Over the Migraine
The other day, I felt a migraine coming on. I knew I had done it to myself by eating foods that I shouldn’t. I was very careful that day and treated it best I could, expecting to feel better yesterday. However, the headache was still there in the background. I had one more day of […]
Well Played, God
I have been trying to read spiritual books, but I get distracted, change books, and have not been very good at disciplining myself. Yesterday at church, an instructor for a Catholic Bible School spoke about a class that will be starting soon. It lit a spark in my heart, but I thought about how much […]
Thinking of Love
One of the readings at church today was EPH 5:21-32, which is the infamous scripture about how wives should be subordinate to their husbands. But, the other part of that is the instruction for husbands to love their wives as God loves the church. I thought the priest gave some great words of wisdom. He referred […]
All Will Be Well
I went for a walk and talk with a friend today and she told me a story about having faith. A priest that she knows was driving during a very bad snow storm and was pretty scared. He said all at once he got a deep sense of peace and calm. He “heard” God say […]

Heading Towards the Light
I was out today and as I was about to head home, there was a terrific storm. I didn’t want to get hail damage on the car, so took a couple seconds to think about what to do. Of course, my phone was blowing up with weather alerts. I looked at the radar and saw […]
No Shot Today
Along with several other issues, my mom has osteoporosis. Because of this and the fact that she is a high fall risk due to the Parkinson’s, her arthritis doctor recommended she receive a medication to help improve her bone density. This medication would be administered through an IV and would last for 1 year, but […]
New Permit Driver
As I was out driving around today, I saw ahead of me a minivan that had something written on the back window. It reminded me of when the youth used to decorate our car windows before heading off to Workcamp. Being curious, I changed lanes and got behind the van to see what it was. […]
Do Something
Sometimes I can feel overwhelmed trying to care for my parents. The daily attention that needs to be paid to trying to keep everyone safe and healthy, not to mention appointments, and issues that pop up. I often feel like there is no way I can do everything, every day. Today’s reflection from Dynamic Catholic […]
