Do For the Least Ones
Today I went to a meeting to find out about a new program at my church that is geared toward helping teens who are in foster care. A mom who fostered teen boys spoke to us about her experience and what might be expected behavior. She has fostered over 70 young men. She talked about the […]
Off to a New Adventure
It has always been my brother’s dream to tour the United States after he retired. This summer he bought a camping trailer and it was his intention to head South for the winter. I was so happy that he stuck around here for a few months. He stayed with my parents often, which allowed me to […]
Invitation to Serve
A while ago, the church had a ministry fair of sorts. Some of the ministries were represented by tables of information and sign up sheets. I restrained myself from the youth ministry and religious education section because I knew the commitment would be more than I can give at this time. I came across the […]
Potting Plants
I used to enjoy playing in my garden – gardens actually. I had several spots around my house that would require tending. There was a vegetable garden, a couple of flower beds, flower boxes at the base of the windows, and hanging baskets of flowers besides. I don’t really have a green thumb, but love […]
The New Dentist
One thing that is difficult about moving is having to get new medical insurance and new doctors. After doing as much research as I could stand, I finally said a prayer and chose a doctor and dentist that I thought made the most sense. Now, I am not a very big person and have had […]
Silent Initiation Goes Beyond Words
At the beginning of Mass this evening, the priest said that there were two young men being initiated into the church during the service. I always love being a witness to such an event – it invigorates my faith. I noticed a woman at the front who was interpreting in sign language. I took a look […]
Quick Answer
My poor old dog is really having a hard time. It is difficult for her to go very far, so she stays home now for my daily walk to the mailbox, which is about 1/2 mile round trip. As I walked this evening, I enjoyed looking at the scenery and the interesting clouds in the sky. […]
Ask the Lord to Cast Out Your Demons
Ah, a new day begins. When I got out of bed this morning, I was ready to start fresh. One of the daily words of wisdom I get in my email simply stated, “Ask the Lord to cast out your demons.” I chuckled a bit as it was so fitting to what was going on. […]
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. […]
New Church Experience
Tonight I decided to go to an evening of prayer and supper at the church. My parents were not up to going out in the frigid weather, so I went by myself. I have not been going to this church a very long and have not participated in anything outside of Sunday Mass, so I realized […]
