He is God
I read a reflection today from Bishop Robert Barron about the image of Jesus being our “good shepherd”. Jesus Himself tells us in the Bible that is who He is. A couple of statements that struck me were, “Imagine the difference between humans and sheep; and now multiply that difference infinitely. That would give you […]
More To Celebrate
My sisters and brother came over today for another family party. This time we decided to celebrate both my parent’s birthdays and early Mother’s Day. My mother donned the tiara and was queen for the day. My dad enjoyed playing with his Star Trek Communicator that was sent by my other brother. He paired it […]

For the past 5 years, my younger son has been in college. He decided early on that he wanted to be on the fast track to receive his Master’s Degree. There was a time when he wasn’t quite sure he wanted to continue on that path, but he decided to stick it out. Today he […]
Unexpected Encouragement
Today I received an unexpected card from a far away friend. She is a very faith-filled woman and always has beautiful insights. Like most of us, she and her family have been through a lot. The story of how she relied on God during difficulties has always been inspiring to me. She lives her faith […]
