When God Has Other Plans

Last week, a friend of mine got terrible news about her mother-in-law. She had a stroke and the outlook was not good. We all watched for updates as she was in ICU and unresponsive. The news the doctors gave was she probably would not recover. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you dread those words, the admission that the doctors…

No Connection – No Problem

Have you ever left your phone somewhere and realized later that it truly wasn’t the end of the world? Actually, it was kind of nice not to have it with you, to just enjoy the silence. I’ve found myself in that situation a few times lately, and yes I’ve enjoyed the break and have found…

Tingle from a Tune

I’ve written before that there are times when I have a morning or evening chat with Father, and I get an actual tingle. I think that’s his way of letting me know that He is there. I can’t really explain it, I just know that it happens and when it does, I feel such a…

Eclipse

Well, in case you weren’t aware, today we’ll experience a rare full solar eclipse. Depending on where you are there could be over four minutes, (weather.com says it could be as long as 7.5 minutes), of darkness during the daytime. Unfortunately like so many things in this world, even the solar eclipse has created ugliness…

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? Yesterday I mentioned here in this little blog that I had a few situations that I’m trying to resolve. These situations are really more just misunderstandings and the best way to handle those is to…

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. Actually, she shared their story which was quite inspiring. You see both she and her husband were raised in MN. They were both very…
