Uncle Sam Bank
A couple of months ago when I was visiting my son, I spent some time with my grandson who was doing his American history homework. In the book, there was a picture of a bank I used to have when I was a kid. It was in the form of a statue of Uncle Sam. […]
Amazing Cure
I got together with a couple friends tonight. We laughed a lot and exchanged lots of amazing stories. One is truly unbelievable. My friend has a relative who was diagnosed with cancer. When they started to do surgery, they realized that the cancer was very aggressive and had spread to pretty much every organ in […]
Birthday Wishers
My mom got a sudden sharp pain in her chest this morning, so we ended up in the emergency room for the majority of the day. They ran all kinds of tests, but thankfully didn’t find any blaring problems. The pain ended up going away on its own. It is not exactly how I thought […]
Tried To Say No
Tonight at my bible class, every person in my small group had a story about how they tried to avoid what God was calling them to do. Each one of us had an experience in which we knew God was asking us to do something. But fear or feeling inadequate made us turn in the […]
Selfless Young Man
I helped at an event today that included the Fostering Hope group of youth who are high school and college age. The organizer has been in the position for less than a year and I am so impressed with him. He has a beautiful rapport with the young people while maintaining boundaries and they show […]
Friends There

Mom’s Faith
My mom has been suffering with sciatica for 2 weeks now. She’s been taking pain medication and going to physical therapy. Tonight before she went to bed, she told me she had just felt the pulling of the pinched nerve going down her leg, but that was the first time today. She got teary eyed […]
Overly Helpful
Today my mom and I spent some time in a little shop. Suddenly she had to go to the bathroom. She asked the woman behind the counter if there was a restroom she could use. The woman said they didn’t really let people back there, but she knew it was an emergency. She took a […]
Understanding
I was talking with a friend today about jobs. She said she goes to her office, does her work, and then goes home. She said that I am not able to do that in the job I have in caring for my parents. She went on to completely relate to my situation. It was an […]
Act Locally
The reflection of today from Dynamic Catholic seemed especially fitting for election day. It read, “Act locally. Whatever change you desire for the world, create that change in your own life.” No matter what the results of the election are, there are so many issues that people collectively agree on. There is a lot of […]
