Sadness & Waiting

Today we wait. Holy Saturday, Jesus has died and we wait for His rising again. We are fortunate, we know the end of the story. Could you imagine though living in His time? I can just feel the sadness and despair his followers must have felt on this day back then. A friend of mine…

Forgive Them

Today is the most solemn day of the year. The day when one man gave His life for the world. Father sacrificed His only Son, sent from Heaven, given to us, to literally die for us. The depth of love that is shown in this act is beyond anything our minds and hearts can even…

Neighborhood Watch

There are just so many times when God knows what we need, and of course, He knows it before we do. It’s kind of how he works. Last night I got home from work a little late. As I came around the corner to our place, I was surprised, pleasantly so, to see four of…

Love and Acceptance

Why is it that we as humans always think we know best? Well, that’s a pretty open-ended question, isn’t it?

Humble Beginnings-Humble Givings

I attended a luncheon yesterday. One of our parishioners, a lovely woman spoke about her family business. She and her husband built this with many years of hard work and effort.

Me to Thee

It’s been one of those mornings. You know, you wake up before the alarm, and your mind is already filled with things on your to-do list. I got up early, moved through my normal routine, sat down to write this little blog, and boom got totally distracted. Before I knew it, I’d gone down at…

Bread of Life

I continued on my baking spree yesterday. Last week at the farmers market I picked up several zucchini in hopes of making bread. Time got away from me last weekend so late yesterday afternoon I took the time to put this together. It was a super easy recipe and everything fell together nicely with just…

The Do Tank

I was listening to a podcast the other day and the guest used a term that caught my attention, the “do tank”. I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly, but then he shared with the host what he meant. He said that his team is doing the work, they are not just sitting around thinking…
