God’s Diet

Today I saw a short video clip about people in areas who have a great percentage of people living to be 100 years old or more. It highlighted a couple of those areas. One was a small city in Italy. Their diet was mostly vegetarian. They only had meat a couple of times during the […]

Who’s To Blame?

Who’s To Blame?

I Found God today in reading this post that reminded me of the joy of working with youth.

A Close Relationship

I am super blessed to have a friend who knows me well and has for the past 23 years or so. When we lived far apart, we only spoke a couple times a year. But when I went back for a visit, we would always get together. I was so happy that we would be […]

A Card

I think that card writing is becoming a lost art. It is so easy to text or send off an email. Many times I say I will get around to it, then by the time I do it seems like an afterthought, so I don’t do it at all. But there is something special about […]

DWTS – Stories of Suffering

One of the things my mom and I enjoy is watching “Dancing With the Stars” together. Tonight the contestant’s dance was a representation of the most pivotal year of their life.

Red Sashes

Tonight I went to the Good Friday service at the church. As I sat down, I noticed a man a few rows in front of me that had a red piece of cloth draped over his shoulder like a sash. I looked around and saw that several people had the same red sashes. I wondered […]

Holy Thursday

I went to church tonight to celebrate Holy Thursday. The church was packed and it was one of the most beautiful services I have experienced. At this Mass, the scripture is read about the last night Jesus spends with his friends before He is killed. While they were having their meal – the Last Supper – […]

Not April Fools

Today – despite it being April Fools Day – I received news of wonderful things that happened. Quite a few years back, I was a Confirmation sponsor for a wonderful young lady. Since then she has graduated from high school and college. She wanted to be a high school teacher, but struggled taking the certification […]
