God Centered
A friend of mine shared something on social media yesterday. It’s a wonderful story about the Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Even if you are not officially an Indiana fan, you have to admit that the championship game the other night was unbelievable in many ways. I wanted to share this story here for several…

Drop I
There’s an old saying, “There’s no ‘I’ in team”. It’s pretty cliche’ I guess, but it’s very true as well, figuratively and literally. There is also no ‘I’ in Jesus or Father. Hmmm, great observation on my part, right? Well, just hear me out for a moment. I was walking this morning, thinking about projects…

Lost and Found
We got a call yesterday from one of our parishioners. John had lost his phone and glasses and was fairly certain that he had left them in the pew where he had been sitting on Sunday morning. I asked my facilities manager to go on the hunt for the missing items. He searched everywhere in…

The Touch
Yesterday I was at church longer than usual. I actually went to two services. “Wow, she needed some extra Jesus”, you are probably thinking. Well, I can always use more Jesus, although that wasn’t the reason for two services. I’m fortunate to be close friends with the world’s best photographer team, and yesterday they came…

Trust Him to Guide
Do you believe that Father brings people into our lives for a reason? I certainly do. I don’t believe there are coincidences; I believe that the Lord has a plan for all of us and uses all things for good. I know there are times when we face challenges and definitely don’t feel like anything…

Look Past It
I’m guessing, if you’re like me, you’ve had times in your life when you’ve felt slighted, wronged, or you’ve felt like something just wasn’t fair. Yes, there have been a few times in my life when I’ve been there, done that. As parents, we try to teach our kids that life is not always going…

Give Up Giving Up
Many years ago, when we still lived up north, the Priest at our church had an answer to “Father, what are you giving up for Lent?”. He would always say, “I’m giving up giving up”. I used to think that was his polite way of saying that he wasn’t giving up anything for Lent. Well,…

Sticking To It
Yep, that’s what I’m doing today. One of my first 2026 posts in this little blog was about taking the time to work on the paint-by-number that I purchased at Christmas back in 2020. Yes, five years ago, and I haven’t come close to finishing it. This is the year that I do. I encouraged…

Challenge or Opportunity
I was listening to a podcast this morning while walking. The co-hosts were discussing fitness, and one of the important pieces they focused on was dealing with stress. We all know that stress in our lives is not a good thing, and how we handle it really does play a part in our overall health.…

God Restores
Today we’re going to spend the day putting away Christmas. Even though there are still a few days of those 12 days of Christmas remaining, we don’t have to have the decorations up to celebrate them. I must admit, there is a feeling of newness when we get everything put nicely away, do a little…
