History of Faith
The church I used to work for is celebrating it’s 150th anniversary. We watched the Mass there today as we do most weeks. A gentleman spoke who has completed a history of the church. When I worked there, I was keenly aware of those who had come before me. For many years my office and […]
Lasting Forever
I read a blog today about a woman named Annie Flack who recently passed away and had made a tremendous impact on a Christian community. She was quoted by something she said every day that can sum up our entire life: Only one life, will soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last. […]
Righteousness, Justice, Peace
Tonight in my Bible class, we continued our study of the prophet Isaiah. After the tumultuous week our country has experienced regarding the election, the words from the prophet rang true. Time and time again, Isaiah exhorts the people not to put their trust in men, nations, governments, but to place their trust in God. […]
Covid Scare
A few days ago, my son told me he was home sick with a fever and congestion. He seems to always get sick around this time of year with the same kind of thing, but to be safe and responsible he got a Covid-19 test that day. I had just been with him 2 days […]
Isaiah Has Foretold
Tonight in my Bible class, we studied parts of the book of Isaiah – the Oracles of the Nations. These passages are the prophet’s warning to all the nations of the know world at that time. He outlines the destruction of each country and the reasons. For the most part, the nations have been prideful. […]
Personal Relics
Today is All Saints Day. At Mass, the priest talked about some of the personal relics he had of the saints in his life. He showed a shirt that belonged to his father who died when he was a young child. He wore the shirt and remembered his father. The garment still hangs in his […]
Recovering From the Virus
A friend of mine has been really struggling lately for lots of different reasons. And last week she was tested positive for coronavirus. Needless to say I was very worried about her. I and many other people started praying very hard for her. I actually used words similar to, “God, please give her a break.” […]
Set on the Spirit
A few months ago, I was given a book called, “Nine Words” by Allen R. Hunt. The book is based on the nine “fruits of the Holy Spirit” as outlined by Paul in Galatians. I have been reading slowly, allowing the wisdom and encouragement to sink in. Last night I read about how important it […]
Working With God
I talked with a friend today and got caught up on family happenings. We discussed covid for a while as she, her husband, her daughter, and her son-in-law all work in the medical field and all live in the same home. Thankfully, none of them – or the toddler in daycare – have had any […]
Prayed For Energy
I asked my mom how she found God today. She said she prayed for more energy and to feel better. She said God answered her prayer. When she played the piano today, she said the piece she is practicing to play with her friend is really coming along now. She also did all her exercises. […]
