Once again we're running behind. This time it's not due to undertaking more than we can handle, but due to severe illnesses in our family and other crosses to bear. (Thanks be to God for each cross helps us to see His face more clearly)

The Coming Economic Chastisement?
It's Not Coming. It's Here!
In January 2008, after watching the signs for over two years, I began to write about what is broadly perceived as the coming economic chastisement - the imminent collapse of the global economy. I asked readers: "Are we on the verge of another Great Depression? Are we on the brink of TEOTWAWKI?" (The End of the World As We Know It)
Some readers and friends thought I was alarmist. Just another Y2K fright-write. Not so now. Who could have imagined the financial debacle we now face?
I asked:
How should Catholics respond?
Will you be prepared?
It's later than you think. It's time to "buckle up" spiritually. Late this spring I was blessed to hear a talk and attend a Mass offered by an American exorcist who was assistant to the well known Father Gabriel Amorth, chief exorcist of Rome. He had a lot to say, but one phrase chilled me to the bone:
"I can count on less than the fingers of one hand the number of years remaining before all hell literally breaks loose."
I've been working on the final version of "The Coming Economic Chastisement" that will be complete with spiritual preparations and it will soon be available. In the meanwhile, here are preview chapters:
