Assurance of God’s Protection A Song of Ascents. 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills— from where will my help come?2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.4 He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade … Continue reading Psalm 121
“Where Your Treasure Is…”
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. - Matthew … Continue reading “Where Your Treasure Is…”
Why hope?
I've been wanting to share this Bishop Robert Barron's Sunday homily with you for a while. Today, as I type this, I finally have the chance to share these insightful, edifying thoughts on the 1st and Gospel readings from the good bishop. In this homily, we learn or are reminded, depending on who you are, … Continue reading Why hope?
Leadership Matters
Merry Christmas! Yes, it's the 26th as I type this, though it's late and almost the 27th. But that doesn't matter because we get to celebrate Christmas for an octave and beyond, really, if we want to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. Anyway, that's not why I'm writing tonight. I want to talk to … Continue reading Leadership Matters
Changing Hearts, Saving Lives
At the turn of the last century, it was common for small children to be exploited by all manner of business entities. Whether it was working in coal mines, or city factories, or farms or shops, many dangerous jobs were held by children and all kept these kids from school and making friends, with many … Continue reading Changing Hearts, Saving Lives
Dia de los Muertos
This is a pic of my parents when they were dating in the 1950's. Aren't they amazing? Our pastor invited us all to place photos on one of the ofrendas at our church for All Saints/Souls days. I saw my pic up last night with so many other photos of loved ones whose family members … Continue reading Dia de los Muertos

In this same … Continue reading Not enough love in the world…
Your Time…
I heard a song a few weeks ago while I was busy and distracted, as is so often the case. But the thing that caught my attention was the bagpipes I heard at the end of the song. I was aware of the melody, which was very sweet, but I did not hear the words. … Continue reading Your Time…
Love is Sacrifice
Yesterday was my birthday. My age doesn't matter that much for today's reflection, but the fact that it was my birthday does help explain why I found myself watching The Last Bus on one of the many streaming services to which we subscribe. The service asks who is watching. I have my own profile and … Continue reading Love is Sacrifice
A lesson I never forgot
My grandmother explained to me one time what the Incarnation of Jesus was like. I don't mean the Word becoming flesh, the theological explanation that John's Gospel gives us. She was a simple woman, though a wise one. And a pious one. She just wanted to teach one of her visiting granddaughters about the what … Continue reading A lesson I never forgot
