In the past I have written about God giving me answers to questions, sometimes even before I ask them. The latest instance was this week when I was thinking about the Las Vegas shooting. As you know I am convinced we are nearing the end with all that has been happening: earthquakes, hurricanes, mass violence, …

Look Up
We have talked about how there are times when we have to make choices and some of them will be quite difficult. It is these difficult choices that will fill us with the most fear. "What will happen if we make the wrong choice?" "What if something goes wrong?" This fear can paralyze us. I know …
Be Quiet and You Will Hear
When I take a look at the world around me I just have to wonder what happened. There is hatred and violence where ever we turn. It doesn't matter who you are, what race, religion or political affiliation, someone out there hates you. Who is to blame? There is no one person or even group that is …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Keeping Watch – Luke 12:35
I certainly don't claim to be a biblical scholar, and I certainly am not a theologian (I can't even pronounce it), I am just a layperson who sees how God has worked in my life. When I began my journey one of the many things I learned was that every time you read a passage …
The Light at the end of the Tunnel
It's funny how things can change in an instant, and life can turn around just like that. Once again God has shown me that when you believe that he is there for you and you trust in Him, things will work out. I started a part time job in July. My intention was to have …
Global Warming and the Pope
Earlier today Pope Francis released a new encyclical "Laudato si'". Praise Be: On the Care for our Common Home. As with anything the Pope writes or says, there is sure to be a lot of misinterpretation, especially by the mainstream media. Some of the issues in the encyclical are climate change, global warming, fossil fuels and …
