Angel
Angel in the Sky
We had a little break from the winter weather today, so we decided to spend the day at the cabin. The sunshine, the snow on the mountains, and the clear blue sky was just gorgeous. When we arrived and got everything settled, I went out on the deck. The air was so crisp and clear. […]
The Magical Touch
The other day we spent some time at the cabin in the mountains. The old dishwasher has been making a terrible grinding sound coming from the motor and we have been wondering how long it will last. We started it yesterday and it went for a while, but then it stopped and just made clicking sounds. […]
Pushed by an Angel
Yesterday I saw a video of a little boy who caught his baby brother when he fell off the changing table. The mom had turned away for a moment and the 18 month old baby wiggled to the edge of the table and tumbled over. His 9 year old brother just happened to be walking […]
Angel on the Trail
It has been just over a year now since my sister broke her leg. She was a long time in a boot and then therapy to learn to walk on it again. Since then she has been working hard to get back to “normal”. She, my other sister, and I decided to go for a […]
Singing With the Angels
My mom’s brother was an incredible singer – especially in his youth. When he was about 12 years old, he won multiple competitions leading him to sing a solo at the Chicagoland Music Festival in Soldier’s Field in front of a crowd of about 61,000. He actually won first place that year. Metropolitan Opera singer […]
God’s Still Here
When I used to go with groups of youth and adults to Workcamp for a week, each day we would talk about where we saw God in that day. A friend of mine shared a couple of “God Sightings” with me today. One of them was about a friend of his who was driving on […]
Avoiding an Accident
My mom and I went out and about today. As we were driving home, I got in the left hand turn lane behind an SUV. It was a big intersection, so we both ended up pretty much in the middle of it. The light changed from green to yellow. I couldn’t see much past the […]
My sister makes an amazing coffee toffee. She came over for the weekend so together we could make large quantities of the candy for friends and family. I had never done it before, so she gave me jobs and taught me along the way. Of course, she has it all down to a science and […]
Faith Stronger Than Fear
During the past few days, the events around the world – particularly in France – have left many again in fear, wondering where and when the next terrorist attack is going to be. Today at church, the scripture readings were very relevant for what we – the world – are experiencing. The readings from Daniel […]
Guardian Angels
I got up early this morning, ready to start my day with a walk. When I stepped outside, it was raining, so I went back in. I stretched my body out a bit and decided to spend time doing some praying and reading. I found the Mass readings for the day and realized it is […]
