    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I was fifty-one years old, and I had bought a pair of ladies’ stretch denim pants in 1988 at the Cherry Hill Mall in southern New Jersey. I was about to get a definitive answer. I was no longer twenty years old, and I still hadn’t fully exhaled. I wasn’t getting out of these pants by myself.

    #2 The first step in getting help is to admit that you have a problem. I could tell from the substantial tension my lower extremities were under that if I'd tried to sit down in that moment, I'd have set off a powerful explosion, sending spandex shrapnel into every corner of our walk-in closet.

    #3 The further I’ve walked into my adult life and the more open I’ve been to being surprised and changing my mind, the more I’ve realized that God is getting bigger than I’m able to contain him in my current space.

    #4 When people say they are spiritual but not religious, they are usually trying to say that they’ve left their God box and are looking for a bigger one. They are telling you that they have either willingly left or been evicted from the place they once called home.

      The Shame Of The Catholic Church

      Nov 15, 2018

      One doesn't have to be Roman Catholic or even Christian to recognize the great good the Catholic Church has done. America would be worse off were it not its pro-life stance and numerous acts of charity. But good works are sometimes diluted or even ov
