Real People
I was talking with a couple of friends today who were sharing their experiences in Rome. That is on my list of places I would like to visit. One young woman talked about how the Bible became real to her upon seeing St. Peter’s church and other churches that housed the remains of disciples and […]
Gracious People
Yesterday I learned that there was a mistake made at work. I’m not even sure if I did it, but it was likely I had. I thought about it all night long and lost sleep over trying to figure out in my mind what might have happened. I prayed about it and tried to just […]
Prayer To Begin
I saw a beautiful prayer today: Lord, as Holy Week begins, slow my heart down. Help me not to rush past this story I’ve heard so many times. Let me feel it – the humility, the sacrifice, the depth of your love. Walk with me through each day, through the joy and the sorrow, through […]
Beginning Holy Week Again
Each Palm Sunday offers something new. I’m sure part of it is due to the fact that I’m in a different place of life each year spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Today at the beginning of Mass, we all went outside where the deacon read the Gospel, then gave the homily. Even though there were so […]
Beauty of Songs
I have loved the voice and songs of Lauren Daigle since I heard her best selling song, “Look Up”. Her music is different, a little bit of soul, gospel, and praise, but very much her own style. Plus she has a quirky sense of clothing that I just love as well. Today I saw an […]
Empty Me, Fill Me, Use Me
During Lent, the Hallow app has been focusing on the simple prayer, “Empty me, Fill me, Use me.” The first 4 weeks, the challenge was to empty ourselves from the things that keep us from allowing God fully into our hearts and lives. Last week we were encouraged to then ask God to fill us […]
Feeding Time
Yesterday after work, a friend and I went to the zoo. It’s school break, so there were many families with children there too. But we saw many animals up and about. Since it was later, near feeding time, there was a lot of activity. My friend mentioned how amazing God is, creating all the different […]
Everyone Has Someone
Tonight I went to dinner with the friends that I used to work with 40 years ago. The group still gets together every month. But we’re all getting a little older and people are having health issues. One of my friend’s mom comes too, who is coming up on her 91st birthday. She can’t see […]
Listening and Laughing
I was talking with an elderly woman today about my job. She said that she once worked for a high-end department store up on the 3rd floor. When the more sophisticated ladies would arrive to do their shopping, they would take the elevator to the 3rd floor where the woman would greet them. She would […]
Long Lost Cousin
My dad started his photography when he was still in high school, doing yearbooks and such. He even participated in camera clubs, submitting his best photos. We have a beautiful, large framed photo that he took of his “baby sister” in 1949, when she was 17 years old. My dad won an honorable mention for […]
