A few days back we had National Pizza and Beer Day, which I chose to ignore since I’m not a huge fan of pizza and have never developed a taste for beer. While I know this is a sexist opinion, to me pizza and a beer is a guy thing.

Welcome to the second Sunday in October. Wow – second Sunday – time is just flying by. Today is National Clergy Appreciation Day. We are reminded to recognize all the good works of our ministers, pastors and priests.

Originally I had a totally different recipe set to share today. It was a cast iron bean dish that’s been shared before as part of a supporting dish for a whole western thing. I thought it would be nice to bring the dish center stage.

I can think of many reasons NOT to live in California. Crime (especially in large cities) is up. Housing is outrageous, leading to more and more homelessness. Throughout the pandemic, the restrictions have been crushing.

Sometimes history and faith intertwine and the perspective of the faithful cannot be separated from the events of the day. The Holy League existed. They won a decisive victory over the Ottoman Fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in the Gulf of Patras on October 7, 1571. Of that there is no doubt.

How is your October going thus far? Hard to believe just how quickly another year is slipping by. It’s been a rocky year. As a Conservative Catholic, I just need to keep my head down and muddle through. The political stage hasn’t been very pretty from a conservative prospective.

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi. He is the patron saint of animals and the environment.

Nearly every site that tracks and promotes National Days tells us that tomorrow is National Taco Day. Yet there is one lone site that promotes Taco Day today. And not just any taco, but soft tacos. If you ask my guys, nearly every day should be taco day. And those that aren’t are pizza days.

A belief in guardian angels isn’t exclusive to Christians. Guardian Angels can be found throughout all antiquities. Babylonians and Assyrians testified to the existence of Guardian Angels through the art that once decorated palaces. Bible doctrine on the subject is clear. Yet one does not have to embrace a religious foundation to believe in angels, especially Guardian Angels.

Welcome to the first day of October. While we might have officially moved to the Autumn Season back on September 22, in the hearts of most of us, October truly embodies the season. The world seems to slow down just a bit in October.

Who doesn’t like Pizza, besides me. Okay, it’s not that I don’t like pizza. As a kid pizza was a treat. As a teenager, pizza was date night after the game. As an adult for a time pizza was a necessity.

Today the Church honors the Holy Archangels. While the Church acknowledges that there are seven Archangels, only three are mentioned by name in Scripture; Gabriel, Michael and Raphael. Of the three, only Michael is specifically called an Archangel.
