Divine Mercy Wisdom
The week after Easter is “Divine Mercy Sunday” in the Catholic Church. The purpose is to help people connect with the infinite grace and mercy that is available to us through Jesus Christ.

63 Years of Marriage
Today is my parent’s 63rd wedding anniversary. We started the day by going to church. My dad bought my mom a rose corsage that she proudly wore to publicize the special day. I had called the church office a few days ago to see if my parents could get a special blessing. My mom and dad did not […]
TWLOHA
Today a wonderful young woman I know organized a 5K run for an organization that in her words, “is very important to me.” It is called, “To Write Love On Her Arms”. It started with a story that a young man wrote about his encounter with a young woman who was battling depression, addiction, self-mutilation, […]

We continue to go through the Resurrection story as the Easter season goes through Pentecost – 50 days after Easter. This morning we read a little more about when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus only to find that […]
For the Love of Dogs
One of the windows in the house has a view of the intersection of two streets, so we can see about a dozen houses and all the activity. The corner house has two dogs that are very well trained and behaved – a big black lab and a smaller black and white whippet type. It is […]
Brother Comes Home
A few months ago, one of my brothers decided he was going to move back to be closer to family. He is at a point in his life now where he is able to make these kind of decisions. He is single and not working, so is a pretty free bird! He packed up his truck, […]
Cooking Day
A long time ago, I learned that it is important to do what I can when I can. I have had physical restrictions almost my entire life. There have been several times when I wondered how much I would be capable of doing. For example, a few years ago I had a terrible time with […]
