Spiritually Motivated
I was at the Newman Center today and got to chatting with a couple of brothers who were touring the college campus. They talked about their family of 11 children and the colleges that some of them had attended. It was important for them to have a source of spiritual stability and support, which is […]
Religious Programming
As I started making my Easter candy in the kitchen today, it was too quiet in the house. So, I started listening to some music. I listened to the Christian Contemporary channel that I like for a while. Then, I switched to classical. Neither were really what I wanted, so I decided to turn on […]
Being Done
I listened to a great homily by Fr. Mike Schmitz this morning before I went to Palm Sunday Mass. He talked about something that I have struggled with. Fr. Schmitz admittedly looks forward to being “done”. He anticipates what the outcome will be and gets nervous or anxious not knowing. When it is done, he […]
Encouraging Wisdom
This morning I had brunch with some new friends from the church. It is an organized group of older, single people who get together for a meal or events a couple times a month. You can just participate in whatever you would like. One of the ladies I talked with is the oldest at 89 […]
Joyful Auto Shop
Perhaps like many people, I dread finding an auto shop. I have had my current car for 2 years and figured it was time to get an oil change and get it checked over before I take it on the road this summer. I did my research and decided on the one that received the […]
Spiritual Friend
Over the past couple of months, I have been reducing the amount of visits I have with my Stephen Minister. It has been a couple of weeks since I have seen her, so we got together today. The first thing she asked me was , “How is your Lent going?” This is one of the […]
Extreme Fasting
I visited with a friend today and noticed that he was looking very slim. I commented to that fact and he said he had dieted for a while which worked, but like most diets, when he stopped being so particular, the weight came back on. For Lent this year, he is fasting on Wednesdays and […]
Affordable Housing
A friend in my prayer group had been on the waiting list for subsidized housing for the elderly for 2 years. A couple months ago she was notified there was an available apartment and she was able to move. Today the prayer group met at her new place. It was very cute and cozy. Her […]
Talking With My Aunt
Going through my parents memorabilia got me to thinking about and missing my mom’s sister. I feel a special bond with her as we share a birthday. I had not talked to her in quite some time, so I gave her a call today. We chatted for a while and reminisced. She will be turning […]
Gallery of Living Art
Today a friend and I went to an event called the “Gallery of Living Art” that was held at a local church. The presentation told the story of Christ’s Passion and Resurrection through life-sized reproductions of sacred works of art. Each painting or sculpture was as close in representation as possible to the original work […]
