Thought For The Day
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
We mock death!
Satan is toast. Live free or die? Nah…Live free and die. We are Christs..bought and paid for.
Marcus Aurelius, though no friend of Christianity, had the right idea about smiling back at death.
No, *Americans* have a strange relationship with death.
Either “There ain’t nothing man so live it up!”
Or “Gee golly everybody goes to Heaven except Hitler so let’s talk about something else.”
Or “That’s a long way away. Let’s talk about pop culture some more.”
Momento Mori. No man is guaranteed tomorrow.
