Struggling with God
I recently watched a movie that came out several years ago starring Christian Bale as Moses. The movie, Exodus: Gods and Kings, is pretty good as a movie. Not always biblically sound, but there is an underlying truth there. Many of the elements of the Exodus story are included with a heavy dose of "poetic … Continue reading Struggling with God
Grace Notes
Hi, DIL followers! I started a podcast! It’s available on Spotify and it’s called…Grace Notes! You all should appreciate it more than most as I use my past blog entries that were inspired by various songs. I then share those reflections along with the recordings which are all part of Spotify’s immense library! You know … Continue reading Grace Notes
The Secondary Cause
I heard Father Mike Schmitz a couple of days ago on the Catechism in a Year podcast, (which I highly recommend!) speaking about Secondary Causes. I understand, sort of, Thomas Aquinas' argument that God is the Primary Cause and we are the Secondary Cause, or one of them, because there could be an infinite number … Continue reading The Secondary Cause
“Where Your Treasure Is…”

My age doesn't matter that much for today's reflection, but the fact that it was my birthday does help explain why I found myself watching The Last Bus on one of the many streaming services to which we subscribe. The service asks who is watching. I have my own profile and … Continue reading Love is Sacrifice
A lesson I never forgot
My grandmother explained to me one time what the Incarnation of Jesus was like. I don't mean the Word becoming flesh, the theological explanation that John's Gospel gives us. She was a simple woman, though a wise one. And a pious one. She just wanted to teach one of her visiting granddaughters about the what … Continue reading A lesson I never forgot
Home At Last
We've basically completed our move to Texas from California. It was hard, but not as difficult as so many other life challenges. And for me, it was coming home so that made any hardships or discomfort easier to endure. My husband, Sean, and I are in our retirement home. We hope/plan to live here till … Continue reading Home At Last
The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
I am sharing this late in the day because I've been visiting my grandkids! But today is the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene, so here's something I wrote a while to honor her faith in Jesus. I aspire to be like her. https://drowning-in-lemonade.com/2021/02/07/on-sunday/
