Peaceful Surrender
Today is the Feast of St. Therese – the “Little Flower”. I read a quote from her that included the words, ” . . . this road is the surrender of the little child who sleeps without fear in its Father’s arms.” That sounded very peaceful to me. Later in the evening, I went to […]
Experience of God
I was talking with a group of people tonight about “feeling” God or the Holy Spirit. One man said that he didn’t ever “feel” God in his life. He knew about God. He is a faithful church goer and reads the Bible. He is very involved in the church and believes in Jesus Christ as […]
Great Comfort
My parents had a sofa for a long time that wasn’t really comfortable for anyone. They had talked on and off about replacing it, but weren’t exactly sure what they wanted. Finally a few weeks ago, they decided on a Lazy Boy that fit them both just right. It was delivered yesterday. Tonight after dinner, […]
Struggle From the Beginning
A few weeks ago, I began attending a Bible class and we started at the beginning in the book of Genesis. Tonight in my small group, we discussed the basic human nature of good and evil, faith and sin. One person noticed that God promises redemption from the beginning and gives us (people) the opportunity […]

Feeling Fortunate
It has been quite hazy here due to wild fires in nearby states. But, today the sky was clear with not a cloud during the entire day. We made a trip up to the cabin and it was just gorgeous. Some of the leaves had just started to turn and with the backdrop of the […]
Better Late Than Never
I had let my e-mails get all backed up, so I sat down at the computer today determined to plow through them. I have signed up on a novena website that sends the prayers each of the nine days for certain novenas. There were several days still sitting in my inbox. The purpose of a novena […]
Mind At Ease
We recently had some hail damage to the cabin and are working on getting it fixed. One of the issues is that the rubber boot around one of the vent pipes was completely destroyed. The assessor who looked at it fixed it temporarily with about half a roll of duct tape, but there has been […]
Old New Neighbor
I have been able to get to know several people at the aqua aerobics class that I have been going to for about a year now. Today during the class, one of the ladies said she was going to host a get together for another ladies’ birthday. I found out that she lives in the […]
