Meeting a Mountain Man
Today we took a little trip up to the cabin in the mountains. On the way, we kept an eye out for wildlife as usual. We spotted a herd of bighorn sheep near the rocks we usually see them. Before I could slow down, we were past them, so I found a place to turn […]
Fatima Rosary
When we saw the Fatima statue the other night, we received a little booklet that gave details about the apparitions and some prayers. My mom read some of the booklet this afternoon and we talked about how if everyone felt their prayers could actually make a difference in this world, more people would be committed […]
Letters From Women
A few years ago, I was blessed to begin a faith journey with 6 other women – some I knew, some I did not. The new prayer group was organized by a good friend who takes God’s promptings seriously. We met about once a month, visited, ate, prayed, laughed, and cried together. When I moved away, […]
Our Lady of Fatima
I have been hearing about the 100 year anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima – when Mary the Mother of Jesus appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal. The other day, my mom found information in the bulletin that one of the travelling statues of Our Lady of Fatima would be in […]
Adventure at the Mall
My parents have wanted to go shopping for a while. It has been a very long time since either of them have been to the mall. My dad has been wanting to buy some new jeans, but wanted to make sure he was getting the same kind that he likes, so I recommended he take […]
Priestly Similarities
We had a new priest at church today who reminded me so much of another priest that I know who is very close to my heart. There were so many similarities. During his homily, the priest said that after college, he worked out in the secular world for a few years and was very happy […]
An Adult Stroller
It was another beautiful sunshiny day today, so I took advantage of the opportunity and went for another long walk. As I was walking downhill on one sidewalk, I saw someone pushing a stroller walking uphill coming towards me. There appeared to be a couple of dogs walking with the person. As we got closer […]
The Eyes Have It
My dad had another eye doctor appointment today – the one that took hours the last time. When we made the appointment, the scheduler told us that right after lunch would be the best time, so that’s what we did. She was right. We waited for about 5 minutes for the first test, then didn’t […]
Shipped Out
My nephew joined the Navy via the Delayed Entry Program several months ago. Since then, he has been working hard to get ready and has questioned his decision from time to time. He has been heavy on my mind and in my prayers. He stuck with it and saw it through. He reported to his […]
Back to Therapy
We have been trying for months to get my mom back into physical therapy. She has had some physical setbacks and we have been having problems getting a referral from a doctor. We finally got the appointment and made it in today. We went back to the same place that she was a year ago. […]
