If you're not familiar with St. Teresa of Lisieux, you really should get to know her. I've embedded a helpful link so you can learn about her "little way." It's a way of life and, when practiced out of love for God and His people, it leads to real joy and inner peace. I entitled … Continue reading the little way
On Sunday
I have a lot of religious books. A lot. Yes, I have a couple of Bibles, several books of saints' lives, tons of theology books since I recently completed studies for a degree in Theological Studies. And I have several biographical and autobiographical books about holy people who may not be official saints in the … Continue reading On Sunday
Nothing is impossible for God
It begins with a 'yes.' That's all. A serene, trusting, courageous yes to God's plan. We don't need to know all the details. We know that God has the ultimate Victory so there is no need to worry. We say 'yes' and wait in anticipation of the wondrous events that will unfold. Maybe sometimes they … Continue reading Nothing is impossible for God
The Life Of Jesus
"We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being given … Continue reading The Life Of Jesus

I heard this song this morning (video below). My new grandson and his mommy (our daughter-in-law) have been staying with us and will be here another week and a half. Such a JOY for my husband and me. While our son, the new dad, is off doing the nation's business (he's a Soldier and out … Continue reading More like Jesus
A Blessing
The video below begins with a beautiful blessing from the Book of Numbers (6:24-26). It's a favorite Old Testament Scripture passage. It's some of the last words I ever uttered in an 'official Army wife' speech. It was my husband's retirement luncheon and I was pleased to be given an opportunity to share my thanks. … Continue reading A Blessing
Thoughts on Ascension Thursday
Well, it's 40 days since the Resurrection. Jesus is risen! Alleluia! The tomb was empty and many were confused and upset by this event. What did it mean? The apostles knew what it meant because Jesus appeared to them multiple times after He rose from the dead and they had plenty of conversations. But now, … Continue reading Thoughts on Ascension Thursday
Thoughts on a Friday
Until very recently, the official state orders in New York were to return people to nursing homes even if they were not completely recovered from the Coronavirus. This allowed the virus to spread among those who were universally known to be the most vulnerable in our society. Too many died due to this policy. I … Continue reading Thoughts on a Friday

If you all like it, I may do it once in a while. Thinking maybe I should find a place to sit and give myself a … Continue reading Mountain Top Moments
I Know…
We're all going through trying times right now. And, as is the way of the world, someone always is enduring a trial. Actually, lots of someones. We carry crosses and we wonder why? Whether it's the loss of a loved one or an illness within our own bodies, or maybe it's something emotional or psychological … Continue reading I Know…
