The first daily reading on Thursday is from the Book of Genesis. I intended to post this yesterday but I had some unexpected developments that kept me away from home all day. Nothing bad; just time consuming. But I had some thoughts so I'm sharing them! The Old Testament reading is the continuation of the … Continue reading “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat”

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
“…to give you a future of hope”
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2019/06/26/two-us-troops-killed-in-afghanistan/#.XRTg3wohaF1.email When ever Troops are killed in action (combat zones), I usually curse upon learning of the losses. It's not very pretty or classy, I suppose, but it's my honest reaction. I used to do that when Sean would notify me of deaths in our unit when he was a Brigade Commander, too. That visceral … Continue reading “…to give you a future of hope”
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
Who Am I?
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. And the title for today's entry is the name of one of their songs; it's a great meditation song. The video … Continue reading Who Am I?

Following Our Servant Leader
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' … Continue reading Following Our Servant Leader
Please Share
I often read things that I think are going to be beneficial for others' well-being and I ask my friends on Facebook or my followers on Twitter to "Please share." This can have a double meaning. It certainly means, please pass this on. But it also means share yourselves with others. Share your heart, your … Continue reading Please Share
Love Them Both
Earlier this month I was honored to attend the San Diego Association for Life's quarterly meeting. It is a group of non-profit organizations who exist solely to help women of our greater community choose life. I wrote several months ago about how I thought the pro-life movement was not doing enough to let the public … Continue reading Love Them Both
