I’ve posted another Lunch Break episode to the site this morning.
I’ve never liked to be in long discussions where everything begins with “this nation” or something like that. Sure, we do live in an era where society pretty much tries to run itself as though God doesn’t exist. However, we can do our part to bring a whole nation back to Our Lord, but we’ll need to do it wherever we are with whomever we can reach.

I’m posting the fourth episode of my Lunch Break edition early so that it will be up in time for Divine Mercy.
Here I talk about the mercy of God and how a right understanding of it is necessary to have the right attitude towards sin. Otherwise, we run the risk of falling into either presumption or despair.

I’ve posted my third Lunch Break episode entitled “Exercise and Virtue.” I was a bit out of breath on this one, and you can tell by listening. I was talking a walk and talking into my iPhone. Someday soon I hope to get a real field recorder, but this will have to do for now.
Have a Happy Easter! Alleluia! He is risen!

I have just published the second episode of my Lunch Break edition of the podcast.
This basically is a podcast version of a post I did earlier on the blog. So far, it has been fun getting these episodes together. I’ve already got one more recorded, and hopefully you’ll see it next week.

After a two-year hiatus, I am pleased to bring you another podcast episode.
I decided that I’d take on giving my view of the Affordable Care Act, trying to be as objective as I could for the first segment. I go over some good aspects as well as some actual and potential problems that may result. After that, I talk about the serious problem that is the mandate that all insurance plans provide free contraception.
While I hope to produce some more shows like this in the near future, I’m going to be trying something new in an effort to get more podcast content out. I am starting a new show that I will call the “Lunchbreak edition” of the podcast. It will be shorter (one segment only), less scripted, and less edited than my main show, but hopefully you’ll see it more often. I’ve already started recording, so look for the first one soon on this blog. It will be in a separate feed from the main show, so if you wish to subscribe, you’ll need to subscribe separately.

At really long last, here is another podcast episode.
Yana got me Adobe Audition for Mac for Christmas, so I’m putting it to good use. The sound may be a bit different because I was doing completely new settings on my post-production plug-in. I think my Ozone 3 is due for an upgrade, don’t you?
Anyway, in the span of about 18 minutes, I make a valiant attempt to shed some light on two common misunderstandings of our day. This was prompted by the YouTube video that went viral entitled “Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus.” The first part is about the video and some things that are wrong with it. I end it with what’s right from the video.
Then, I tackle the irresponsible statement often heard, in some form or another, that obeying the law doesn’t matter as long as we love. This is one of those topics that inspired me to name the blog and podcast “It Really Does Matter.” The reason is that, as you may have guessed, it really does matter.

If you’ve seen my Twitter feed, you know he was actually born a just over six weeks ago. So, this is a bit late. In fact, it’s been busy. I recorded this when he was 15 days old, and I’m just now posting it.
I’ll post a blog for an update on him.

At long last, I got Episode 11 of the podcast published.
I think my last blog post will tell you what took me so long. In fact, I wonder how the sound will work for others because I migrated computers after recording but before finishing the post production.
This will almost certainly be the last episode before my son is born. Also, it’s my longest and probably my most technical episode. These were both topics I felt I needed to talk about even though they are a strange combination.
The Cloud really can be a great thing for computing, but it has its drawbacks. There are some definite advantages and disadvantages I wanted to cover. The new Mass translation is something I first blogged about a few years ago. This time I just weighed in with a concise explanation of why we need it. Unlike others, I think we’ve been waiting too long for it.

I’ve made it to the tenth episode of the podcast.
Since I haven’t covered anything fun for a little while, I thought I’d talk about . . . well . . . another sort of conversion I experienced in 2006. Then, I get serious. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of hearing about how “oppressive” or “heavy-handed” the Church is when someone who spreads false teaching is disciplined. There are three recent well-known cases that I dive into and show how these adjectives are not warranted. One of them is the removal of Bishop William Morris from his diocese in Australia. His case had actually drawn on for year.
The story includes a video of how people are “shocked” and “angered.” Would that people be so “shocked” and “angered” because false teaching is being presented in the name of the Church!
