God’s Creation Can Be Unruly
Carl has “deer” issues. He put out an array of flowers in big pots around his home. The next day, he went out to check his plantings. Many of the flowers — gone. He knew the culprits were the deer who thrive in his neighborhood. This community has many homes and cars that move about.…
The Cross Still Stands
It is clear I keep my eyes and ears wide open for God-ideas that give me content for my daily blogs. And, that content comes from various places — God’s creation (like this sunrise yesterday), a scripture reading, praying, scrolling my social media platforms, or something a friend said.

Peace Even When Anxiety Comes in Like a Flood
I love the words of St. Francis’ Prayer that goes “Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace”. That is sincerely my prayer — to be a peacemaker AND to live in that peace. But, HELLO, anxiety! After two beautiful days in Tulsa, the finale was to be another first-weekend-of-November Sister Marie Pierre Retreat at…
