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 …
Who Am I to Judge
It's been a frustrating couple of days here in my little corner of the world. How can you stay positive when you are surrounded by negative energy? I work in a very negative environment and I would say that most of this feeds off of my direct boss. Since I can't afford to lose my …
And Now a Word From Our Sponser
Here it is the first Sunday of Lent and the Gospel reading was actually the same one I used yesterday about Jesus going into the desert and being tempted by Satan. The first reading of the day is from Genesis and is the story of Eve being tempted in the Garden of Eden. As I read this …
Stop, Look and Listen
It's Saturday, the fourth day of Lent and so far I have kept to my promise of writing 500 words each day. Now I am not saying they have been 500 quality words, but they have been words. Maybe today since I have more time I will be able to do better. Why do we …

If you are anything like me you have probably struggled with all seven. have you ever noticed that when they are listed pride is always at the top? …
One Day at a Time
Day 2. I'm on a roll. Let me continue with yesterday's thought. I was talking about putting things in God's hands and following His lead. I quoted from Matthew yesterday when Jesus tells his disciples not to worry about tomorrow and to take care of today. When I began doing this it was like lifting …
Lent Starts Today
Okay here it is the first day of Lent and it is required that I do something for Lent, either fast or some other "penance" for the next forty days. After thinking about it I have decided on exactly what I will try to do. It won't be fasting since I am already on a …
How will you be remembered
How will you be remembered after you are gone? I started asking myself this question last night after I learned of the death of a classmate of mine. He was a patient at the nursing home where my better half works and she told me when I got home. Now I admit he and I …
