Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

I just heard that a young woman with whom my teenage daughter worked this summer died unexpectedly of a blood clot.

Pray for her soul, please.

Stay confessed. You know not the hour nor the day.

I’m seeing reports out of Minneapolis that there has been a shooting at annunciation Catholic Church and School. Students returned Monday for a new school year and would have been in the church for Mass at the time of the shooting.

A news anchor in the Twin Cities just said on air, “Probably a lot of parents have picked up their kids from other schools in light of this event and decided to keep them home today.”

Folks, it doesn’t need to be said, but you his is just one small reason why I keep my kids home all the time.

God have mercy on us all.

Clearly, I’ve been lagging in my posts lately. Summer is winding down and things are getting back to normal (or whatever passes).

I’ve got a funny story to tell that I hope to publish soon.

Meanwhile, please continue to pray for me and for my family. The kids are continuing with their schoolwork (we homeschool) and beginning some college classes too!

I will continue to pray for you.

St. Rita, pray for us!

Pray for our priests.

This thing is my touchstone. Every year since I was ten, I’ve glanced down the road at the balloon for a brief moment. Every year it’s still there. I wonder if it’s anchored there. Sometimes I imagine that the people in the basket are stuck and waiting for someone to rescue them.

There used to be a farmhouse somewhere out there. They’d ask me to look at that too. They stopped showing me the farmhouse about three years ago. I understand it was struck by an EF-5 tornado. Sad really.

And for those of you who don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, congratulations! You have perfect vision and have never been for an eye exam. And I hate you. Not really but you get the point.

St. Lucy. Pray for us!

Came across an article about how Catholics need to “care for the earth” and “confess environmental sins” or some such nonsense.

I think I’ll borrow my friend’s diesel 2 ton dually and roll coal on a white Prius.
