Unexpected Connection
Tonight I had dinner with some friends. One of them shared the following great story. The other day she was headed to an auto repair shop to drop off some items for the company she works for. She was daydreaming as she was driving and missed the main entrance. She had to turn in the next […]
Recognizing Jesus
My parents and I have been reading a scripture reflection every morning at breakfast. We continue to go through the Resurrection story as the Easter season goes through Pentecost – 50 days after Easter. This morning we read a little more about when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus only to find that […]
God’s Diet
Today I saw a short video clip about people in areas who have a great percentage of people living to be 100 years old or more. It highlighted a couple of those areas. One was a small city in Italy. Their diet was mostly vegetarian. They only had meat a couple of times during the […]
Who’s To Blame?
I Found God today in reading this post that reminded me of the joy of working with youth.
A Card
I think that card writing is becoming a lost art. It is so easy to text or send off an email. Many times I say I will get around to it, then by the time I do it seems like an afterthought, so I don’t do it at all. But there is something special about […]

Red Sashes
Tonight I went to the Good Friday service at the church. As I sat down, I noticed a man a few rows in front of me that had a red piece of cloth draped over his shoulder like a sash. I looked around and saw that several people had the same red sashes. I wondered […]
Holy Thursday
I went to church tonight to celebrate Holy Thursday. The church was packed and it was one of the most beautiful services I have experienced. At this Mass, the scripture is read about the last night Jesus spends with his friends before He is killed. While they were having their meal – the Last Supper – […]
Not April Fools
Today – despite it being April Fools Day – I received news of wonderful things that happened. Quite a few years back, I was a Confirmation sponsor for a wonderful young lady. Since then she has graduated from high school and college. She wanted to be a high school teacher, but struggled taking the certification […]
