Happy Easter!! At the beginning of Lent, it seems like Easter is never going to arrive, we are just going to be waiting forever. All of a sudden, it’s Holy Week and there are so many services to attend. Each is different and beautiful in it’s own way, but if you attend them all you… Continue reading He is risen!
Who or what makes you brave?
Bravery has been on my mind this week. I pondered it last weekend when thinking of missionaries and St. Patrick. It has lingered in my mind all week- in a dream about Joan of Arc, and then references to Joan have popped up intermittently all week. So I took the nudge and looked up why… Continue reading Who or what makes you brave?
Did you know that St. Patrick was a missionary?
Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s day? There is an air of mystery about him. I feel that way about many of the saints of the early church. Thinking about the 5th century, I have to wonder what is fact and what is fiction. A few facts to ponder as we celebrate. We associate St. Patrick… Continue reading Did you know that St. Patrick was a missionary?
Happy Pi(e) day!
It’s March 14th- 3-14 so it’s Pi day! I think it’s an excuse for Math teachers to finally have a food day. Or even a good excuse to eat pie. I do enjoy a good slice of apple pie. Yum! This post is not about an apple pie, although I can relate it to that.… Continue reading Happy Pi(e) day!
Spring brings new life and opportunities.
What is budding in your life right now? Seasons change whether we like it or not and spring follows winter. Depending on where you are in the country (or world) right now, you might think I’m crazy for talking about spring- it’s still cold and dreary at your house. In my southern corner of the… Continue reading Spring brings new life and opportunities.
What does it mean to be a temple of God?
Lately, I have been pondering how Bible verses show up in our conversations, almost without us being aware. There are phrases that I hear and then later, I’m reading a blog or a Bible verse and there it is. It surprises me almost every time, and it should not. One such phrase that I hear… Continue reading What does it mean to be a temple of God?
Is your cup half full or half empty?
I’m a “the cup is half full” kind of person. I can find the silver lining in almost every situation. It can be challenging to look for something good in the midst of your struggles. Been there. Am there. So how do I do that? Good question. Yesterday, I decided to take a gratitude walk.… Continue reading Is your cup half full or half empty?
Do you sometimes feel like Job?
There are moments in my life when I feel like I am cruising along and everything is good, and then WHAM! Something comes out of nowhere and throws me for a loop. Then something else piles on, and one more thing, and on and on. It can get overwhelming. God is clearly testing me, not… Continue reading Do you sometimes feel like Job?
In the front row of life…
This morning I was with my friend and her family for mass, we weren’t even late but walking in with the opening hymn, the only place for all seven of us was the front row…..oh my! I am not a front row lover, but I know the kids enjoy it. There are less distractions and… Continue reading In the front row of life…
It’s leap day! What will you do with the bonus time?
Happy leap day! The special bonus day that we get once every four years to put everything in balance. You don’t think today is special? I woke up, that’s pretty special to me! I feel like I spend time sometimes thinking about what I would do with a bunch of “extra” time. Bake, read, sleep… Continue reading It’s leap day! What will you do with the bonus time?
