Baby Prayers
When we arrived to visit my dad today, the young woman who greets us at the door couldn’t wait to tell us her good news. She said she just found out she was pregnant. She said her friends there at work will throw a gender reveal party when the baby is old enough to find […]
Back to God
Tonight in my Bible class, a student shared a touching story. A family member was pregnant and found that the baby would not live long after birth due to extreme medical problems. She continued the pregnancy until the baby was born. The family had a priest waiting in the wings. When the little one came […]
Bye Jesus
Today in church, a very young couple sat in front of us with 2 little boys. When they arrived, the dad pointed out Jesus on the crucifix to both children, even though the younger was still too young even to walk. Mom and dad had their hands full, but the boys were so cute and […]
To Love Them

I heard an incredible story on the news today about a young woman who saved a life, passed a nursing exam, and gave birth all in the same day. Evidently, she was in pre-mature early labor, but was cleared to leave so she could take the exam she had been studying for over 2 years. […]

My Blessed History
My dad has always been on the cutting edge of photography beginning when he was in high school. He also owned a movie camera at that time and started putting together movies as well. I remember watching some of them on an old reel to reel projector and portable screen. Many years ago, my brother […]
