Love God, Love People
So I heard this song today on Sirius XM, the Message. It's a wonderful song that breaks it all down to the most basic level. This is it, folks! Listen/read the lyrics and the Scripture quote below it on the YouTube site. That's all there is, according to the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. … Continue reading Love God, Love People
Most High and Glorious God…

Brief thoughts on Ash Wednesday, 2020
On this Ash Wednesday, the start of our Lenten Journey, I just wanted to share this brief post I left on my Facebook page this morning.

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*
On Human Hearts
I recently read a letter attributed to St. Teresa of Calcutta, yes, Mother Teresa; it's a plea from Jesus to "enter in." In a unique perspective, she speaks as Jesus and wants us to know that HE thirsts for us. He thirsts for me. He thirsts for you. The letter is written in the first … Continue reading On Human Hearts
Words From A Little Child
Here's a poem I wrote as a gift for a friend many years ago. I gave it to her as part of the gift at her baby shower for baby #1. And I have shared it since with my own daughter when she was expecting her first baby! Kind of 'advice from the kid before … Continue reading Words From A Little Child
