Connected
Sparrows
I was talking with a friend today about how sometimes I have a feeling of impending doom. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic. But I do sometimes feel like I’m just waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Minutes later, I heard a song that started with the lyrics, “You can’t add a single day […]
Starbucks On Dad
My mom had some energy this morning and made it to church. During Mass, the priest talked about Father’s Day. He said if our father has died, we should pray for him to be with our Heavenly Father. We can also ask for his intercession to pray for the fathers who are still here, doing […]
Psalm 46:11
Many years ago, a friend recommended a scripture verse to me. It was Psalm 46:11 “Be still and know that I am God.” It brought me a lot of much needed peace at that time. Every now and then, I am reminded of that verse, like today. I heard it being read. I smiled and […]
ESP
Perhaps you have had a time or two when you were thinking of someone and then they call or stop by. That’s how it was tonight when I got in touch with a friend. She had been on my mind and I had been on hers. We had a great phone conversation and talked about […]
Reciprocating Prayers
A friend contacted me this morning asking for prayers for her husband who is in the hospital. As I read through the previous texts, I realized many of them were regarding prayers – asking for them and promising them. I feel that praying for people is the best way we can express our love for […]
Dad’s Photos
My mom and I have been slowing going through some of my dad’s snapshots. I call them that, because his best photos are enlarged and many of them are matted and/or framed. What we are looking at are envelopes of prints. I am grateful that they are mostly categorized. My dad was a very organized […]
Children’s Interaction
I went to Mass this morning to a church I don’t normally attend. Evidently I sat in the family section. Or perhaps it was just a representation of the parish. In any case, I scooted by a woman with 4 children to get into the pew. In a few moments, a man with 3 children […]
Thunderbirds
It was an exciting day around the city as the Air Force Academy graduation was today. President Biden was in town to address the graduates. And the Air Force Thunderbirds took to the sky. I had errands to run today, but saw them in formation a couple of times. There were a lot of people […]
Cemetery and Visitation
Today my mother and I made a trip out to the cemetery after her haircut. It was a beautiful day and we had not been able to get out there for Memorial Day. We were greeted by many large flags on poles at the entrance that weren’t there before. We drove around to the place […]
Staying Connected
I saw a quote today from TobyMac that I thought was a beautiful reminder of how important it is to remain connected to God: “When Job had everything, he prayed. When he had nothing, he still prayed. Prayer isn’t about your circumstance. It is about who God is.” I Found God in a reminder of […]
Still Finding God
