Back with My Buddy
Last year I shared a story about becoming friends with a very handsome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Toby. He’s the fur baby of one of our neighbors named Joe. You see, Joe lost his wife to cancer last year and Toby was very close to her. When Joe and Toby came back down for the season, Toby…

If it Helps…
Each morning and evening as I spend time with Father I make a point of praying for people by name. I pray for those who are facing health challenges, those who have lost loved ones, and those who are traveling, whatever the reason, I just make a point of naming them in my prayers. Father knows the…

My relationship with him has kind of been on “auto-pilot” for the past few weeks and that isn’t where it should be. I…

Reconnecting

Give it a Try
This week there is a class taking place in our parish hall. It’s called an “icon writing” class. I found the title interesting, especially after realizing what the class teaches. The participants are painting a picture, an “icon” of Mother Mary and baby Jesus. Think of a cross between a paint-and-sip party and a fancy paint-by-number. Over the past…
