For the Love of Others
This blog today is one of those “Guilty as charged” talks that I know I need. I am taking this “schooling” lesson to heart and to my cell phone. I read an article about cell phone etiquette and here I am passing along what I read! My cell phone is an appendage to me EXCEPT…
Living an Exclamation Point Life
I apologize for the consistent “going home” blogs for many days now. I guess I can’t help myself. The “going home” part of our lives is a crowning achievement for those of us who believe there is life after death. My dear mother-in-law exited this life on earth, Saturday, October 15th, and her life here-after…
Excuse me. Do you have a minute?
Do you have intimidating people in your life who make you feel a little “less than” when you need a few minutes of their time? After all, they’re busy people and you don’t want to distract them from their project at hand. I have several people like that in my life and to protect the…
2022 is a Good Year for Getting Engaged

Hiding Behind our Computer AND our Masks
I have close people in my life who will often Facetime me to show me something or to simply have a face-to-face conversation. It’s a great way to close the distance between us. But I’ll be honest with you — it often catches me off-guard because I’m still in my gown and robe and my…
How Can We Possibly Pray Without Ceasing?
Was St. Paul delusional when he wrote those words “Pray without ceasing?” (I Thessalonians 5:17). But, first came Jesus Who said to “always pray”. “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should ALWAYS pray and not give up.” (Luke 18:1) Honestly, I’m doing good to have my morning prayer time…
