Day 158 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Four Last Things (Part V)
Friday, August 21, 2020 – Today we get to talk about the fun topic of everlasting damnation, or as it is commonly known in the four last things: HELL. Much like heaven, hell is a bit difficult for our minds to wrap around. There is no greater joy than Heaven—being face-to-face with God, your creator, Read More
Day 157 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Four Last Things (Part IV)
Thursday, August 20, 2020 – Heaven. How does one even begin to describe the magnificence that is HEAVEN? How does one even remotely understand the eternal glory and unending joy of being face-to-face with our Creator for all eternity? Well, here is what the Catechism says about Heaven (Spoiler Alert: even the Catechism admits heaven Read More
Day 156 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Four Last Things (Part III)
Wednesday, August 19, 2020 – I think one of the hardest things for people to wrap their heads around in the four last things is: JUDGMENT. We modern humans spend a lot of time sniping at each other and making silly little judgments about one another, while simultaneously misquoting and vastly misunderstanding the ONLY two Read More
Day 155 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Four Last Things (Part II)
Tuesday, August 18, 2020 – Today we start digging deeper into each of the four last things, and we will start with DEATH. Nobody likes to talk about death.

Day 154 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Four Last Things (Part I)
Monday, August 17, 2020 – Right, so I let Mr. Flusche pick what we talk about next, and he decided we needed a primer on the four last things. He was in a foul mood at the time because of the weather, but it is a good topic. Frankly, it is a necessary topic given Read More
Day 151 – Let’s Talk About Community
Friday, August 14, 2020 – In order to have a proper discussion about community in Catholic terms, we would need to read the many lengthy sections in the Catechism about community. Then we would need to move into the similarly lengthy sections on the existence of man, natural and divine law, moral law, fundamental rights, Read More
Day 150 – Let’s Talk About Kindness
Thursday, August 13, 2020 – Today we are going to cover the word kindness. While there is not a specific definition in the Catechism, there is a deeper understanding of the word in Catholicism than the general dictionary entry. This is because kindness is one the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. So, let’s define the Read More
Day 149 – Let’s Talk About Humility
Wednesday, August 12, 2020 – There is a sad trend that has been happening over the last…oh…55 years. We have seen a stark decline in basic Catholic knowledge, and I mean BASIC! This, coupled with the meme / cancel culture we have today, has made for some serious cringe-worthy moments. Seriously! My head is in Read More
Day 144 – Captain’s Log: Throwdowns of Each Holy Day of Obligation
Friday, August 7, 2020 – Blessed First Friday! Well, this brings us to the last of our Captain’s Logs (for now). I still need to do one for the monthly devotionals, but given that I currently only have three months (June – August) done, it doesn’t really make sense to do a whole captain’s log Read More
