It’s not a secret that I listen to mass on my way to work in the morning. I arrive at work after the homily and the prayers of the faithful if they happen to say them that day. What I like about it is that I can listen in the quiet morning and it usually… Continue reading Are you a watcher or a doer?

What does transfiguration mean?
This week, Lent is underway, and the Gospel reading is all about Jesus’ transfiguration. Three of his disciples were with him and saw him in all his divine glory. I have heard this story many times and never thought about it too much. Transfiguration is such an interesting word. According to the dictionary it means… Continue reading What does transfiguration mean?
Is God talking to you today?
I spend a lot of time talking to God, in prayer, in praise, and just plain old conversation. I sometimes wonder if He’s talking back and I’m just not listening. Do you ever feel that way? There are definitely times in my life where I knew God was talking to me. The start of this… Continue reading Is God talking to you today?
What is your intention for Lent this year?
Today is Ash Wednesday, the day that Christians and Catholics all around the world are marked with ashes. It’s the first day of Lent, the period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that leads up to Easter. It’s 40 days like the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert being tempted by Satan. What are… Continue reading What is your intention for Lent this year?
Are you living in the present?
Do you have a lot going on in your life right now? I know I do. I don’t get to share my thoughts here as often as I would like because I am pulled in many directions.

Have you been preparing for days for the storm that is upon us today? Since mid-week, all eyes have been watching the weather, kids (and teachers) wanting snow days, people busy buying every imaginable thing at the store, and prepping supplies for power outages. Right now, I am as ready as I am ever going… Continue reading Are you prepared to encounter Jesus?
Do you recognize Christ when you see him?
There is a saying that goes “I’ll know it when I see it.” This phrase applies to many areas of our lives- the perfect gift, paint color for the kitchen, appliance, car, even relationships! Sometimes we just know when something is the right thing or when someone is the right person. I wonder if this… Continue reading Do you recognize Christ when you see him?
Do you have a joyful heart?
I’m feeling pretty joyful today. I’m sitting with a warm cup of tea and there is snow falling outside. I have always loved snow, especially when I don’t have to go out in it! Since I live in the south now, it’s a treat to enjoy it for a few days. There is certainly the… Continue reading Do you have a joyful heart?
Do you know that God walks with us always?
It’s really dark this time of year. Early in the day. I’m sure that many of you go to work in the dark and drive home after work in the dark. I just want to hibernate sometimes and wake up when it’s light outside! Does your life feel like that at the moment? Like it’s… Continue reading Do you know that God walks with us always?
