Remember back a few years ago (maybe more than a few) when people were asking the question: What would Jesus do? I don’t seem to hear that very much anymore. Maybe no one really cares. It’s funny I don’t seem to ask myself that question much either. But it’s not that I don’t care or …

What God Needs
I had an interesting conversation with my daughter today. Now this being the 21st century it wasn’t a face to face conversation but rather a finger to finger conversation. She and her husband have a rather big life decision to make and she asked for my advice. Without going into the details I told her …
Patience is a Virtue
Okay it's day eight and I have written five hundred words each day of Lent so far. Can I make it to forty? I don't know, but I am going to try. I know today's post is going to be a struggle. I'm just not in the writing mood today. I suppose I could just …
Another Day Another Answer
Isn't it funny how God just seems to know the answers to your questions? I can hardly count the times over the last six or seven years that God has sent me some kind of sign when I have asked him about what I should do. The latest was last night when I asked Him …
Narrow Paths and New Beginnings
For the past few months, I have been undergoing some transitions in my life. Since about January I have been preparing to move from the house we have lived in for the past 15 years, and the house that could be considered an ancestral home of sorts as it has been in the family for about …

I have written about the different ways God talks to us. Some people call them signs, some people call them miracles, I use the term signs. One of these signs is dreams. Dreams can be tricky because you need to be able to discern between this that are from God, Satan or bad chili. Since …
He Did it Again
I have to admit that the last few months have been tough on me and especially on my faith. I was beginning to head back down a road that would lead me away from the church. I was losing faith because it seemed like God wasn't there. And then He did it again... He answered …
Dream a little dream
With all this time on my hands now, I have a whole bunch of it to think about all kinds of things. The latest is dreams,more accurately whether or not dreams come from anywhere, specifically from God. Obviously we know God has spoken to people through dreams, there are plenty of examples throughout the Bible, but …
The Log in Your Eye
It seems my last post has created quite a stir around here. I have heard through the grapevine that my ex may have taken offense to my remarks about one of the causes for our divorce. First, I will say that I am surprised, but also happy she reads what I write. Of course I …
Does God Really Answer Our Prayers
Does God really answer our prayers or do we only think he does? One of the things I have come to notice during my journey back to the Catholic faith is how God continues to answer my prayers. I have to admit I was always pretty sceptical about the whole idea of God actually doing …
