It's been just about a year since I moved from the little house on the lake and completed a life transformation that began about a year before that. Reflecting on the past few years I can see such a difference from where I was then to where I am now, and I owe it all …

Lost but not Forgotten
When I first began this wonderful journey back to God, one of the first things I decided to do was to not only read the bible but also to determine if it is real. There are many who claim that it is a myth and that it was written in order to somehow control the world. …
Look at me – Here I am
Here we are, Holy Saturday, and I only kept one of my lenten promises and it wasn't the one that I was going to write a blog post for each day of lent. I didn't make the Good Friday "Celebration of the Passion" either. Maybe next year but I will be going to Easter Mass …
Damn Those Churchy People
You just can't trust those churchy people. That's what I was told in a conversation I had a while back, the person who said it shall remain anonymous. I asked what exactly was meant by "churchy people." He said, "You know, those people that go to church and are always trying to do good when …
Are the Animals Lining Up
As I am sitting here listening to the rain tattooing the roof of the building I am in I am wondering if this will be going on for another 39 days. Of course, I know that God promised Noah that it wouldn't happen again, but could he change His mind? No, because he doesn't renege …
The Lord is My Shephard
One of the readings at Mass Sunday was Psalm 23. This psalm is mostly known from being read at funerals. Depending on the particular bible translation you use, the NABRE used at Mass reads differently than the RSVCE. The difference is verse 4: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death …
Strong Roots and a Good Foundation
Let's change course for a post or two since I am sure you are tired of hearing about my signs. Don't worry though, I have plenty more of them to share. Today I want to talk about Jeremiah 17: 5 - 10. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD. He …
No Temptation Shall Overcome You
My last two posts discussed the first instance I remember God giving me a sign, other than falling off the truck and watching as that machine suddenly veered to the left just before it was going to land on me. The reason I began thinking about these things was I was questioning, not only if …
Knock and it will be open part 2
Let's continue with yesterday's theme. Was this really a sign from God or was it just a coincidence? I am 95% sure it was a sign from God, especially now that I look back on other signs God has giving me. I will be getting into those other times as we go along but for …
Knock and the door will be opened
Let me continue with yesterday's train of thought. Shorty after I began my journey, a journey that began mostly as a fact finding mission. I wanted to learn the truth about what happens next, what happens when our time here is done. At this time I had a job where I spent a lot of …
