"And how does this happen to me...?" - Elizabeth in Luke's Gospel "How can this be...?" - Mary in Luke's Gospel I love that the two holy women featured at the beginning of Luke's Gospel both ask questions about God working in their lives. First, let's consider Mary, upon the angel Gabriel announcing that she … Continue reading Questions, questions
A challenge for teens…
I wrote this specifically for teens. Young people so want to be included, to not stand out, to be part of 'the group,' which ever group they have decided upon. The gauge as to what is acceptable or cool, or the 'in' place to be is so elusive and ever changing. But wanting to belong … Continue reading A challenge for teens…
The breezy part of the day…
"In the breezy part of the day..." God walked in the Garden of Eden at this time. Not sure when that is, but it makes sense. Spirit is closely linked to 'wind' or 'breath' in Hebrew. So it makes sense that when the Living God is physically present in the garden, in some sort of … Continue reading The breezy part of the day…
Let us love one another
Something to read and ponder. We should love one another. Let’s remember that before we do or say anything else to someone. On the internet or anywhere else. It’s a short time on this earth and none of us get out alive. Let’s make it as kind and compassionate a world as we can. Only … Continue reading Let us love one another

Well, I went to San Diego for a few days to receive some of our household goods in to our new home out there. And that was exhausting. Flying coast to coast is no picnic. … Continue reading “I am fearless”

“I Can Just Be Me”
https://youtu.be/0VRUU8UBXCk Today, as God would have it, I heard the above song on the radio as I was driving home from a trip to the adoration chapel at a nearby church. I found it speaking to me and found it on YouTube soon after I arrived home. As some of you who follow me know … Continue reading “I Can Just Be Me”
Thoughts while watching TV with my granddaughter
I was watching Trolls, the TV series, with my 5 year old granddaughter yesterday afternoon. She loves her some trolls! And, I have to admit, I was kind of getting into the characters and the plots myself. Of course, much of my joy was inextricably wrapped up in my little grandgirl's enjoyment of the shows. … Continue reading Thoughts while watching TV with my granddaughter
