10 Things for Catholic Dads | The Catholic Man Show

Lady Haylee and the kids spent an evening at the Niles place without Adam, and the grown-ups landed on a cheerful question: if your spouse dies, do you remarry? Dave settled this with Lady Pamela a while ago. In writing, he claimed, before Adam held him to account. If Dave goes first, she'll be well provided for and should go find herself a good man. If she goes first, with a four-month-old in the house, she'd better pray like nobody has ever prayed, because he'll be drowning and liable to make some rash decisions. As Adam heard it secondhand, their buddy Mark Gabriel took the opposite line: absolutely not. Adam wouldn't rule it out. A good wife is a companion in the pursuit of holiness, and that pursuit isn't over until you are. Dave has since ordered Lady Pamela, under holy obedience, not to die before him, which raised an urgent canonical question. Does holy obedience work over text?

Select International Tours When Adam and Dave started planning their first pilgrimage, everyone they asked pointed them to the same company. Having traveled with Select, they'd point you there too. Browse what's on offer at selectinternationaltours.com.

Dave was up at 5:30 that morning to get cows to the processor. After work he dug up and fixed a leaking water main, mostly because he forgot to set one clock back after the time change and thought he'd run out of time before Adoration. One leak down, one getting worse by the day. If you've never had a water leak, know that two men in Oklahoma are carrying that cross for you.

In the glass: a 15-year-old Benrinnes from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, a Speyside from a distillery neither of them knew. They're fans now. Rated in Jim's absence by two men speaking in persona Jim, it scored a seven on the yummy scale. A new world record, again. Thank you to the patrons who've kept this show going for ten and a half years.
