Choosing Darkness

by Robert Maniscalco | Jan 19, 2023 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, World View | 0 Comments

I finally figured out why I do insanely stupid things like marrying for the wrong reasons, spending too much time in toxic relationships, getting back surgery to prevent more back pain, or even getting myself sexually assaulted when I was 14, at an age which someone...

The Rights of Children in a Pro Birth Society

by Robert Maniscalco | Jan 3, 2023 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, World View | 0 Comments

When Does Life Begin? If we’re honest, let us concede for a moment that life begins at conception. The instant a seed finds and combines with an egg, a soul comes into being. So, if we are talking about institutionalizing the sanctity of life, we must do away with...

Vote Tuesday – Democracy is in the Balance

by Robert Maniscalco | Nov 6, 2022 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, World View | 0 Comments

Wake up! This isn’t about inflation or “sleepy Joe.” It’s about fascism; it’s about the end of our democratic system, already weakened. Their plan is to tie up the election process; they are planting people who will sow more and more doubt until we give up and finally...

The Keto Diet and the Meaning of Life

by Robert Maniscalco | Aug 12, 2022 | CSA Advocacy, Fine Art, Motivational, Random Favorites, Theatre Related, World View | 0 Comments

When one reaches a certain age, it becomes next to impossible to lose weight. I've tried so many diets. They don't work anymore. But I’ve lost almost 20 pounds (so far) on the Keto diet. Here’s my theory: We Homo sapiens were cursed early on to live, eat and die along...

The Visitors

by Robert Maniscalco | Aug 9, 2022 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, Theatre Related, World View | 0 Comments

Today, visitors who said they were from another planet stopped by to give us a cup of sugar. One of them said, “it looks like you will need this.” I said to them, “of all the things you could bring us from your world, why would you choose a cup of sugar?” They seemed...

End the Violence

by Robert Maniscalco | Aug 3, 2022 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, World View | 0 Comments

Violence can no longer be put forth as a solution to our problems. As the President recently said in his Philidelphia address, "it is not normal." It should not become a part of the political discourse. It has always been the way in this country. But violence has been...

Welcome to Psalm Punday! Today, we live in a world of guns and violins. Personally, I don’t condone violins. I’m rather partial to violas. Seriously, thanks for having me here at the All Souls Waccamaw Unitarian Universalist Church. We tried this once before. And then...

Freedom and Truth

by Robert Maniscalco | Feb 12, 2022 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, World View | 0 Comments

Plausible Truths In light of the trucker protests, essentially weaponizing their trucks and the anti-vax movement at large, my measured conclusion is that ignorance is a fatal disease. Not getting vaccinated may kill you and others. As we pray for the future of a...

The Solution to Violence

by Robert Maniscalco | Dec 1, 2021 | CSA Advocacy, Motivational, World View | 0 Comments

I am so proud of Congresswoman Debbie Dingell. Many of you may not know it, but her mother was married to my late father for many years. So she was my step sister, in what is now another lifetime ago. Now, I watch from afar, in great admiration. She is on the...
