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?
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*
