After I wrote my last post I had another one of those "coincidences" where out of the blue something happened to shake things up. It is starting to make me think that God really is listening to me. First, let me start by saying I don't believe in coincidences. There was a time when I …

How Things Change
I have had a few rough weeks at work lately. The problem is, now let me try to put this as nice as I can, I am surrounded by profanity, negative thinking, and profanity. Okay, I shouldn't say surrounded, it doesn't emanate from my office but from the one next to me. It really got …
Using His Inside Voice
A couple of Sunday's ago we had a discussion at the RCIA session about how God speaks to us. As I have written before, with all the noise that surrounds us it can be difficult at times to hear Him. One of the participants asked how we can tell if it is God or Satan …
Eyes that do not see
It was either this week or last week at the RCIA program we were discussing how things were in the "old days". I used to call them "the good old days" but now I question just exactly how good they were. We talked about how when I started school we began every day with the …

No One Said it Would be Easy
While at Mass today I began to think about the last year of my life. There have been some good things, and some bad things, mostly good. I have continued my journey back to the Lord, and have made some great strides, but as I always say, I have come a long way but still …
Big C Little c
When my kids were small I used to read them Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book! When we came to the C page it went "Big C, Little c, C C C, what begins with C?" This ties in nicely with my last post, where I talked about why we need a church building. Photo …
