I have been sharing the Rosary for Warriors for close to 15 years and suddenly, within the last week, it has started to really spread around the country and even the world! To say I am grateful is an understatement. To say I am relieved is an accurate description. I was NOT a devotee of … Continue reading Rosary for Warriors update
A prayer to share
This is a prayer I've been praying for over a decade. Because the US Military has had Troops deployed to hostile lands for a long time. The latest news with missiles flying into Iraq is disturbing, as is the deployment of thousands of Soldiers at one time. But the U.S. has had people in harm's … Continue reading A prayer to share
MATTHEW 8:5-11
Today's Gospel reading is one of my absolute favorite New Testament accounts. You know the one. Jesus is approached by a Roman Centurion who asks Jesus to heal his servant. Everyone agrees that this Soldier is a good man and so Jesus says he will go with this 'enemy of the people' to do as … Continue reading MATTHEW 8:5-11
Good things take time
Yesterday I participated in a Labyrinth walk. If you've never heard of one, don't worry about it. Neither had until 2 weeks ago. My grad course on Spiritual practices included an introduction to this medieval practice and the retreat center/mission where my class takes place has an actual labyrinth emblazoned on a very large canvas. … Continue reading Good things take time
Memories of Halloween from an Army Wife
Halloween always brings back wonderful memories of our kids getting ready for trick or treating and the happy chaos that ensued! We had many of our Halloweens in Germany since we spent 14 years of my husband's Army career over there. It was a lot of fun because we always lived on post so we … Continue reading Memories of Halloween from an Army Wife
Peloton
I like to listen to podcasts in the car as I travel back and forth to classes. It's about a 40-50 minute drive most of the time. I also like to listen to various podcasts at the gym. Yesterday morning I listened to a Catholic Stuff You Should Know podcast while working out on the … Continue reading Peloton
One, good friend
I received this video from my dad in an email a couple of days ago. It's a beautiful little story about a humble, unassuming factory worker named Ben who pays his respects each day to the Lord. I don't want to spoil it if you haven't watched it yet. So go do that. I'll wait … Continue reading One, good friend
“Jesus I trust in You”
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?
