Thought for the Day

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.
Judaeo-Christian belief that God made the universe and found it good is also the foundation for science, as I have explained in my ebook, “A Science Primer for the Faithful.” The Catholic Church was the midwife and nursemaid for science in the Middle Ages.
The house built on a rock.
An supporter of Western Civilization who does not value Christianity is a man sawing off the limb on which he sits.
It is a slippery slope, though.
Once you “value” Christianity, you begin to increasingly look to it for truth. As you approach the light that illuminates Christianity, you may fly so close that you are in danger. Indeed, you may ignite, and like a moth in a flame, have no hope to preserve the life you knew. But that is quite alright- in that moment of ignition, you have gained a far better Hope as the old man begins to burn away.
