Vocal Vet
I went to the post office today to mail some packages. I guess I went at just the right time, as there was only 1 person in line in front of me. As I waited, though, the line grew behind me. A woman struck up a conversation with the man behind me and it was […]
Better Beater
Last month, my mom woke in the middle of the night with pains in her chest. We ended up spending a couple of hours in the emergency room, but they didn’t find any problems, so we went home. Luckily, the pains never returned. We have been following up with her doctors, including having an echo […]
Starving Fear
The daily reflection from Dynamic Catholic that I read this morning really struck me and I tried to think of it often during the day: “Feed your faith and your fear will starve to death.” I Found God today in a great thought that struck my heart.
Sharing Winnings
When we are at the cabin on weekends, we go to church in the nearby town, which also happens to be a gaming town. Then we go to lunch and pull a few slots. My dad has told the priest in the past that whatever he wins, he will give 10% to the church. He […]

Great Relationships
Recently, I have been placing more intention into my relationships. That may mean reaching out more, opening up myself to new friends, trying to be a better ME, or simply pondering and being grateful for the people in my life. My reflection today from Dynamic Catholic was from Matthew Kelly, “Great relationships magnify the good […]
More Enjoyable Porch
The small portable chairs that my parents have kept on their front porch area have been slowly breaking and dwindling. They are also difficult for my mom to get in and out of. Today we decided it was time to get something that worked. I took my mom to the store and found all the […]
Grateful for the System
My dad had an appointment with the eye doctor today. Thankfully, everything looks great – there has been no change since his last visit. Since he had no news to share, the doctor told us about his travels to other countries as he learns and speaks about health care. He said that the health care […]
