I write occasionally for the Women In the New Evangelization blog and today they published my latest entry. So I'm sharing here and encouraging you to take a look at their website if you click on the link! They are an awesome bunch of faith filled women! You might find what you're looking for there! … Continue reading “Go, make disciples”
On Human Hearts
I recently read a letter attributed to St. Teresa of Calcutta, yes, Mother Teresa; it's a plea from Jesus to "enter in." In a unique perspective, she speaks as Jesus and wants us to know that HE thirsts for us. He thirsts for me. He thirsts for you. The letter is written in the first … Continue reading On Human Hearts
John the Baptist and expectation management
Today we celebrate the birth of John the Baptist in the Catholic Church. The Gospel from Scripture, from Luke, Chapter 1, verses 57-66 and 80, is all about how Elizabeth and Zechariah's family expect them to name the baby after his father, but mom insists that his name shall be John, which means, "God is … Continue reading John the Baptist and expectation management

By now, if you know me or have been following my blog, you know that I'm a big fan of contemporary Christian music. Casting Crowns is one of my favorite bands in that genre.

Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' … Continue reading Following Our Servant Leader
Questions, questions
"And how does this happen to me...?" - Elizabeth in Luke's Gospel "How can this be...?" - Mary in Luke's Gospel I love that the two holy women featured at the beginning of Luke's Gospel both ask questions about God working in their lives. First, let's consider Mary, upon the angel Gabriel announcing that she … Continue reading Questions, questions
Please Share

It certainly means, please pass this on. But it also means share yourselves with others. Share your heart, your … Continue reading Please Share
Defender
If you're following my blog, you know that I love me some contemporary Christian music. And below is my latest favorite song by Francesca Battistelli. First of all, I just love her name! But that has nothing to do with the song. It's about letting God be the Lord of our lives and finding that … Continue reading Defender
The Armor of God
In Paul's Letter to the Ephesians he describes the "armor of God." Bible scholars agree that Paul would have had a familiarity with the arms and armor of the soldiers of the Roman Empire, particularly the foot soldiers or infantry. This is meant to remind us that we are in a battle and we have … Continue reading The Armor of God
