Football, Family, and Faithfulness
The past few days have been a whirlwind – but in a good way. At the beginning of the year, my son said he really wanted to go to a specific football game. I put it off as it would be an expensive and hectic venture, but it lingered in the back of my head. […]
A New Phone
I was happy to take my son’s old phone when he upgraded to a new one. At the time, I was using a phone that had the slide out keyboard. The thing I liked most about the new phone was the ability to take pictures. I love taking pictures and this phone was the next best […]
King of the Universe
Today my mom, dad, and I took a drive to their cabin in the mountains. We were all so happy that everyone felt up for the trip. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful drive. We went to church in the small town near the cabin. Today the Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of Our […]
No More Cancer
Today I received a beautiful note. After reading the return address, it took me a while to realize who sent it. The letter was from a friend’s mother. She found out over the summer that she had cancer. She is a fairly young woman about my age and eats a very healthy diet, so the […]
She Will Walk Again
It has been a long three months for my sister. None of us ever anticipated that she would break her leg, go through surgery, rehab, therapists, walkers, and wheelchairs.

Helpful Neighbors
My brother bought a camping trailer a while ago as he wanted to head south for the winter. Unfortunately, he has been hanging around here longer than expected for various reasons. A few days ago, he towed the camper up to my parent’s cabin in the mountains to try things out and pack it for […]
Support and Encouragement
I was happy to talk to 2 good friends today. I really should make a better effort to connect with them more often. Today was a friend’s birthday, so we got on the phone and talked up a storm. She lives quite far away, but I saw her briefly over the summer when she was […]
All Souls
Today is All Souls Day as celebrated in the Catholic faith. It is a day to remember and pray for all those who have died and especially praying that they may enter into Heaven. I made it to Mass early this morning and started praying on my way there. I started by thinking of all […]
Amazingly Answered Prayers
As I said, yesterday was the feast day for St. Jude – the patron saint of difficult situations. Yesterday right after I went to Mass, I got into the car and got a message from my son that he was told he had one week to find a new job. I couldn’t believe it. Here […]
