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…

Be An Example
Yesterday, on the way to work, I noticed that our local police were out in large numbers. I counted four along my route. They were in all types of vehicles: their standard Explorer, the stealthy Mustang, and the pick-up truck. One had pulled over a driver, I presume for speeding, but I don’t know that…

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…

Happy Birthday America
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Have a wonderful day, everyone. God Bless America!

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…

Walk with an Open Heart
This morning, as I often do, I asked Father what message I could share today. “Open your heart” is what I heard as I sat and prayed. Listening to our Lord is more about listening with your heart than your ears. How many times have you given the advice to someone who is trying to…

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…

I Couldn’t Write
I didn’t write a little blog yesterday. To be honest, I don’t think it would have been a good thing to do. You see, I was upset. I was angry, sad, disgusted, and several other adjectives I can think of. When I woke up yesterday, those feelings were still strong, and I thought it best…

All Will Be Well
Over the past week, I’ve heard this phrase from different people at different times. Last night we had dinner with some dear friends. Schedules have been crazy, and we just haven’t had the time to get together, so it was wonderful to reconnect. We were discussing our church project; they, too, are parishioners. We talked…
