Jesus Calling
I was so happy to connect to my prayer group via Facetime tonight. Even though I am not able to be there in person and it has been a while since I have talked with them, it is as beautiful as a biological sisterhood. We are able to talk to each other safely about whatever is […]
It’s Good to be Little
I thought I was doing pretty good reading my book for the “retreat” I am participating in. We meet once a week for 10 weeks and have a reading assignment for each week. I looked over the schedule again this morning and realized that I still had quite a bit to read. After getting the daily […]
He Told My Story
Tonight I went to a meeting at the church to learn about how I might be able to help support teens who are in foster care. At one point the presenter was asked how he came to work for the organization that is launching this new program. The presenter said he is a psychologist who worked […]
Influential MLK
It was unusually quiet when I went for an early morning walk. I was reminded that it was a holiday – the day we honor Martin Luther King Jr. Yesterday I heard a reporter talk about him and it started me thinking. The reported commented that Martin Luther King Jr. was a prophet – even […]
Demaryius Thomas and mom
I do enjoy watching football. Before the Broncos/Steelers game I heard the announcers talk about Demaryius Thomas’ mother who was going to be able to see him play in person for the first time in his career. Evidently she was incarcerated, recently released, and able to make the trip to Denver. I looked into the […]
Lifelong Friendship
My sister’s birthday is coming up. Yesterday she, her son, and my other sister came over. We spent the evening visiting, laughing, and decorating the birthday cake. Today we three sisters went shopping and got the birthday girl some nice outfits, particularly for a big work meeting she has coming up. Back at home we […]
Story of Patience and Kindness
Today someone shared a story from a Facebook page called, “Love What Matters”. People share their wonderful experiences for all to read. This particular story involved a young man who was a cashier at a store. The author was in a hurry – as most of us are – with children in tote. In front […]
Mom’s Dance
My mom has been struggling with Parkinson’s Disease now for about 8 years. During this past year she has also experienced more than her fair share of other physical ailments including having a pacemaker implanted and more recently suffering a stroke. It has been difficult to watch her go through phases of recovery, exhaustion, pain, […]
A New DIY Retreat
A couple years ago I participated in a “DIY” retreat called “33 Days To Morning Glory”. It included readings, small group discussions, and watching videos at the weekly meetings. The author and leader of the video teachings is Fr. Michael Gaitley. He is a young priest with a heart on fire with love for Jesus and […]
Answered Prayer
This morning I heard from a friend who asked for prayers. Her mother was headed to the doctor’s office with a serious condition and of course she was very worried. I sent the word out to family members who know her and we all said some prayers. My friend called later in the day to […]
