1 John 4:8
It occurs to me… He loves them The ones who make me laugh, the ones who hold me when I cry, the bright ones, the sassy ones, the stubborn ones, the silly ones, the brave ones who don’t know they’re brave, the weak ones who know where to get their … Continue reading 1 John 4:8
#January6th
I hear that January 6th is some sort of anniversary. That's right, it's the Feast of the Epiphany, that glorious day, 12 days past Christmas when those amazing "wisemen" arrived from the East to bring gifts to the Christ child. For Catholic Christians, once Christmas day arrives, we begin to celebrate the epic event of … Continue reading #January6th

I often have the desire to pray and can't seem to focus long enough to do it well. I have been praying about that! … Continue reading Poco a poco

There was a lot of good stuff in those readings today. The Books of Jeremiah and Daniel are full of some amazing stories. And yesterday's installment included Jeremiah … Continue reading Keep your eyes on Heaven
