A Year Stronger
We find ourselves again on the last day of the year. If you’re like me, you are wondering where the year went. Yes, it’s true, the older we get, the faster time goes. This morning, I looked back at my little blog post from one year ago today. As I read it, I realized one…

When Things Don’t Come Together
Last week, I had one of those unusual days. You know, everything was just off. I went to sign something, and my pen ran out of ink. Sent a document to the printer, and an error message popped up that I’d never seen before. A phone call asking questions about really off-the-wall things that I…

Be Present
Our 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service is made for kids. This service allows the children to participate. They bring ornaments (many of which they made several weeks before on Cookie Sunday) to the Creche to lay at the feet of Mary. Once placed carefully there with Baby Jesus, our priest will bless them along with…

The Eve
Christmas Eve. Just saying the words stirs up emotions, doesn’t it? Go ahead, say it, “Christmas Eve”. The thoughts that come to mind for me range from thinking about the Baby Jesus to the memories of Christmas past with our children. Yes, Christmas Eve, it’s a powerful time, emotionally, I mean. As I look back…

True Joy
Last night I was reading in my little red book, “The Practice of Religion”, which I’ve shared about before here in this little blog. It’s a wonderful book filled with prayers and small services to get you through all manner of life. I read evening prayer almost every night from it. Last night, though, I…

When God Says Enough
If you read this little blog daily, you probably noticed that I didn’t publish one yesterday. There is a story behind why that I would like to share. I’ve talked a little bit here about a very close group of friends who, over time we have we have become prayer warriors as well. Well, a…

A Price
I’ve shared with you all before that sometimes I come to this little blog and don’t have a clue what I’m going to say. Father usually gives me a boost, and everything falls into place. Well, this morning I had just the opposite issue. I have several thoughts that I’d like to share, and I’m…

The Sand Dollar
A friend of mine gave me a little gift over the weekend. I didn’t get a chance to open it until yesterday, and when I did, I was curious. Inside was a plastic bag with three sand dollars in it. Two of them were a good size, and the third was just a small one.…

Share a Little Jesus
A few months ago, I shared here in this little blog about a “Little Jesus” that a friend had given me. Over the course of several weeks after receiving Him, I started to see these little figures in various places, restaurants, stores, even at the car rental counter in the airport! I began carrying mine…

Dual Meaning
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Believe sung by Josh Groban. This is the title song for the movie Polar Express. I’m sure you are all familiar with the plot. A young boy has come to that sad point where he no longer believes in Santa, or at least he’s close to it. The…
