Faith Filled Messages
Recently, I felt like I should be giving my faith a little kick and commit to digging deeper in some way. In the past couple of days, I have received several unexpected emails from friends I have not seen in a while. It was an eclectic group – a priest, former employer, spiritual mentor, and a […]
Good Shepherd
This morning at breakfast, my mom read a meditation from a book we received at church. It was about those who live their lives fully for God. We talked about the different “orders” in the Catholic faith. They follow a different focus, different lifestyles, and different ways of acting out their faith. Yet, they all […]
Typewriter Artist
Today I saw a video that has been around for a year already, but this is the first time I have watched it. It is about Paul Smith, a man who has cerebral palsy. He also has an incredible gift – he is a “typewriter artist”. He uses only 10 keys on a typewriter and […]
God In Me and You
Tonight I was excited to video chat with my prayer group who live so far away. To prepare for this night, we read the scripture John 14:15-21. One of the verses that we talked about quite a bit was verse 20, “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you […]

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.
