Someone Moved
The other day, I saw a story on the news about a veteran who lost everything he owned in a house fire. He had a mobile home and while he was away, one of the propane heaters fell over and started the blaze. He thought one of his dogs may have knocked it over. In […]
Oldies But Goodies
Today at church, several of the music pieces were what I would call Oldies But Goodies. I could think of specific events where I learned each song. One was a retreat that I went to with people I hardly knew. During the years that followed, those people became my spiritual mentors and good friends. Since […]
Christ in Me Arise
A friend of mine came over for a visit tonight and my sister was here too. We laughed and laughed, which we always do and is one of the things I look forward to when we get together. We can also have deep and meaningful conversations because we know each other so well. My friend […]
Meeting a Mountain Man
Today we took a little trip up to the cabin in the mountains. On the way, we kept an eye out for wildlife as usual. We spotted a herd of bighorn sheep near the rocks we usually see them. Before I could slow down, we were past them, so I found a place to turn […]
Fatima Rosary
When we saw the Fatima statue the other night, we received a little booklet that gave details about the apparitions and some prayers. My mom read some of the booklet this afternoon and we talked about how if everyone felt their prayers could actually make a difference in this world, more people would be committed […]
Letters From Women
A few years ago, I was blessed to begin a faith journey with 6 other women – some I knew, some I did not. The new prayer group was organized by a good friend who takes God’s promptings seriously. We met about once a month, visited, ate, prayed, laughed, and cried together. When I moved away, […]
Our Lady of Fatima
I have been hearing about the 100 year anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima – when Mary the Mother of Jesus appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal. The other day, my mom found information in the bulletin that one of the travelling statues of Our Lady of Fatima would be in […]
Adventure at the Mall
My parents have wanted to go shopping for a while. It has been a very long time since either of them have been to the mall. My dad has been wanting to buy some new jeans, but wanted to make sure he was getting the same kind that he likes, so I recommended he take […]
Priestly Similarities
We had a new priest at church today who reminded me so much of another priest that I know who is very close to my heart. There were so many similarities. During his homily, the priest said that after college, he worked out in the secular world for a few years and was very happy […]
An Adult Stroller
It was another beautiful sunshiny day today, so I took advantage of the opportunity and went for another long walk. As I was walking downhill on one sidewalk, I saw someone pushing a stroller walking uphill coming towards me. There appeared to be a couple of dogs walking with the person. As we got closer […]
