Ready for a Challenge

As I was finishing my homework for my Bible class today, I wrote about the importance of living well as a Catholic Christian and showing God’s love to others. Not less than an hour later I received a call for the opportunity to do just that in a very challenging situation. I’m now praying for […]

Seeking a Connection

Today in church, a young couple with a little girl came and sat next to us in the rows of chairs closest to the entrance. When it came time to share the sign of peace, the little girl made her way out of our row to exchange a handshake to everyone nearby. When she approached […]

The Massage

For Christmas, my dad generously gave me some gift certificates to a spa. Today I was able to use one and got myself a massage. It was the most wonderful hour I have had to myself in a very long time. My body is like a noodle now, but in a good way. It felt […]

Starting the Day With Joy

I started my day at the YMCA and the aqua aerobics class. It is never easy to get out of bed to make this happen, but it is so worth it when I do. This morning we used pool noodles as one of our “weights” to challenge our muscles and balance. It is difficult to […]

Proof of Heaven

My mom just finished reading the book, “Proof of Heaven; A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife”, by Eben Alexander MD. He didn’t believe in heaven, hell, the soul, or God. Then he was suddenly attacked by an illness that shut down his brain. While he was in a coma for 7 days, he had an […]

Your Sweet Spot

Yesterday when my mom’s friend was visiting, we were lamenting over the state of affairs and down right evil in our city, country, and world. I personally become overwhelmed with the news of horrific events. I want to do something to help, but other than pray, there really is nothing I can do. This can […]

Ready

Tomorrow we begin another season of Lent. I read a meditation this morning, “Open your heart, open your mind, and open your soul to the miracles God wants to work in and through you.” – Matthew Kelly. This was definitely an encouragement to get ready for Lent. I have seen so many opportunities that will […]

People of the Bible

The other day, I read a meditation that stated, “Every single person in the Bible is put there to serve you. Hidden between the lines of these ancient texts, they wait, wanting to teach you the great truths of the journey.”  – Matthew Kelly. I had my Bible class tonight and this statement really rang […]

Moments With God

Today I felt blessed to be able to take a few minutes during the day to spend with God – in prayer, in meditation, at Mass, and in the Bible. There were times when anxiety tried to creep into my mind, but these moments of spiritual rest helped me to stay at peace. I Found […]

World is a Machine

Tonight my parents and I watched the movie, “Hugo” based on the book by Brian Selznick. I had never heard of it before, but came across it on TV and it sounded interesting. The main character is a boy who learned the art of working on clocks from his father. He had a talent for […]
