A Catholic Funeral
Today I heard from a woman who I know from a prayer group. She has a friend who recently died. While her friend knew many people in the community, she didn’t know many Catholics. Her funeral is coming up and it will be in the Catholic Church. The woman asked the group if anyone else […]
Million Miles Away
Tonight I watched the movie, “A Million Miles Away”. It was the true story of a man from Mexico who grew up traveling from place to place and working on farms with his family. His dream was to be an astronaut. His family made sacrifices so he could go to school and he earned a […]
Living Vicariously
A friend of mine has been travelling recently. We are in a group text with several other friends. He went to Africa before Christmas and shared pictures from there, including wildlife he saw on safari, which was very exciting. Now he is in Guatemala for a friend’s wedding and is again keeping us in the […]
God’s Life Directions
Today I visited for a while with an older couple that I know. The gentleman recalled the things he had done that kept him very busy after his “retirement”. He was just wondering what he should do next when he received the scary news that he had cancer. There was some period of time that […]
Message to Pray
I was so happy to be able to spend some time in Eucharistic Adoration this morning. There was almost an overwhelming sense of peace as I was aware of God’s Presence in that moment and in my life. While I was there, my son texted that he will be having a final interview tomorrow for […]

Sharing Encouragement
I do love TobyMac. I saw him in concert many years ago on the side of a mountain during a Christian music festival. The energy of his music is vibrant, and the lyrics are real and uplifting. He went through a very difficult time a couple years ago when his son tragically died. I have […]
Yolanda Renee King
This morning I saw an interview with 17 year old Yolanda Renee King who was in town for an event remembering her grandfather, Martin Luther King Jr. She was incredibly well spoken and her looks even resembled her grandfather. During the interview, she talked about how important it is to choose the option for peace […]
More Coffee Trees
Years ago, my sister who worked at Starbucks got a coffee tree from them. She managed to get some cuttings to root and created several new trees. There are 2 of them in my house, 1 belongs to my sister and 1 to me. Today my sister helped to repot mine and we found out […]
Sister’s Weekend
My sister came today for her birthday weekend. We had fun at the antique shop where she found a beautiful handmade purse with lots of pockets. It was just what she was looking for. Then we went out to lunch. After that we watched the football game. It was a nailbiter all the way through, […]
