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”
The Reason for the World
I just heard a song yesterday for the first time. It's by one of my favorite Christian singer/songwriters, Matthew West. The lyrics are below.

That's the case with this … Continue reading The Crown
