My latest entry is up on the Women in the New Evangelization website! WINE is a fabulous initiative to get Catholic Women together to learn and grow in their faith, and to evangelize to others who do not know God or the faith, even if they were raised in it! It happens, believe me! I … Continue reading “Jesus I trust in You”
Luke 7:1-10
When Jesus had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a servant who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his … Continue reading Luke 7:1-10
How’d I end up here?
I'm going back to graduate school next week. Yikes! I am almost positive that this is what I should be doing. In fact, the only trepidation is my own lack of confidence in my mental abilities at this point in life. I'll be 58 in a few weeks. What am I thinking? I started a … Continue reading How’d I end up here?
Pursuit of Happiness – 2
I'm re-blogging a post from October of 2017. It's about happiness. I am sharing again because I have a lot more followers now than I did back then. And I'm sharing because I wrote recently about the Nation's founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence. It starts there and moves on to some personal stuff. … Continue reading Pursuit of Happiness – 2
The Army Spouse Handbook
When I was a young Army Spouse a few decades ago, I was very fortunate to have seasoned, experienced Army Spouses share traditions and protocol, customs and courtesies, of the Army with me. It happened on 3 distinct occasion that I can recall. But it happened informally on countless other occasions when I watched and … Continue reading The Army Spouse Handbook
Another WINE entry
So, a couple of Sundays ago, another of my posts was first shared on the Women In the New Evangelization blog site. And, because I am such a dope sometimes, I forgot to post it here, too! Thankfully, they archive all their old bloggers' entries and I was able to capture the link to share … Continue reading Another WINE entry
God’s Immanence*
I was riveted to my MacBook monitor earlier watching a Bishop Barron video from his travels around Italy and Spain working on his latest Pivotal Players installments. He was speaking about St. Ignatius of Loyola and his thoughts on finding God in the ordinary, in our every day experiences. Something as simple as looking at … Continue reading God’s Immanence*
Mentors
Sometimes in life we want to know the answers to some tough questions. Or at least they seem tough because our life experience is not sufficient enough to provide us with the answers. Maybe it’s due to our education level, whether that’s formal or just the ‘school of hard knocks’, but for some reason or … Continue reading Mentors

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”
“…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”
