A Card
I think that card writing is becoming a lost art. It is so easy to text or send off an email. Many times I say I will get around to it, then by the time I do it seems like an afterthought, so I don’t do it at all. But there is something special about […]
DWTS – Stories of Suffering
One of the things my mom and I enjoy is watching “Dancing With the Stars” together. Tonight the contestant’s dance was a representation of the most pivotal year of their life. Granted, a couple of them are pretty young and the most important year to them were those when they actually became stars. I understand. […]
Because He Lives
Easter Sunday – one of my favorite days of the year. I awoke with songs going through my head all about how Jesus Christ died so that each of us may have eternal life. I took my dog out early and saw an amazing sunrise. I was happy that we sang some of the songs […]
Coming Together
My sister’s new home is a small ranch property located in a neighborhood of sorts consisting of 10 small ranches along a dirt road. My sister’s property is at the very end of the private road. The road has been a mess pretty much since they moved in a few months ago and is in […]
Red Sashes
Tonight I went to the Good Friday service at the church. As I sat down, I noticed a man a few rows in front of me that had a red piece of cloth draped over his shoulder like a sash. I looked around and saw that several people had the same red sashes. I wondered […]
Holy Thursday
I went to church tonight to celebrate Holy Thursday. The church was packed and it was one of the most beautiful services I have experienced. At this Mass, the scripture is read about the last night Jesus spends with his friends before He is killed. While they were having their meal – the Last Supper – […]
Not April Fools
Today – despite it being April Fools Day – I received news of wonderful things that happened. Quite a few years back, I was a Confirmation sponsor for a wonderful young lady. Since then she has graduated from high school and college. She wanted to be a high school teacher, but struggled taking the certification […]
Just One of the Kids
I went to the store this afternoon before the schools had let out, so there was not too many people there. As I was in one aisle scouring the shelves, a woman with 4 small children was there chatting with a friend. I noticed that one of the boys was in a wheelchair and hanging […]
Sis’ New Job
My sister was not treated very well at her last job. She was yelled at, cursed at, and made to feel like she was incompetent. It hurt me to know she had to endure that treatment and to see her so depressed. I was glad that she decided to go ahead and look for a […]
Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday. I always enjoy going to church and getting fresh new palms. I do not so much enjoy reading the Passion – the part of the Bible that describes the last few hours of Jesus’ life. I don’t mind so much that it is long and typically we stand through the whole […]
