Back To Class
At my mom’s exercise class, there are college interns who help. While the school had a break for 2 weeks, so did the exercise class. Today they started back up again. It was somewhat like a reunion. You would have thought we hadn’t seen each other in years. Everyone was so happy to get back […]
African Priest Connection
Today at church, we had a priest visiting from Tanzania. He came to talk about the destitution that is there and try to rally some financial support for a school he is building. He talked about the celebration of the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ today. Catholics are connected by this […]
Communions
A friend of mine who happens to be a priest always shares his homilies and I love reading them now that I live far away. When I read his words, it reminds me why and how much my faith grew when I was able to hear him in person. Tomorrow we celebrate the SOLEMNITY OF THE […]
Miraculous Staircase
When my cousins left here, they were headed to Santa Fe and planned on stopping by the Loretto Chapel. The chapel was once a Catholic Church and now is a museum. It holds the “Miraculous Staircase”, named as such due to the amazing circular structure that still baffles experts. The builder is also unknown. It […]
More to Learn
After my mom played the piano today, my dad encouraged her and told her how much he loved to hear her picking up and working through a new piece. My mom took a few minutes and reminisced about her last piano teacher. She started lessons with her after playing for about 40 years. Yet, she […]
Discovering Relatives
Today was the last day of my dad’s cousin’s visit. His wife had made contact with another woman on the ancestry website who was also working on the family genealogy. She gave her a call and introduced her to my dad. The woman started right in talking about her history. It turns out that she […]
Humbled By His Faithfulness
We had another wonderful day visiting with my dad’s cousin and his wife today. It had been over 20 years since I had seen them, so along with talking ancestry, we got caught up on life events. As I shared stories of my past several years, I realized – again – how God has led […]
Day of Ancestry
My dad has a cousin who has visited with his family several times some years back. They have continued to stay in touch and share stories and pictures of the family history. My dad and sister have been working hard on putting together an album that tells the story of their heritage. My dad’s cousin […]
No Mistakes
At church this morning, the priest gave us several examples of people who were trying to make a specific product, but made a “mistake” and ended up making something very different, by very wonderful. I thought of my sister’s coffee toffee. She started with a certain recipe, read the measurements incorrectly for some of the […]
People Helping People
We had a family get together today. As my sister and brother-in-law were on their way over, they came upon a woman who was sitting in her broken down car on a very busy road. They pulled over to lend a hand to the woman who was alone and on her phone trying to figure […]
