This purpose of this web site is to present several topics which include some of the things which I find of interest and which I would like to share with others.

 

My hobby is ferroequinology.  It also includes peridromophily. 

Ferro--iron, equin--horse, ology--learning.  Iron horse was the name for the locomotive.

Peri--round, dromos--running, phily--collecting.  Taking trolley trips  was a way of running around.

So come on in to Don's Depot.

 

I found that the most joy in life is my faith.  I have found that the Catholic Church is the Church given to all of us by Jesus Himself.  After 2000 years, it is THE Church.  For information, I have found one of the best sources is the Eternal Word Television Network.

 

The largest denomination in America is the ex-Catholic group.  The reason is that many were baptized but never given any real formation on their church life.  In addition, after the Vatican II, many thought it was necessary to "modernize" the teachings of the Church.  I was guilty with so many other teachers.  We pushed the mooshy approach.  We showed how to make banners.  But we failed to spend time showing the tremendous storehouse of Scripture and Traditions.  Now many are finding their way back in to the Church.

 

Another web site is Coming Home Network.  Marcus Grodi was a Presbyterian minister who discovered the truth of the Catholic Church.  It was a difficult matter since he had to give up his ministry in order to accept Truth.  It was more important to be honest regardless of the painful results.  This site now gives witnesses by many ministers who have made this move and also laity who also found the way to Home.

 

Every day in America, we have 4000 babies murdered by abortion.  1 out of every 5 pregnancy will be killed.  We worry about those dying by AIDS, accidents, heart attacks, shootings, and all those horrible things, but they have little comparison to those dying by abortion.  You would get information at the Priests for Life.  The feet of a 10 week baby are the way.

 

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

  1. the sanctity of human life
  2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
  3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
