I know, I know, I missed two days, but I promise to make it up to you. In my last post, I promised to go through my bible and locate all the passages that helped me get through my troubles, the ones that helped me to trust in God and to live one day at …

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 …
Narrow Paths and New Beginnings
For the past few months, I have been undergoing some transitions in my life. Since about January I have been preparing to move from the house we have lived in for the past 15 years, and the house that could be considered an ancestral home of sorts as it has been in the family for about …
The Same Only Different
Only five more days until Christmas. For some Christmas is a time for joy and happiness. For others, it can be anything but. For me, I am somewhere in the middle. I spend a lot of time reflecting on my life, where I was, where I am now, where I am going. This year is …
Trust in the Lord
The last few weeks have been especially hard for me. And I admit they have been testing my faith. There was a time when these same things would have beaten me but not this time. Why? Because this time, I have faith. I know that God is with me and will give me the strength …

I just got back from Mass, the first time I have been in some time. And once again I kick myself for not going every week because I really enjoy it. No matter what kind of week I have had I always leave feeling better. There is a certain kind of peace that comes over …
Don’t Worry – Be Happy
I haven't written about any quotes from my spiritual friends lately so here we go. Today I went back to my old friend St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei. He is talking about something I think we can all use more of - Serenity. First the quote: You are worried. Listen: happen what …
Another Coincidence – Nope
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 …
Choices and Grandchildren
This morning my fifth grandchild entered the world. Yes, it is an occasion of joy, but it is also an occasion of some sorrow and some depression. Anytime a new life enters the world, this is a joyful thing as God has created another being in which He can flourish. But therein lies the sadness …
