Delighted to Give
I saw a quote today from CS Lewis that touched my heart: How God loves us; not because we are lovable but because He is love, not because He needs to receive but He delights to give. I Found God today reminded of God’s generous love.
Blessed Birthday
I woke up this morning thanking my parents and God for bringing me into existence on my birthday. I thought it would be good to begin my next year with a clean slate. So, I left the house early and went to Confession. I felt relieved and peaceful after hearing the prayers of forgiveness. Sometimes […]
Family Connections
Yesterday I visited a friend and showed her the photos from my recent trip. Today I had lunch with a different friend and told her about the trip and shared the pictures with her as well. Last week when I visited another friend, part of our conversation was the same as I had the last […]
Worth Pondering
I was going through social media today as I haven’t really been on too much – which is fine. I came across several thoughtful quotes from TobyMac that made me pause and think. “Please don’t settle for something you know isn’t God’s plan for you just because you’re tired of waiting.” “He calls each and […]

Today I talked with the Campus Minister of the Newman Center and learned more about her. She said that she wasn’t raised Catholic, but participated in Christian and Catholic groups, particularly after she graduated from high school.

This season, Robert Irwin is one of the […]
Many Blessings
Yesterday while I was driving, I talked to my son who was also driving. We were both heading back home. He had driven his son to the Southeast for his new job, so he was on the southern route and I was on the northern route. We joked about who would cross the mountain time […]
Race Cars and Cousins
Yesterday I learned that the cousin I just met drives a dragster. It was ironic because my grandson is currently moving to work for a race team. That has been his dream since he was born. My cousin had a family get together this evening and he had his dragster stored there. I was excited […]
More Family Connections
Today I met my cousin’s brother and sister for the first time. Their grandfather and my grandfather were brothers. They told me a great story. One time their grandfather was helping at a boy scout camp when their father, who was a child at home with his mother, got very ill with appendicitis. At that […]
Memory Lane
Today I left my aunt’s house and headed for the town where my parent’s were born and raised. I had been in contact with the museum there about donating some of my treasures. They were my first stop. The young woman who I had been in contact with appreciated the historical items. We talked about […]
