Faith
Well Played, God
I have been trying to read spiritual books, but I get distracted, change books, and have not been very good at disciplining myself. Yesterday at church, an instructor for a Catholic Bible School spoke about a class that will be starting soon. It lit a spark in my heart, but I thought about how much […]
All Will Be Well
I went for a walk and talk with a friend today and she told me a story about having faith. A priest that she knows was driving during a very bad snow storm and was pretty scared. He said all at once he got a deep sense of peace and calm. He “heard” God say […]
Wait For Something Bad
I took my mom to the rheumatologist today to discuss her options regarding bone density medication. She recommended a shot that my mom would receive once every 6 months and went over the potential side effects. When she asked my mom what she thought, my mom said she was ready to go ahead with it […]
Starving Fear
The daily reflection from Dynamic Catholic that I read this morning really struck me and I tried to think of it often during the day: “Feed your faith and your fear will starve to death.” I Found God today in a great thought that struck my heart.
Sharing Winnings
When we are at the cabin on weekends, we go to church in the nearby town, which also happens to be a gaming town. Then we go to lunch and pull a few slots. My dad has told the priest in the past that whatever he wins, he will give 10% to the church. He […]
Blessings Reminder
At church today there was a visiting priest from a mission called Cross Catholic Outreach. He talked about the plight of many different people in many different parts of the world and how the ministry helps them. His plea for support went right along with the Gospel of the day, which was the story of the […]
Faithful Priests
Yesterday in my blog, I told of a friend of mine who is a priest and how he had moved to be closer to his parents. I realized today that there are actually a couple of people who would fit that description. I then also recognized how blessed I am to have had such amazing […]
Continuing Friendship
A friend and her family was in town and I was glad that they made some time for us to visit. It was even their 24th wedding anniversary, which I learned as we were talking. She has always been a faithful and encouraging person who I could count on when she volunteered in youth ministry. […]
Three Little Boys
My mom and I watched some of “America’s Got Talent” tonight. There was an amazing story that a father of 6 told before he sang to the audience. When his wife gave birth to their daughter, the 2 of them almost died. The man prayed all night and was of course grateful that his family […]
It’s About You
I read Bishop Robert Barron’s meditation on the scripture Matthew 9:9-13 and it really hit my heart. This is what it said in part: ” . . . I urge you to read it and meditate upon it this week, for it’s about you. The Bible says that Jesus told Matthew, “Follow me.” The call of […]
