I write occasionally for the Women In the New Evangelization blog and today they published my latest entry. So I'm sharing here and encouraging you to take a look at their website if you click on the link! They are an awesome bunch of faith filled women! You might find what you're looking for there! … Continue reading “Go, make disciples”
John the Baptist and expectation management
Today we celebrate the birth of John the Baptist in the Catholic Church. The Gospel from Scripture, from Luke, Chapter 1, verses 57-66 and 80, is all about how Elizabeth and Zechariah's family expect them to name the baby after his father, but mom insists that his name shall be John, which means, "God is … Continue reading John the Baptist and expectation management
Following Our Servant Leader
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' … Continue reading Following Our Servant Leader
Please Share
I often read things that I think are going to be beneficial for others' well-being and I ask my friends on Facebook or my followers on Twitter to "Please share." This can have a double meaning. It certainly means, please pass this on. But it also means share yourselves with others. Share your heart, your … Continue reading Please Share
Choices
This is about choices. We all are able to, and indeed should make, many important choices in our lives. We can try to go through life never making any great, personal decisions. Actually, it's pretty easy, isn't it? And then we can blame everybody else for our confusion, and fear, and uncertainty. I prefer to … Continue reading Choices
The Ultimate Project

I did that because it has been a year since my husband retired after 37 years of exemplary and faithful service from the United States Army. I didn't feel I could continue using the "Army … Continue reading The Ultimate Project

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…
Love one another; forgive one another
I am a hopeful person. I have this hope because of the Lord God, Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Spirit who dwell within me. Hope brings much joy and peace which are awesome 'benefits' of that theological virtue! But amidst my hope these days, I find it increasingly difficult to find Christ in … Continue reading Love one another; forgive one another
The Lamb
As we approach Palm Sunday and the final days of this Lenten season, I thought it was time to share this poem I wrote several years ago... Can you see Him? He's there with that angry mob. No, he's not he menacing one. He's the peaceful One, the serene One, the holy One. He's gentle … Continue reading The Lamb
