Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston It is not just because the above picture is a beautiful shot that I published it (though that helped). I first met Tony and his wife, Amanda, Trippi six years ago. They hosted a talk just north of Dallas for me. The night before, I had dinner with the volunteers who had […]
Read More Roses in the Cultural DesertBy Charlie Johnston I am working on a big piece. In the fits and starts I go through while on the road, the trouble is the balance between getting something up and giving it the time and care it needs to be just right. Besides this site, I do a piece for the newsletter every […]
Read More Joyfully Plugging Away on the Road to MordorBy Charlie Johnston I am going to cover some important ground today. It is not new ground, but it is downright flinty in how hard it is. People are not usually ready for such until they have had some serious setbacks and reversals – and found things are not quite as they have confidently believed. […]
Read More Drill Deep to Find What Trust Really Means(Our own Sheryl Collmer, editor of the CORAC Newsletter, published this magnificent piece at the Tyler, Texas website, Truth for Souls. It is so good, I had to republish it here in its entirety-CJ) By Sheryl Collmer Gandalf: The board is set… the pieces are moving. The fate of the world will now be decided. Like Sauron’s […]
Read More Mordor is ComeBy Charlie Johnston I was involved in an auto accident Sunday that could have been – and possibly should have been – fatal. I came out of it unscathed – and my car came out of it practically unscathed, too. I was eastbound on I-40, around 10 miles out of Amarillo. I was going 75 […]
Read More On Dangerous GroundBy Charlie Johnston American Bishops who are committed to living orthodox faith with fidelity to the teachings of Christ and the Apostles have begun to work in concert with each other. The most notable example is the list of Bishops who have publicly supported San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone in his decision to bar House […]
Read More Some Strategic Advice for Noble BishopsBy Charlie Johnston I have come to believe that when an eternal heavenly decree becomes operative in time, it does not usually change things all at once. Rather, it sets a process in motion which will accomplish what God intends. As it is written in Isaiah 55:10-11, “For as the rain and the snow come […]
Read More Desolate No MoreBy Charlie Johnston Yet another mass shooting, this time at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Yet another opportunity for the left to call for more gun control (while they simultaneously call to defund the police) and denounce “white supremacy,” even though the alleged killer this time is an Hispanic. We have entered an era […]
Read More Big LiesBy Charlie Johnston A Priest contacted me last week to let me know that the prior week a dear family member was dying. Doctors were baffled about why his organs were shutting down and did not have any ideas about how to stop it. The Priest told me that he prayed and contemplated the Brazen […]
Read More Our Hope is in GodBy Charlie Johnston I have engaged in discussion the last few days with some pro-abortion folks on Twitter. It has been simultaneously frustrating, enlightening and a little heartening. Some friends say it won’t be long before Twitter bans me for some bit of fact they don’t like. We’ll see. The winds of change are blowing […]
