Sometimes God whispers, "I love you!" through a series of comments that simply affirm that teaching and writing are part of my vocation. Three little comments. Three different people. And in one a realization of something I long for that now I can adequately say. Thank You God! for these moments. For the whispers of love, … Continue reading A Moment of Gratitude

So, then he said
As part of our anniversary celebration my sweetie and I spent the day away from home. When we're out and about on a Sunday we often find another Parish to attend through Mass Times. "read this Scripture and add your name." The Priest celebrating Mass reminded us of the practice of placing ourselves in the … Continue reading So, then he said
If you want to make God laugh
tell Him your plans. Sometimes God says, "No, I know the plans I have for you, and quite frankly this isn't it" or "Maybe, but not today" or "I have something better in mind, Trust Me" or "I love you". When I started writing this post it was a full on whine because over the … Continue reading If you want to make God laugh
The Chip
Have you ever read Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece? I read this to small children a long time ago, in a place far away. I loved reading this book to small children. While it's written for children I think this book is for adults, to remind us that in and of ourselves we are indeed … Continue reading The Chip
Sometimes I hope
That I'm really listening. The other night as I climbed into bed *short girl/tall bed* I remembered a scene from Touched by an Angel where Monica, was standing in the middle of the desert. I don't remember why she needed to go there, in fact I'd say it really doesn't matter. But what I remember … Continue reading Sometimes I hope

It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful

Craftsmanship
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam. SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the … Continue reading Craftsmanship
So, I read a few blogs
I'm sure you're shocked. And there is often something beautiful and deep going on behind the scenes. I've been reading Easily Crestfallen, watching a journey of faith unfold. Ray reminds us of something beautiful, God is always with us. Always. As I read Ray's blog I kept hearing the lyrics to Don Francisco's, "Adam! Adam! … Continue reading So, I read a few blogs
