My mother used to toss around the quip “only the good die young”. I never really thought too much about its meaning or origin.... lately I have wondered more about what it could mean. In checking it out, it seems like it has more of a pagan background than Christian. ("Whom the gods love dies young; Best go … Continue reading “Time To Get Holy”

“Jesus, Take Care of Everything”
I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse, but I tend to try and keep many thoughts in my mind at one time. I can go from one thought to another, to another, to another. It can be a bit like multi-tasking; trying to be efficient, I do several things at once. This … Continue reading “Jesus, Take Care of Everything”
“Hey, I’m Pretty Busy”
I was having a light conversation the other night with Judy and one of my daughters; we were chatting about our full schedules. I have to admit some of us got a bit defensive when the topic of a fresh assignment came up and who might be able to do it. A classic generalization surfaced, “well … Continue reading “Hey, I’m Pretty Busy”
“This Is The Day”
“This is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Ps. 118:24) Some days when I rise, I really don’t welcome the day. In fact it seems I’m immediately bombarded with negative thoughts; thoughts of all the bad news in the world…. the problems in our country, the … Continue reading “This Is The Day”

“Vacation”
Well it’s that time of the year when people go on vacation….. heading to the shore or the mountains or just hanging out at home. Even the Pope takes time off for vacation. With that in mind, the BLOG is going to take a vacation. I won’t be traveling to the Alps to ski like … Continue reading “Vacation”
“Thou Art God”
Last Sunday at Mass the communion hymn, ” In Every Age O Lord” , touched a longing deep in my heart. It’s based on Psalm 90 which reads, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.”(Ps. 90:2) At times, I can find myself overwhelmed … Continue reading “Thou Art God”
Waiting Can Be Tough
I can’t think of anything that is not affected by timing. It’s often not predictable or obvious, but still so important. Years ago a friend was helping to build a house… he had paused for a moment to catch his breath and stepped away just as a beam came crashing down right where he had … Continue reading Waiting Can Be Tough
God Never Puts Us On “HOLD”
Does God really care? Does he really pay attention to us, to our life, to our pain, to our suffering? Does he listen to our prayers? Why does he seem to leave us in our “mess” after we’ve cried for help? Have you ever asked some of those questions in your moments of pain … … Continue reading God Never Puts Us On “HOLD”
“ Timing ”
Originally Posted August 30, 2021 Timing is very important. “Take the chicken off the grill too early and you have raw chicken…. cut the prospect from the team before he’s matured and you may miss the next Stan Musial or Roger Staubach…” Anxiety and crises and curiosity can sometimes cause us to seek the status … Continue reading “ Timing ”
