Virtual Ice Cream
During our family Zoom time, we usually discuss the weather since everyone is scattered around the country. Today we were experiencing rain/snow here, my travelling brother just left his campsite in Death Valley where the temperatures were in the high 80’s, and my son on the East coast was in the 70’s, which is unusual. […]
Animal Fair
My dad often has a song running through his head first thing in the morning and sings it for us. Today it was the Animal Fair:“I went to the animal fair,The birds and the beasts were there.The big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair.The monkey, he got drunk,And sat […]
In the Midst of Joy
A friend asked if I wanted to walk with her on this beautiful day. She was very flexible and was ready when it was a good time for me to get out for a bit. We walked down to a local park that was filled with kids – about middle school aged. We found out […]
Pray With Confidence
As I’m trying to maintain my prayer life especially during Lent, I read a quote today that inspired me: “Pray with great confidence, with confidence based on the goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly into the hearts of […]
Riverdance
It’s fun trying to find different ways to celebrate holidays. I read this morning that since Ireland is still locked down, the St. Patrick’s day festivities would all be virtual. So I figured we should be able to find some worthwhile entertainment. When we talked about it at dinner, my mom said she had Riverdance […]
Back to Playing
Due to COVID-19, it has been months since we have had visitors. But things are different now that my parents are fully vaccinated as are some of their friends. Today, my mom’s piano playing friend came over just as she used to every week. It was wonderful to see her and visit without facemasks so […]
Mysterious Piano Player
Today I came across a very touching video about a mysterious piano player. A young man who lived in an apartment suddenly started hearing a new neighbor play the piano. They corresponded by notes a couple of times. The young man got out his keyboard and starting playing as well. Through their note writing, they […]
Looking Back
Tonight I decided to go back and copy some of my past posts. First of all, I can’t believe I have been writing just about every night for 8 years – including the 2 years I wrote for the church I worked for which is how this whole thing started. There were plenty of memories […]
Living Your Call
Today I got a call from a friend. We talked about all kinds of things for quite a while. At one point she spent a few minutes just encouraging me. It wasn’t a formal prayer, but I felt God speaking to me through her as my eyes welled and heart filled. She talked about how […]
All The Same
Since today is Friday, we decided to pray the Stations of the Cross. We found a video that guided you through the Stations in the Holy Land. The participants were from all around the world and from several different religious orders. My dad made the comment that even though there were so many different people, […]
