Another Impact of St. Teresa
I started watching EWTN early this morning awaiting the coverage of the canonization of Mother Teresa. The station was interviewing different people who had contact with Mother Teresa. I recognized one of them as a woman I had met while I was working for a parish. Her name is Susan Conroy. She was a speaker […]
Strange Delay
Today I visited my mom for a bit, then decided to run a few errands before lunch. I had one more place to go and was starting to get hungry, but thought I could run into the store real quick. I had a list which is always helpful and told myself I wouldn’t browse. I […]
He’s In The Navy Now
My nephew graduated from high school last year. Since then, he has worked assorted jobs and tried college classes, but hasn’t found anything that he has been overly excited about. Several weeks ago, he started looking into the military. He talked to assorted recruiters, my dad who was in the Air Force, my brother-in-law who […]
Miracle of Life
This morning my dad and I were about to get in the car to head to the hospital when we noticed some people walking in the driveway. It was the man who helped my dad when he fell last summer. He was walking with his wife and their grandchildren. He asked my dad how he […]
Next Stop
Yesterday I said good-bye to and hugged my grandchildren, my son, and his wife and drove half the day to have a short visit with my other son before I head back home. After driving for a few hours in the rain, I was glad to see a break in the weather. I settled in […]
Beautiful Marriage
Yesterday I went to one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to. I have known the bride for about 15 years and felt so blessed when she asked if I would be her Confirmation sponsor 7 years ago. She and her husband attended a Catholic college and are very faithful as are […]
Neighborhood Reunion
A few weeks ago, I went to visit a friend who I used to be neighbors with. At that time, we lived in an amazing neighborhood. There were 2 particular families that we would get together with all the time. The kids would go in and out of the 3 houses as if they lived […]
Be the Best Me
I am inspired by learning about the lives of those people we call “saints”. They seemed to have such a strong and beautiful connection with God. The majority of them also suffered a lot during their lives. I tend to put a lot of expectations on myself. As I read more about the saints, I […]
Not A System – A Marriage
Today the occupational therapist visited the house. She talked to my mom about helping her get back to doing the regular things she does around the house. One concern that was brought up last week was the height of the bed. My parents have an old 4-poster bed that has been their possession since early […]
Rowing With Both Oars
I often have a problem with being very busy and not spending enough time talking with God. I can always find things that need to be done, but am not always good at making time for prayer, meditation, and/or reading things that are good for the soul. Then I begin to lose my peace. The […]
