Storytelling Night
Today my mom started her exercise classes. It was pretty challenging, but I thought she did a great job. As I sat watching her, I got to talking with a woman who was watching too. She and her husband were visiting from out of state and brought her father-in-law to the class. We talked about […]
Loving Faith
Last night I received a note from a young woman who was in the youth group many years ago. She included her “testimony” of sorts that was very moving and encouraging to me. I am sharing it here. “I’ve been somewhat off and on Catholic for the last seven or eight years, always praying and […]
Fresh Peaches
For my mom’s birthday, my brother bought her a monthly delivery of goodies. Each package contains cookies, snacks, sweets, or fruits. This evening, my mom and I were trying to decide what kind of salad to make and bring for a picnic we are going to tomorrow. As my mom was pouring through recipe books, […]
Meaningful Old School
Today I went to a BBQ with the Fostering Hope program. The event was held at the Catholic school that I attended when I was in first grade. I have driven by it a couple of times but this is the first time I had actually been back on the grounds. As I looked around, […]

Rest or Repose
My son and I spent the morning at the zoo today. It was very warm and most of the animals were lying about in the shade, in their pool, or sunning themselves. Only a few were actually moving about, but we still enjoyed watching them. At lunch, my son told me about the workout schedule […]
New Small Community
I have been wanting to connect with more people and try to make some new friends – especially those I can pray and share my faith with. A few months ago at church, a person spoke about “Small Church Communities”. These are small groups of people who meet and pray together. I contacted the organizer […]
God’s Loving Embrace
Today at church, the deacon giving the homily started out with a short meditation. He asked us to get comfortable and close our eyes. He said we should imagine ourselves asleep, then suddenly awakened by the cry of a child. I could definitely relate to that. We were then to imagine ourselves as that crying […]
Finding True Happiness
I decided to expand my reading horizons, continue learning about faith, and include something that would be uplifting. So I started reading a book by Fulton Sheen last night called, “Finding True Happiness”. It didn’t take long before the message touched my heart, beginning with the introduction. The line that was particularly inspiring to me […]
People in Mind
I had a lot of people on my mind today and in my prayers for various reasons. My friend who I wrote about yesterday sent me a text early this morning saying that he and his wife were flying out to meet his mother in person. That was pretty funny as I didn’t know this […]
