Life, Death, Love, Faith
I have had a friend and her family in the forefront of my thoughts and prayers. My friend has had her mother home with her as she has been receiving hospice during the final weeks of her life. My friend has been sharing this intimate time of life, love, and faith. The other day, we […]
Perfect Morning Prayer
This morning I got on my phone to see what was happening in the world. The EWTN post popped up, which I seem to get sporadically. When I do see them, it is a little video encouraging prayer for a specific intercession. Today’s prayer was for people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers. I clicked on […]
Faith in Mission
A couple I know are on a mission trip in Greece serving the many refugees who have landed there. They have done many such trips and sometimes take another family member with them. Last year, the wife took one of her granddaughters to Africa. I received an email from them describing how they are contributing. […]

A few weeks ago, I learned that a friend’s mother was diagnosed with cancer again. Unfortunately, the illness took over. My friend was able to bring her mom to her home and she is receiving hospice care. My friend has been writing daily about the small blessings the family is experiencing during this difficult time.

Ring in the Trash
Today a friend told me about a “God Sighting” she had. On Sunday, she was getting ready for church and took off her ring to put on lotion. The ring is made from a diamond that belonged to her grandmother. At church, she realized she didn’t have the ring on and made a mental note […]

When she was in college, she found herself pregnant again from her boyfriend. This time, she chose to get an abortion. As […]
Prayers for Missionaries
Today I thought about some of our friends who left for a mission trip a couple of days ago. The wife goes on a mission trip every year and her husband joins when he can. Last year, she took her granddaughter to Africa. This year, the husband and wife team went to Greece to help […]
ABC Mercy
Today at church the priest talked about Divine Mercy Sunday. He said to help remember what to do, use the ABC’s. A – ask God for His Mercy. He wants to shower His love and mercy on us, but we do need to ask. B – be merciful to others. If we want to receive […]
