Dear Lord, Thank You for hope. Not just for things that are to come, but for the expectation that something–anything is coming our way. Sometimes, we take advantage of what we have around us, and we become complacent. It’s not until we take a good look at...

Well it’s been some time, and I wanted to get back into what I liked. Also, let’s be honest–the kids found it a blast as well. So this week, we’ve decided to set up a battle scene. I liked it a lot, and the kids had fun...

One can wonder, how can I write mainly about faith and yet stay silent the crisis that’s going on in the Church—that’s it, I’m not ignoring it. There is just too much going on with the crisis in the Church that one can either lose yourself or become disheartened...

What an early surprise for us! For the first time that I can remember (that is since I really started paying attention to the weather) we had snow in early this year. It was a huge surprise to see this much snow so early in the fall. Usually snow comes to us in maybe...

I’ve debated for a while if I should still write on my blog. I’ve wrestled with the idea of quitting, or just changing directions. Funny, I’m still at the same place (nursing-or breastfeeding) nine years later, but mentally, I’m in a...

Tied, cranky, hungry, and exhausted—I am no stranger to these feelings. In the first reading of today’s gospel we see a prophet at the end of his rope, and just about to give up. While having faith in the Lord, he simply recognizes how weak he is in his...

I’ve done my kind of spiritual reading mistakes. I love reading and I love reading for growth, but I’ve relied too much on my memory and honestly–after I finish the book, I tend to forget what has helped me reflect as I was reading it. Now,...

Sunday Readings Reading EX 16:2-4, 12-15 Ps 78:3-4, 23-24, 25, 54 Reading Eph 4:17, 20-24 Jn 6:24-35 When the readings of the day start with Exodus and the bread of life conversation, I can’t help but just pick up and listen more. I’ve always loved this...

I am currently reading this book called Sanctifying Your Daily Life. It is a book about work, and how we can find holiness in our daily lives. Even though it was written before my time (1946), there are so many things to take a way from it....
