Because Sometimes, We Talk Too Much

Oh, let’s be honest. Where faith is concerned, it’s way easier to talk the talk than to walk the walk. This is my introductory column for Liguorian magazine. Hope you enjoy!

    Thank you all! The February column is actually up, too, but I’ll share that next week sometime. 🙂 They didn’t have the links available when I last checked, so that’s why I’m late in getting started sharing.

    aah, yes, talking too many things to death; beyond death possibly.

    I too wonder if thinking stops us from doing things. Like we suddenly remember all the reasons why maybe we shouldn’t do something, that we know in our hearts is good. For example, the man with the cup asking for money. If I have cash, (big if) I worry he’s going to spend it on drugs, or maybe he’s a big faker and will go home to his plush condo (I heard it happens from “a reputable source”. . .). In reality that’s on him, whereas what’s on me is if I notice him.

    sigh. I have serious control issues.

      The homeless example gets me all.the.time. A priest once said in a homily it doesn’t matter if they deserve it, if they will use it well, that the point is for us to give. OTOH, if we give and they use it for drugs, we’re helping them to do it. Tough call. :/
