delighted to see a marvelous meditation by Fr. James Altman posted on the U.S. Grace Force website yesterday. It is insightful, it is bold, it is courageous, and it is charitable. This is the Fr. Altman who gave me heart for the […]
Read More A Gentle Ray of GraceBy Charlie Johnston It was a busy Memorial Day Weekend. May 30 is the Feast Day of St. Joan of Arc, but since it fell on a Sunday, was superceded by the Feast Day of the Holy Trinity. So, in America, we had a trinity of special celebrations this last weekend – Memorial Day, honoring […]
Read More Waiting for the Other Shoe…By Charlie Johnston I will be home later this week and expect to get back to a more regular publishing schedule. When I got on the road last November, Donald Trump was president, gas was a dollar a gallon cheaper, and Americans were not being arrested or declared “domestic terrorists” for having the ‘wrong’ opinion. […]
Read More The Widening GyreBy Charlie Johnston When I was a kid I used to gaze in wonder at cinematic depictions of lynch mobs. I just couldn’t get my mind around the idea that people could get so maliciously crazy that they wanted blood instead of justice…or that they hated someone so much that they didn’t care if he […]
Read More Ask Not for Whom the Lynch Mob Comes: It Comes for TheeFor those who may not be aware or who have not had the opportunity to view it, Charlie was interviewed by Fr. Richard Heilman and Doug Barry of the US Grace Force. Everything about this video is delightful and heartening, filled with signs of hope. Kick back and enjoy, Friends! I L.O.V.E. the title of […]
Read More Our Charlie with the US Grace ForceBy Charlie Johnston As it turns out, being sprinkled with ashes does not feel as solemn and serious as having your forehead thumbed with ashes by a Priest. It’s kind of like being anointed with silly string. Of course, one year into “two weeks to flatten the curve,” a lot of our religious practices seem […]
Read More Random Musings at the Start of LentBy Charlie Johnston Of late, I have taken to warning people that a key reason for deliberation and restraint is that the devil is inspiring people on the left to float specific false instances of evil practices they generally use in order to discredit criticism of those practices altogether. They hope that over-aggressive folks on […]
