Faith
Shared Words of Wisdom
My mom finished her second week of voice therapy and is doing a good job practicing at home. Now for one of her exercises, she reads inspirational quotes out loud. I am sure this is dual purpose – it helps to strengthen her voice AND her spirit. I have enjoyed listening to them as well […]
A Healing Mass
Tonight my mother and I attended a “Healing Mass” at our church. The priest was visiting from New Jersey and here for a Catholic conference. He was very charismatic in his words and prayers. The majority of the people in the church were very enthusiastic as his energy was contagious. One thing that really struck […]
Out of Addiction
Tonight I was able to connect with my prayer group via Facetime. It is always uplifting to be with this wonderful group of women. Two of them recently opened an interior decorating shop. They said that every day they speak to people who share their faith with them. One of the ladies told a story of stopping […]
Newly Engaged
Today I talked with a young woman who recently became engaged. I have known her and her family for years, and it is hard to believe she is even old enough for this to happen. She told me the beautiful story of their relationship. They met each other 4 years ago when they were both […]
Learning to Drive
My nephew has been learning to drive. His mom takes him out driving every now and again in the big busy city they live in. It has been challenging to say the least. They stayed overnight last night and when I asked this morning what people wanted to do, it was suggested that I take […]
A Story of Forgiveness
Today I came across a moving video from a young man who was bullied in high school and able to forgive those who tormented him. He held onto the truth of who he is in God. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BotF8PjxOIU I Found God today in the story of a young man able to forgive […]
Psalm 121
A couple weeks ago I came across the TV show “American Ninja Warrior”. I was first taken by the incredible athleticism of those trying to make it through the obstacle course. Then I heard some of the stories of the contestants and got hooked. There are so many stories about the obstacles that the people […]
Remembering Workcamp
Each year, the church that I used to work for has a group of teens and adults participate in a Group Workcamp. I knew they would be headed out soon and they have been on my mind. Today I saw a couple pictures and posts from 2 of the wonderful ladies that I know who […]
Do the Good I Want
I realized this morning that I was lacking in my silent prayer time the past couple of days. It makes a huge difference in my day when I spend some time in the morning talking and listening to God. So I re-committed (again). I told God that I really want to do what He wants […]
Heavenly Joy
So I turned on America’s Got Talent last night. At times they interview a certain act before they come onto the stage, but you never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. A piece came on with a 5-year old little girl named Heavenly Joy. I wondered how her parents came up with that name. She […]
