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 …

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 …
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 …
No Temptation Will Overtake You
How are you doing on your Lenten promises? Remember the one I made about writing 500 words every day? Well, not doing so great. I took the weekend off although I did do some writing yesterday on another blog of mine that I have just redesigned. I guess that kind of counts. I won't get into …
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 …

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 …
It’s All About the Noise
Yesterday I mentioned the seven deadly sins: pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth or acedia. . How many of these have you had problems with? 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? …
Taking the Narrow Gate
How often when faced with a choice do we opt for the easiest one? How often do we follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing, even if we aren't sure it is the right thing to do? Or to follow along with Jesus' teaching and take the broad road in order to …
