Answer
Why Does God Allow Evil
In my Bible class tonight, we read through the book of the prophet Habakkuk. He raises the question to God one that we have all wrestled with since the beginning of time – Why does God allow evil? Habakkuk cried out to God since from his perspective, evil was flourishing and good was dwindling. He […]
Continuing On
I asked my mom how she found God today. She reminded me that she didn’t sleep very well last night, so she was already tired before we even had breakfast. Her online exercise class met this morning, but instead of going back to bed, my mom decided it would be better for her to get […]
Most Real
My parents and I listened to a very powerful and relevant homily today. The priest talked about how easily we are distracted by things that are “less real” substituting for things that are “most real”. He used our computers for example – specifically our phones. Sometimes when we are visiting with other people in real […]
Not Comfortable Here
In skimming my emails today, a paragraph from an advertised blog caught my eye: The world is not a very comfortable place right now. Now, it could certainly be worse (although I don’t usually find that reminder too terribly comforting); but it has also definitely been better. To say that the difficulties, tragedies, injustices, and […]
Personal Prayer of Thanks
As I have been continuing to study the book of Isaiah in my bible class, I read about Hezekiah who was a king of Judah. He was stricken with a life threatening disease. However, he had faith, prayed and trusted God. Because of this, God healed him and gave him an additional 15 years of […]
Clever Aunt
My mom called her sister today to wish her a happy birthday. We all sang when she answered the phone. At eighty-something, she is still living alone in her big house. She told us about all the precautions she is taking so she doesn’t get covid-19. During the summer, a couple of her friends would […]
Lasting Forever
I read a blog today about a woman named Annie Flack who recently passed away and had made a tremendous impact on a Christian community. She was quoted by something she said every day that can sum up our entire life: Only one life, will soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last. […]
Righteousness, Justice, Peace
Tonight in my Bible class, we continued our study of the prophet Isaiah. After the tumultuous week our country has experienced regarding the election, the words from the prophet rang true. Time and time again, Isaiah exhorts the people not to put their trust in men, nations, governments, but to place their trust in God. […]
Green Pick-up Truck
When my dad and I were walking to the mailbox today, we came upon our neighbor with her 2 year old grandson. He was adorable. He showed us the pick up truck that he was carrying and playing with. It was green – my favorite color and his daddy’s too. His vocabulary was impressive. As […]
According to Plan
My parents had their appointment with their cardiologist today. I called the office to make sure they would be seen with our recent covid scare and was assured it would be fine. After the stressful time last week going to the wrong place, we developed a plan before we left the house. Once we got […]
