Willis Tower Perspective

I took this photo from the ground at Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago, IL over the weekend. I also took a bunch of HD videos from the SkyDeck that I'll be putting together into a few minutes of video.

The Catholics Next Door - Appearance on The Catholic Channel

有種說法,如果將每一日都當作人生最後一日,那麼這種人生將會最有意義,我們所作的選擇也將全部正確,至少,即使真的要死了,也大概沒甚麼遺憾。而沒有人會這樣做的原因,或許世界上並無甚麼事情,是可以一日就完滿

婚外情

大人物拖著夫人向公眾交代「感情缺失」,神態自若,輕描淡寫,為天下負心漢立下對伴侶不忠的和諧榜樣,成為一時美談,差點讓人誤會婚外情已經變成合情合理,值得驕傲了!

每次看到類似場面,大眾都希望看到當事人的太
