Where better to ponder than my own blog? Perhaps you will chime in with your own blatherings? I am fond of saying: “I don’t think God put His mark on a certain religion and said “that’s that.” Not in regards to “Christianity” but instead to the myriad of religions. Is being Catholic better than beingContinue reading “Pondering”

Live, laugh, love
It’s not just a catchy slogan, although it kind of is! I think it incorporates all the ways in which we need to live (not should). Live with Jesus in your heart, be a good example, pray with abandon. Laugh, because it’s the “best medicine,” and it brings a smile. Love the world, open yourContinue reading “Live, laugh, love”
Macaroni necklaces
It’s VBS season (Vacation Bible School)! Teachers are using old-school projects like the macaroni necklaces (a personal favorite) as well as more modern; colored pasta, taping together newspaper to make capes, Oh how I miss those delightful summer days at church. Young minds ready to soak up and learn about the love of Jesus. ForContinue reading “Macaroni necklaces”
Prayer Assists
Last year I had my left knee replaced. What a journey that was! I learned to depend on the various assists that were suggested. A walker, physical therapy, the many exercises, learning how to manage stairs and then graduating to a cane. And now, my body moves easily without help. In our prayer life, thereContinue reading “Prayer Assists”
How the Spirit Moves
Each day I sit down to write and I never really know what the subject is. That is the great thing about letting the spirit move you. But how does it happen? I am not a theologian, but I would venture to guess it’s trusting your inner self, the E.T. light that God planted inContinue reading “How the Spirit Moves”
People Who Inspire
I have always followed the teachings of Mother Teresa; well before I was Catholic, her wisdom and love for those who in a ‘lesser than’ position in life has always inspired me. Also Thich Nhat Hanh, a global spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist, renowned for his powerful teachings taught me how to bring peaceContinue reading “People Who Inspire”
Like A Waterfall
This morning I attended a women’s once-a-month church group. We got to know each other with coffee and introductions. We watched a video on God’s love, talked in small groups after and then did a guided meditation prayer to end our time together. One of the examples of God’s love is that; like the enormousContinue reading “Like A Waterfall”
Holy Names
A few years ago, for my own faith studies, I wrote every name and description I could think of to describe God. I ended up with over 40 recipe cards! That didn’t suffice my learning, so I researched each name, really digging into the Bible and “Bible Gateway” (great app/resource)! FATHER Abba, parent, loving, guidance,Continue reading “Holy Names”
At the end of the day
Have you been kind? Thoughtful? Forgiving? Did you go out of your way to help a stranger? Or were you stuck in a rut, unable to do more than required? We all have days that are upbeat or down in the dumps. All that Jesus asks of us (ALL!!!) is to be His “hands andContinue reading “At the end of the day”
It’s okay to doubt
I think of Doubting Thomas, he didn’t believe that Jesus was back from death, he didn’t believe and needed proof. So Jesus produced it by having Thomas touch his wounds. That was all he needed and was able to join in the celebrations! We often doubt the circumstances we are in; wondering if Jesus isContinue reading “It’s okay to doubt”
