Receiving Relief
I woke up way before dawn this morning with a terrible stomach ache. You know – the kind that keeps you awake as you try to figure out exactly how sick you are. I finally decided that it would be a good idea to put on my rosary app. I nodded off and on as […]
A New DIY Retreat
A couple years ago I participated in a “DIY” retreat called “33 Days To Morning Glory”. It included readings, small group discussions, and watching videos at the weekly meetings. The author and leader of the video teachings is Fr. Michael Gaitley. He is a young priest with a heart on fire with love for Jesus and […]
Answered Prayer
This morning I heard from a friend who asked for prayers. Her mother was headed to the doctor’s office with a serious condition and of course she was very worried. I sent the word out to family members who know her and we all said some prayers. My friend called later in the day to […]
Epiphany
Epiphany! Aha! I get it now! I love the word, the meaning, the church celebration. The gospel reading Matthew 2:1-12 was the story of the wise men – or Magi – who made the journey to see the infant Jesus. They knew and read the signs in the sky. They followed the star to the […]
Quiet Prayer
I was having a hard time thinking about what to blog tonight. So, I put on my new very soft warm pj’s that my sister gave me for Christmas, wrapped up in the prayer shawl my prayer group gave me when I moved, climbed into bed and turned on the electric blanket. I started praying […]
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. She has done a great job of taking care of herself – doing her exercises, trying to stay strong, have a good attitude and stay safe. […]
