Some Reflections on Groundhogs
2008-09-10 18:09:00 I am certainly a giant appreciating fan of the whole groundhog thing. That’s right. I love ‘em. (Check out my myspace (which I havent changed in about 2 months) www.myspace.com/rengawman) I think they are the coolest of the rodent family. I mean, I met this one groundhog in New Jersey named Harvey. Cool guy- slicked ... More About: Reflections
More Popcorn Memories
2008-09-08 17:56:00 I was so touched by the popcorn festival here in Marion, Ohio, that I made a little tribute video. Get the kleenex’s ready! May the 3 days of the Festival, condensed into this two minute video, touch your hearts, as the festival touched me. There is a picture of ACTUAL popcorn, somewhere in the video… More About: Popcorn , Memories

2008-09-06 22:20:00 This weekend marked the 1 billionth popcorn festival in Marion history. Even before the earth cooled, there was popcorn.

Some Homilies
2008-05-05 15:27:00 Well as some of you may have heard I have recently returned to public ministry after almost a year of a personal leave of absence granted by Bishop Campbell.

Self-Love Vs. Selfishness
2008-03-04 20:20:00 When I was in High School and still living at home, we had a Sunday tradition that we engaged in religiously. We would all get up in the morning, go to Mass at St. Paul’s church in Westerville, Ohio (know in those days simply as the ‘Ville) (OK, I was the only one who called ... More About: Love
Network of Supporters
2008-03-03 21:13:00 They are following me. A whole group of people. Sure you can’t always see them. But I know they are there- watching me. They are in the sky, on the ground- they are listening to my every word… bespectacled eyes leering at me through square glasses. I am talking about my network- my Verizon Network .

I was able to go with one of my dearest and closest friends to a retreat house in Fremont, Ohio, Our Lady of the Pines, run by the Sisters of Mercy.

Curiosity Didn?t Kill the Cat, It Made Him a Better Cat
2008-02-22 17:50:00 Recently I joined a networking group named Amspirit, which meets every Tuesday morning at 7:30. Now you know something must be good if I am willing not only to get up at 7:30, but even earlier to drive 20 minutes to something that STARTS at 7:30. If that isn’t a resounding endorsment for the Amspirit ... More About: Made , Kill , Curiosity
The Best Way to Re-Commit: Don’t
2008-02-19 17:27:00 A couple of years ago, I began a journey- a journey to make myself look, feel, and act, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I have thus far failed. It turns out I can’t even do an Austrian accent, although I have known several Austrians, and have even worked out once in Vienna, I have failed to reach the epic 1970’s proportions of everyone’s favorite body builder. He is going to pump you up! When I embarked on that journey, I embarked with a bunch of zeal, and for three straight months, I lifted three times a week, built up my strength and my muscles, and watched the numbers on the sheet I was writing my stats on rise with every week that I lifted. Certainly, I did not turn out like Arnold, but the lifting and the physical exercise made me feel incredible. It is something I try to maintain in one way or another all the time in my life. I wish I had a program that I could click and be more buff! It is funny though, after about three months I hit a plateau. The n...
A Little Deviation at the Beginning Can Mean Big Trouble at the End: Life R
2008-02-13 16:25:00 A few years ago, my Boy Scout Troop went on one of our patented camp outs. I used to love campouts, simply because it always gave us the excuse and the opportunity to eat chili. Chili was a staple of our Boy Scout Troop. It was tasty, it was easy to make, and it was ... More About: Life
Instant Gratification Doesn?t Always Mean Instant Success
2008-02-06 16:23:00 When I was a kid I rarely got mail. I am not sure that there are many kids that get a lot of mail, although I am sure that since even 3 year old have email now, they at least get the same spam from the widows of African Generals who just need to borrow ... More About: Success
The Myth of Perfection: If You Want to Live, You Have to Grow
2008-02-05 03:09:00 Before last January, I haven’t run more than about 12 feet since I was about 12 years old. Running is a hard thing to do for me- you have to sweat for one. Of course, I don’t sweat, rather I glow. My glowing is really wet and stinky though. An artist’s rendition of me sweating… I have ... More About: Live , Perfection , Grow , Myth
Light and Darkness: The Problem of Evil and How it is Overcome
2008-01-31 15:31:00 As I write this post, I am sitting in one of my favorite green lazy-boy-chairs in my living room, in front of two halogen light bulbs atop a tall red tri-pod. Yep… I am sitting in front of two blindingly bright lights that my brother lent me. Maybe this sounds dumb, or insane, but as a ... More About: Evil , Problem , Light , Overcome , Darkness
?Everybody Hurts? Tips on Dealing with Grief?
2008-01-26 23:28:00 Sometimes I have that REM song go through my mind- not the one about “Shiny Happy People,” (which caused me to lose respect for REM) (And it was so sugary sweet that my teeth hurt… I do like that lady from the B-52’s though), but that other one, “Everybody Hurts.” Here is the video of ...

Love and Fear
2008-01-23 20:41:00 A few years ago, I was able to help a local High School participate in a “ropes course.” A ropes course is something lets lets us all bring out the “Inner Tarzan.” I guess some people can have an “Inner Jane” as well, or some mixture of both Tarzan and Jane. I am sure if ... More About: Love , Fear
