“Granny Is Still Teaching Us”
We are fast approaching Christmas. It’s a time of preparation…get the tree, buy the presents, decorate the home…and hopefully prepare our hearts. For many years we tried to get our shopping done prior to Advent so we could minimize the distractions during Advent…. it’s worked to some degree. As I get older I sometimes think … Continue reading “Granny Is Still Teaching Us”
“There’s Plenty Of Pie”
Growing up I came to understand the “pseudo universal earthly truth” that there’s only one pie; if you get a bigger piece, than I get a smaller piece. There’s just so much….. if I win, you lose…. if you win, I lose. Actually it’s not really a “universal earthy truth”, but it’s pretty much how … Continue reading “There’s Plenty Of Pie”
Mary Can Teach Us A Lot
Like Mary, who pondered all these things in her heart, the feast of the Immaculate Conception should cause us to ponder. It seems much of God’s plan for our redemption is not obvious to us and should be a cause for pondering, for allowing the Holy Spirit to shed light on the truth. The archangel Gabriel … Continue reading Mary Can Teach Us A Lot
Pay Forward The Kindness We’ve Received”
I’ve always enjoyed reading the book of Tobit where the archangel Raphael, in the disguise of a man, accompanies and saves Tobias from terrible danger. Raphael is powerful, kind, humble and works behind the scene. He is a true friend. Who has been my “Raphael” over my lifetime? As I look back over my past … Continue reading Pay Forward The Kindness We’ve Received”
Life Tests What We Profess.
Sometimes in prayer I get “lost in the Lord”… his words and ways come into focus…. I profess my love for the Lord and my desire to do his holy will. As I jot down thoughts in my journal … directions and plans and hopes and dreams become more clear. I feel courage increasing. It doesn’t … Continue reading Life Tests What We Profess.

“Moses, The Meekest Of Men”
Originally Posted August 5, 2021 Meekness is often considered a weakness….”wishy washy…going along with anything, Casper Milk Toast….”. A better definition is “strength under control” …. “allowing God to defend you”. Moses was called the meekest man on the face of the earth. (Numbers 12:3) In today’s reading the brother and sister of Moses tried to push … Continue reading “Moses, The Meekest Of Men”
God Is At The Helm
I can often find myself pondering the state of our country and the recent decisions and directions that seem to be pushing us over the side of a cliff. I regret these actions; they cause me to fear for the future of our nation. I often recall that the health of a democracy depends on … Continue reading God Is At The Helm
