One Thing, Jesus Christ - Article #10 -  Sixth Series - November 6th, 2023 by Fr. Ben Daghir
Article:
Jesus says, “Let your yes mean yes, and your no mean no.” 
The word “decision” has Latin roots (decidere and caedere). The prefix de means “off” and caedere means “to cut.” In other words, to make a decision is to “cut something off.” We make a decision when we look at options (whether two options or more) and cut off the options we don’t want. We do this all of the time
Think about going through the McDonald’s drive-thru. “I would like a #4 meal, please. Medium. Coke.” At that moment, we cut (like scissors on paper) all the other meal options and sizes. When I chose to become a Roman Catholic priest, I cut off the other options (single man, monk, husband) in deciding. When someone chooses to marry an individual, he/she cuts off the billions of other men/women throughout the world in deciding to marry one specific person.
To be clear, making a decision demands that we cut the other options. Now, let’s return to Christ in this Gospel verse. Jesus is demanding that we make a decision, that we cut the other options like scissors going through paper. He is demanding that we live according to the Gospel, we forgive, we are completely committed to God, we follow the commandments, and we are faithful to the vows we have taken. 
In other words, Jesus wants us to make decisions. He wants us, like scissors slicing through paper, to decide Him in every aspect of our lives and among all the options. And, like the leftover paper scraps that fall to the floor, our old ways of living, our bad habits, our sinful actions, etc. must be cut off. It’s the demand of the Gospels. We must decide to have our “yes” mean yes and our “no” mean no.

If the news story is from MSN, I guarantee its a lie. They haven't told the truth since before 2015.

The pillar that is the base for the Statue of Liberty on the Susquehanna is looking like it needs some attention. This will be no small task but then again placing the statue here was no small task either and was done twice that I am aware of. > Tom Dorsey

I spent a few days at our “cabin” in Mifflin County last week, getting it ready for winter and, of course, spending some time with the birds.  I'm still processing some of the photos I got, but here's one that is my favorite.  I was in the kitchen.  I often shoot (with my camera, I hasten to mention) through the kitchen window when at the cabin, which is about 60 feet from a patch of woods, quite thick with hemlocks, oaks and poplars.  I was standing in the kitchen with my camera when this blue jay shot out from under some hemlock branches, right up to the window sill, scolding the daylights out of me.  It wasn't happy.  But, I welcomed this unique break from my morning routine! > John Boor

You could have stuck a fork in Pence a long time ago.  He was done before he even got started.  Pence should have never turned on President Trump.
