Lost Sheep
If you are new to reading this little blog you might not know the story behind the prayers I call for pretty regularly, for sweet Emily Rea. Emily is a niece of a good friend of mine. She has been missing since July 16, 2024, when she went paddle boarding in the Hungry Horse Reservoir…

Gone to the Dogs
Yesterday we had our final women’s luncheon of the season. It was special and my goodness the participation 🙂 . You see we had “Max” and “Tessa” visit. They are members of the Naples Police Department K-9 unit. Max is a 2-year-old golden retriever and Tessa is a 3-year-old black Labrador, and I can tell…

The Personal Touch
Yesterday our youngest had to have some minor surgery. Out of respect for her, I won’t go into all the details, just a weird thing that happened with her elbow. We’re still not quite sure what caused it, but we are thankful that the doctors acted quickly and she’s on the mend. It’s always scary…

The 50 Days
I took a break from this little blog yesterday to enjoy a day off. Holy week was a very busy one, culminating in a glorious Easter. We were all clean tuckered out you might say. I spent yesterday with some sun and salt water therapy, trust me I highly recommend it. We’ve moved into the…

Holy Saturday, the final day of the Triduum. Jesus lies in a tomb wrapped in linen cloth. A large stone is rolled in front of the opening and sealed for good measure. This morning as I thought about that first Holy Saturday I was imagining the despair the disciples may have felt. Their Lord, the…

The Triduum
The final days of Jesus’ life, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, the most solemn days of our Christian life. Today, we begin that final walk, the journey to the Cross—the Triduum, the three final days of Jesus’ life. The Maundy Thursday service has always been meaningful to me. During this service, we will…

The Walk Continues
Wednesday of Holy Week. This was the day that Mary anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. It was also the day that Judas made the decision that he would betray Jesus. In this little blog, I simply share a prayer in preparation for the next days ahead, as we remember the final walk He made…

Short Little Life Unites a World
Yesterday, a friend shared with me a story about a young family she knows. I’m going to try to share this story being respectful of this young family and yet sharing the incredible love of Christ that worked through the middle of it all. As I listened to the story of this family’s little girl,…

Holy Week
Yesterday we began Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I’m focusing this year on trying to be more present during this week to remember our Lord’s Passion and Death. Jesus gave everything for me, for us, and I’m going to do my best to remember the days leading up to and through it. I simply share…
