Heavenly Joy
So I turned on America’s Got Talent last night. At times they interview a certain act before they come onto the stage, but you never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. A piece came on with a 5-year old little girl named Heavenly Joy. I wondered how her parents came up with that name. She […]
The Heart of the Matter
Today I took my mom to her appointment to have an echocardiogram – basically an ultrasound of her heart. As she laid on her side, the technician moved the wand type device over her heart and the image came up on the monitor. I thought it was amazing. I could see the valves of her […]
The Motorcycle Rally
My brother-in-law has a Harley Davidson motorcycle that he loves to take out when he can. Today there was a motorcycle rally in the city where I live. My sister is really a fair weather rider at this point, so she drove her car to the house last night and we hung out as she spent […]
Sacred Heart of Jesus
For the past 9 days, I have been saying a novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today was the feast day, so I got myself to Mass first thing in the morning. The scripture readings all tied together the amazing love that Christ – God – has for us. His heart overflows with love […]
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 […]
Divine Mercy Wisdom
The week after Easter is “Divine Mercy Sunday” in the Catholic Church. The purpose is to help people connect with the infinite grace and mercy that is available to us through Jesus Christ. St. Maria Faustina Kowalska was a woman who always felt an incredibly close relationship with Christ. As she grew to a young […]
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 […]
Who’s To Blame?
I Found God today in reading this post that reminded me of the joy of working with youth.
DWTS – Stories of Suffering
One of the things my mom and I enjoy is watching “Dancing With the Stars” together. Tonight the contestant’s dance was a representation of the most pivotal year of their life. Granted, a couple of them are pretty young and the most important year to them were those when they actually became stars. I understand. […]
Because He Lives
Easter Sunday – one of my favorite days of the year. I awoke with songs going through my head all about how Jesus Christ died so that each of us may have eternal life. I took my dog out early and saw an amazing sunrise. I was happy that we sang some of the songs […]
