Once again God has watched over me and protected me from harm. I am really starting to think He likes me. I know, I know, He loves all of us, but here's my story. The last two weeks I have been rather lax in my spirituality. I have missed Mass which means I need to …

Is That All There Is
Way back in 1969 there was a son out called, "Is that all there is?" recorded by Peggy Lee. For some reason i was thinking of this song the other day. Okay, I know the reason, He did it to me again. You see I was thinking about how I have changed my thinking on …
More about Prayer
It's been a busy last couple of weeks and I haven't had much time for writing. Or reading. Or praying. So I am trying to get back on track. I've been trying to get a little freelance business going (writing and editing) which has been taking most of my free time. Of course when I …
Satan is Knocking at the Door
I'm pretty sure I have written before about my dreams, and how I believe this is one way in which Jesus talks to me. I believe He will and has in my case, send us messages in various way, many times we just don't listen. This makes me wonder if Satan also does the same. …
God has the answer
At mass this morning Father Peter blessed all the fathers. I admit I accepted the blessing but I'm not sure I deserve it. I've nt sure that I have been all that good of one. Oh, my kids have turned out great, both are married, I have four and 2/3 grandchildren, and they are doing …

Palm Sunday Thoughts
On a cold but sunny Palm Sunday, I figure it is a good time to reflect over the last year of my life, after all it was just about a year ago that I began attending Sunday Mass religiously (pardon the pun). I have come a long way in the last year but I still …
Believers and Non-believers
As I sometimes have a tendency to do, especially when I have too much time on my hands, I think too much. And when I think too much, I have to post about it which can lead to some very strange insights. Here comes one now... I had a comment on this morning's post from …
It All Starts With Faith
It all starts with faith, without it we have nothing. Sunday's Gospel from Luke 13: 1 -9 includes the parable of the fig tree, in which a man has planted a fig tree which has borne no fruit for three years. He tells the gardener to cut it down, the gardener however talks him into …
Listen to Him
"And a voice came from the cloud saying, 'This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.'" This comes from today's Gospel, Luke 9:35. Do you listen? Do you even know when He is speaking to you? Jesus speaks to us everyday, and all we need to do to hear is to listen. Unfortunately …
