The Tile Craze

Over the past year or so, I’ve watched the Mahjong craze grow and grow. It’s all over social media; many of my friends have taken up the game, and at our church on Wednesdays, there is a faithful crowd that enjoys almost three hours of play. Even in our small community, there is a group…

Rainy Days and Sundays

Didn’t the chorus of that popular Carpenters song just run through your head when you read the title of today’s little blog? You can thank me later for planting that tune in your head for the balance of the day 🙂 . Yesterday was Sunday, and it was indeed a rainy one here in SW…

Lord and Friend

It’s been a busy week. My husband and I were just commenting last night on how fast the week has passed. Another busy day on tap for me at work, and I must say I’m looking forward to the weekend 🙂 . I don’t really have a special message today, friends. Instead, I thought I’d…

We Will Be Them

I’ve always been an old soul. My mom dubbed me that a very long time ago. I’ve always loved being around seniors. They are special people; they have our history within them. Last night we had one of our Summer Soirees with our parish family. It’s an opportunity to go to dinner in the off-season…

Just What We Need

Last night I sent a text to my older brothers. I found a meme on social media that just simply hit home. Actually, it was a picture of a T-shirt offered by a company called wooftees.com. The shirt has a cartoon picture of what appears to be a husky holding a cup of coffee and…

Happy Birthday America

250

Yes, we have a pretty major event happening tomorrow, July 4th. I remember our country’s 200th birthday back in 1976. I was actually in Germany; my dad was stationed there. The base did an amazing job making sure that the service members and their families had a celebration. I can’t believe that was 50 years…

Are You In?

Yesterday, one of our parishioners, well, more than that, a friend, messaged one of my coworkers and asked, “Are you in the office today”? This friend has had some serious health issues and a few surgeries recently. We’ve all been praying for her, and yesterday she wanted to take a short drive. We welcomed her…

Jesus Loves Me

I think I could end this little blog today with just those three words, Jesus loves me. Ok, see you all tomorrow 🙂 . I joke about that, but really, the message is just that simple. Through all of our trials, challenges, triumphs, and setbacks, He is there, and He loves us just the same.…

Indulgence

Last night, on the way home from dinner, I found myself listening to the Barry Manilow radio station on Pandora. Yes, truth be told, I’m a Fanilow, always have been. I can remember sitting in my bedroom as a kid and playing his albums, yes, the real vinyl albums, for hours on end. When we…
