Choose
I think a lot of time I can feel like I am the victim of circumstances – or just a victim in general. Sometimes it seems like I have no control over what is happening in my life, or in the lives of my loved ones. Truth be told – I really don’t have much […]
New Job Week One
I was very happy today was Friday. It’s been an exhausting week as I started a new job for a CPA doing tax preparation. I have been learning computer systems and processes for organizing and filing paperwork. People are all different, and so is their tax situation. So while the goal of the job is […]
A Little Church History
This evening I had dinner with 2 friends. One was a priest. The 2 of them talked a lot about church history such as King Henry VIII who broke away from the Catholic Church because he wanted to get a divorce and started the Church of England. They talked about church treasures such as St. […]
Spell “World”
I was visiting a friend today when she received a phone call. She answered and put it on speaker. As she was talking with the woman, she asked her if she could tell me about their relationship. The woman agreed and could hear everything she said. My friend was a special education teacher for many […]
O Wisdom
I discovered that the podcast I listened to yesterday on Hallow was the introduction to the “O Antiphons”. The verses from the hymn “O come, O come, Emmanuel” are featured as we celebrate the last few days leading up to Christmas. They are prayed at Mass, during the evening prayers used by priests, and are […]

Today I met with my prayer group. We looked at the Gospel reading from John 14:23-29. One of the gentlemen started off with how confusing it was to him. We talked about the concept of the Holy Trinity, and how can God the Father be greater than Jesus if they are one in the same, […]
Dad Interviewed
I continue to sift through files, folders, and boxes of treasures. Today I found some more of my dad’s military information including housing, promotions, and awards. I also came across an airman’s magazine that included an article about him and the Air Weather Service. It highlighted their work watching the sun and doing their part […]
Close To Same Situation
When I was unable to take my mom to church any longer, I was able to bring her Communion. I had connected with some wonderful people at the church who were very supportive and loving. A couple of days ago, one of the ladies called and asked if I would be interested in bringing Communion […]
Waiting for the Sun
A friend of mine is the chaplain of the St. John Henry Newman Chapel and Catholic Student Center located at the college here in the city. I have gone there a couple times for Mass and met some of the people there. I thought volunteering there would be a good, productive way to spend some […]
Brain Health
A beautiful friend Shannon Desilets posted this. When I read it, I realized that it explains what was happening to my poor body and brain during the past several years caring for my parents, especially as it became more and more difficult. I literally thought I was losing my mind. Even though I was praying, […]
