Help To Move
It is said that you know you have a really good friend when you call them at the last minute to help you move and they show up immediately. Well, my sister is in the process of moving and is 2 days from the close of selling her current place. She lives about 1 1/2 […]
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.

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 […]
Found His Mother
I got together with a friend of mine and he told me a great story. He was adopted at birth and was always an advocate for adoption vs. abortion. He would talk about it especially with his daughter’s friends and they would realize that if he would not have been born, his daughters would not […]
The Music Flowed
My mom and her friend played the piano together today as they do every Tuesday. Today they played exceptionally beautiful. As we talked about it later in the day, my mom said she could feel the difference. She continues to play best she can, but it is often a struggle. She said she get frustrated […]
St. Anthony Comes Through
Last week, my mom realized that she was missing a ring she wore to church. It was a “mother’s ring” that included the birthstones of each of her 5 children. She thought it was tight enough not to fall off and she didn’t remember taking it off herself. We called the church, but no one […]
He is God
I read a reflection today from Bishop Robert Barron about the image of Jesus being our “good shepherd”. Jesus Himself tells us in the Bible that is who He is. A couple of statements that struck me were, “Imagine the difference between humans and sheep; and now multiply that difference infinitely. That would give you […]
