Stories and Gratitude
Today I visited a friend and her mother who is 90 years old. I told them about my trip and showed them pictures. I’m not sure how much the elderly woman was able to see, so I explained what was in the photos. She explained to me that her eyesight is getting worse and her […]
Lots of Laughter
Yesterday was a gorgeous day, and I was happy to go for a long walk with one of my neighbors. Later that night, I went over to visit with her and her husband and tell them about my trip. I showed them photos of the sites and my people, and they shared their pictures of […]
Remembering Loved Ones
After celebrating All Hallow’s Eve followed by All Saints Day, today I went to Mass celebrating All Souls Day. The entrance of the church has a very large Baptismal font. When adults are Baptized there, they can actually walk in and out of the pool. Today, the font was adorned with probably 100 lit candles. […]
Struggling Priest
This morning, I went to Mass to celebrate All Saints Day. The 2 priests and deacon processed up to the altar at the beginning. I noticed the priest leading the way was struggling a bit. That would typically be the pastor. During the Mass, he didn’t read any of the scripture, or share the homily […]
Blankets for Homeless
Today I spent some time at the St. John Henry Newman Center with an amazing young woman. She was making a tie blanket, so I offered to help. I asked her who would be getting the blankets. She said she was making them for homeless people. They wouldn’t be handed out in any organized manner, […]
Stories of Love
I have been slowly watching the previous episodes of this season’s Dancing With the Stars. Tonight I watched dedication night. The contestants chose a person that had been meaningful in their lives and dedicated their dance to them. They even included their special person in their dance. This season, Robert Irwin is one of the […]
Many Blessings
Yesterday while I was driving, I talked to my son who was also driving. We were both heading back home. He had driven his son to the Southeast for his new job, so he was on the southern route and I was on the northern route. We joked about who would cross the mountain time […]
Holy Family Shrine
On my second day of travelling back home, I stopped at Holy Family Shrine in Gretna, NE. It is located right off the highway, but you wouldn’t know it was there unless you knew. A small group of people from diverse backgrounds were united by the Holy Spirit with a vision of the Holy Family […]
Rustic and Gothic
I was blessed to go to church with a cousin this morning. She told me that her family was founding members of the church. And it was named my dad’s patron saint. More family and God connections. Then I started on my trip back home. I planned my route so I could see couple more […]
Race Cars and Cousins
Yesterday I learned that the cousin I just met drives a dragster. It was ironic because my grandson is currently moving to work for a race team. That has been his dream since he was born. My cousin had a family get together this evening and he had his dragster stored there. I was excited […]
