Coloring Book
Quite a while ago, my sister and I bought a couple of coloring books and some colored pencils. We thought it would be a good activity for my mom and anyone else in the house since we heard it is supposed to be relaxing. I looked at the pictures to decide which one I wanted […]
Faith Journeys
Today I met up with a person I met at a church event. We talked about a lot of things, but one topic in particular was our faith journeys. She said that she heard many scriptures as a youth, but for some reason in her later years, those same words penetrated her heart. I know […]
Virtual Reality
Today’s reflection at church was given by the deacon. He said that his son gave him a set of the virtual reality goggles and showed him how to use them. The deacon described his experience. First, he watched some of the Olympics and was amazed at the clarity and 360 degree view. Then, he tried […]
Speaking of Micah
Yesterday, I wrote about a police officer who was tragically killed in the line of duty. His name was Micah. When I opened up the scripture readings for today, the first one was from Micah. He was one of the prophets from the Old Testament. In the scripture, he spoke of the incredible forgiveness that […]
Faith of a Grieving Widow
Not too long ago, there was a tragic shooting resulting in the death of a local police officer. Since then, there has been an outpouring of support for the family – even 2 men in prison sent them some money. The wife has remained out of the spotlight until the other day. She read a […]
Be Careful What You Pray For
I have heard “Be careful what you pray for – you just might get it!” I pray for patience on a regular basis. Today was an exercise in that virtue. My mom and I left the house this morning after breakfast for her first doctor’s appointment. I even left the breakfast dishes in the sink […]
God In Many Strangers
My mom had her first cataract surgery today. It was a very, very long day with more waiting than anything. But all went well and we were finally home resting after 6 hours. We read our Lent meditation at dinner about seeing God in others and reviewed the day. There were several instances that we […]
Now Is The Time
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday so my parents and I went to church in the afternoon. The deacon gave a short, but powerful reflection. He started by reminding us that we are in a spiritual battle. Every day we see evidence of a struggling world. We face our own challenges and decisions as well. We need […]
Amazing Athletes
I have been staying up too late watching the Olympics. But the stories of the athletes are inspiring. And their performances are mesmerizing. I was talking with a friend about it today and we decided that they are made of different stuff than we are. They do, of course, have many of the same qualities […]
Football Baptisms
I saw a video today about several players on the Eagles football team who were baptized in the team pool a few months ago. A bit unconventional perhaps. I thought was a beautiful story.
