Do you celebrate this holiday? Is it fun or spooky? I love fall, it really is my favorite time of year. It’s getting cooler, the leaves are changing, and I can wear pumpkins on my socks and t-shirts. Dressing up for Halloween can be fun, being someone else for the evening is a step away… Continue reading Halloween, a trick or a treat?

We know the “golden rule” but are we good at applying it? I try not to watch the news, but the evidence of war, violence, and people’s unkind acts are hard to miss. It makes me wonder about the people behind the acts. Who or what do they love? I can’t stop a war halfway… Continue reading All you need is love…

We get exactly what we need, at the right time. Can you see it? I had planned a different post for today, evidently God had other plans. I talked about angels already this week- the ones you can see. What about when things just “work out”? Are there angels in play? Probably. Who points us… Continue reading Divine intervention

Angels are always present in our lives, from the ones we can see to the divine. Angels aren’t just an ornament on my Christmas tree. They are real and they are in every part of our lives. Angels protect and defend us. Lately I have been thinking about the people in my life and how… Continue reading Angels are all around us.

The verses that we choose say a lot about our relationship with God. Do you have a favorite Bible verse? Many people do, they appear on signs, t-shirts, bookmarks, they are everywhere. My favorite is “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” and it hangs in my living room.… Continue reading What’s your favorite Bible verse?

What happens when we ask God to show up in our lives? When you are going through something, a family situation, a job change, and illness, do you wonder where God is in the midst of all of that? I think most people struggle with this. God doesn’t leave us. We leave Him, and if… Continue reading Are you there God? It’s me, Sarah.

We start learning prayers as small children, around the dinner table, in church, at school. I often recite them without thinking. It’s like putting on a familiar comfy robe, it’s comforting even if I am not sure why. St. Paul in his writing told us to pray without ceasing. Is that actually possible? In 2008,… Continue reading Prayer…what’s your favorite?

How we get the answers we are seeking??? Have you ever prayed about something (or someone) and wondered why you don’t have any answers? (only everyday, right??) I recognize that God’s time is not my time, I still want answers, sooner rather than later, don’t you? Patience grasshopper. It’s not always about the answers, sometimes… Continue reading I have questions!!

When the path suddenly changes do you freak out or trust the plan? Life is full of twists and turns, some of the changes in our lives are our choice, others are not. Right now, it’s not me that does not seem at peace. People in my life have had car trouble, tech trouble, job… Continue reading God’s plan is not in my plan!

What can we learn from St. Francis of Assisi? On October 4th each year, we celebrate the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. In churches all over last weekend, people brought their pets to be blessed. We know that St. Francis is the patron saint of animals. Did you know that he is also… Continue reading Lord, make me a channel of your peace
