He Made US

I was having dinner with some folks last night, several were much younger than me, like my youngest daughter’s age. So, yes, young enough to be my children. I was listening to their conversation about technology. They talked about how they don’t use cash, they use Apple Pay for everything, they even use their watch…

1000 Ramblings

Wow, today, this little blog that I’m writing, well, it’s my 1000th. It’s hard to believe that I’ve written that many of these and it’s even harder to believe that you’ve all been here to read my little ramblings 🙂 . When I started this little blog, almost three years ago, (July 17, 2022), I…

Visiting Dad

We’re wrapping up the visit with my stepmom today, heading to Tampa to visit my dad. He is buried in the Florida National Cemetery there. It’s been a while since we have been there, last December for the Wreath’s Across America Event. My dad isn’t really there, just his human shell, I know that he…

But I Wanted

Recently I’ve been having conversations with friends about various events in their lives. One was in the middle of a deal to open her own business. Another was planning a lengthy trip.

Just Get Me Through

A friend and I were talking via text yesterday afternoon about the crazy schedules in our lives right now. It seems like we have just gotten up and before we know it the sun is setting, and the day has flown by. We’re juggling work, and home life, weekdays and weekends are filled, and the…

Well, exactly three months later, we are finally back home in our place. As with all construction or remodeling, things took longer than planned, but I’m telling myself not to focus on the length of time but instead to enjoy being back in our home. It was late last night when we moved the last…

Father Forgive Them

Today is the second day of the Triduum, Good Friday. The day that Jesus fulfilled the scripture, having completed all that he was asked to do. Last year in this little blog I shared my thoughts about Good Friday, this most solemn day. I reshare that blog here as I truly don’t believe there is…

Weekend of Messages

I took some time off over the weekend from this little blog. I needed to let my mind rest a bit, and we had a busy few days at church. I mentioned on Friday that our Bishop was in town for his annual visit, so many events scheduled, including confirming many parishioners 🙂 . He…

Being Productive

I pretty much ask Father every day to guide me to do His work, as I work. There are those days when I look at the clock and wonder where they day went and wonder just what have I accomplished. Don’t get me wrong there is usually a list of things I’ve “done”, but did…

Opening and Closing Doors

I’ve shared here in previous little blogs that I have a close friend, a priest, who shares a scripture reading and morning reflection each day with me. I’ve come to start my day with these, even before I have my morning chat with Father. I time things so that I can read the message from the…
