Beating the Devil’s Tactics
I seem to get more notifications on my phone than I know what to do with. I usually go through them a couple times a day and delete, delete, delete. As I was swiping them away this evening, I stopped and watched a video that caught my eye called, “How to Beat the 3 Tactics […]
Computer Fixer
My mom’s friend got a new computer a while ago and had not been able to figure out where all her files were, or how to get them transferred from the old computer. Today my brother went to her house and got it all fixed up for her. She found some files that she thought […]
Nick of Time
The dentist office is one of my least favorite places to go. Ever. Without elaborating, I had an appointment this morning. I prayed before and during the procedure that all would go well. I left feeling ok. However, things didn’t go as they were supposed to, so I dropped back in. I got there just […]
Saving Baby Bunny
Early this morning I heard a lot of commotion in the basement. I looked in the window well and saw a tiny baby bunny who was trying to get out. It would try to jump straight up, but only made it a few inches. It tried jumping onto the window screen and climbing up, but […]
Another Strange Mass
There weren’t very many people in the pews when we arrived at Mass this morning. That was strange to begin with. When it was time to start Mass, the music director announced that, unfortunately, there was no priest present to celebrate Mass. A deacon was there, so we went ahead and started with the Liturgy […]
A Different Pentecost
I have been to some amazingly vibrant and exciting Pentecost celebrations and always look forward to today’s solemnity. However, today’s Mass was quite different. The priest started by saying how nice it was to use a microphone, because when he celebrated Mass earlier at a different church, their sound system wasn’t working. It was more […]
Look To Jesus
Today my sister told me that she had misplaced her keys. She looked everywhere and couldn’t find them. When she was just about at her wits end, she remembered something she had read earlier – Look to Jesus. She did. The next place she looked, she found the keys. I Found God today helping when […]
Now We Wait
When my mom and I went for our walk this afternoon, we could see black smoke billowing over the mountain. We knew what was on the other side of that mountain – our cabin. My brother got up there just a few days ago and told us yesterday that he could see smoke. I kept […]
Another Painful Experience
It’s been a rough couple of days. On Friday afternoon, I was able to finally get my COVID booster. Planning ahead, my sister was coming to stay with my mom and I for the weekend. It had just started to snow when she left for her normal 1 1/2 hour drive. Just as my mom […]
Loving Actions
Today is the feast day of St. Therese of Lisieux. I received a bag in the mail today that had a picture of her and the words, “Do all with love”. My sister of the same name came this afternoon and I gave her the bag. In my opinion, everything she does is with love. […]
