Million Miles Away
Tonight I watched the movie, “A Million Miles Away”. It was the true story of a man from Mexico who grew up traveling from place to place and working on farms with his family. His dream was to be an astronaut. His family made sacrifices so he could go to school and he earned a […]
Living Vicariously
A friend of mine has been travelling recently. We are in a group text with several other friends. He went to Africa before Christmas and shared pictures from there, including wildlife he saw on safari, which was very exciting. Now he is in Guatemala for a friend’s wedding and is again keeping us in the […]
Message to Pray
I was so happy to be able to spend some time in Eucharistic Adoration this morning. There was almost an overwhelming sense of peace as I was aware of God’s Presence in that moment and in my life. While I was there, my son texted that he will be having a final interview tomorrow for […]
Adventures in Time and Space
My dad loved science fiction and had many old books. Today I was looking at one of them; a 1954 paperback, “Adventures in Time and Space”. I was also listening to a classical radio station. As I was looking through the book, a selection of Holst, The Planets came on. I always think of my […]
Sharing Encouragement
I do love TobyMac. I saw him in concert many years ago on the side of a mountain during a Christian music festival. The energy of his music is vibrant, and the lyrics are real and uplifting. He went through a very difficult time a couple years ago when his son tragically died. I have […]
Yolanda Renee King
This morning I saw an interview with 17 year old Yolanda Renee King who was in town for an event remembering her grandfather, Martin Luther King Jr. She was incredibly well spoken and her looks even resembled her grandfather. During the interview, she talked about how important it is to choose the option for peace […]
Fasching
I listened to an interesting podcast today that talked about the season of Carnevale. Evidently in the history of the church seasons, Advent was a time of fasting leading up to Christmas, as was Lent leading up to Easter. Once the Christmas season ended with the Baptism of Jesus, which we celebrated yesterday, the Carnevale […]
Selling Things
When my dad was putting together the family genealogy books, he sorted hundreds of extra photos into envelopes for friends and extended family. A couple weeks ago, I contacted 3 cousins who I have not kept in touch with and asked if I could mail them their packet. I heard from 2 of them who […]
Community
When I was talking with my sister today, she asked the same question that everyone is wondering – where am I going to move to when I leave my parents’ house. It actually is my house, but I continue to think of it as my parents’. The answer to that question is – – I […]
Spell “World”
I was visiting a friend today when she received a phone call. She answered and put it on speaker. As she was talking with the woman, she asked her if she could tell me about their relationship. The woman agreed and could hear everything she said. My friend was a special education teacher for many […]
