It’s Wednesday again, but I am doing things a bit differently. Usually, on Wednesdays, I post something on my Facebook page about prayer and gratitude. Often, I post late at night. (I am definitely a night owl.) Today I am posting early! But as this post is titled, I am trying to find my way…
It’s NOT Wednesday! It’s Thursday, but God creates every day, so here I am. By the time I pondered posting this last night, I was just too tired. The days are technically getting longer, but my body can’t tell the difference yet! I am working on some writing and stamping projects, very much aware of…
In July, I posted some news about a very encouraging consultation I had with an orthopedic surgeon in Chicago. We discussed possibilities for hip replacement, but first I needed to, literally, get moving. I have had about 12 physical therapy sessions, plus I am moving a bit better at home. (Still using my wheelchair, but…
It’s Wednesday! True confession here…I have been looking through my pictures with verses and wasn’t sure what to post. I looked through other pictures without scripture verses, then tried to select a good verse. Instead, I am sharing this fun picture taken by my sister-in-law, Nancy, a while ago and I am pairing it up…
Hello friends, and Happy Wednesday! I have had an interesting week so far. I had a big project planned for next week that has been canceled. While I am a bit disappointed, I know the time I now have open can be used in other ways. This other project was making me a bit nervous…
This is the reflection I gave to my Lay Dominican group on Holy Saturday morning. I felt a bit of irony as I tried to prepare for this reflection. Easter weekend, what could be better? But as I looked at the readings and pondered over various thoughts from many great Christians, I also saw how…
On August 1, 2020 I made my Final Profession (finally!) as a Lay Dominican, and today is the Feast of St. Dominic!. It was a long process, and I know I will always have more to learn. Our chapter had been meeting via conference calls for several months, but this month we were able to…
I presented this reflection to my Lay Dominican group, the Mary Magdalene Chapter in West LaFayette IN. Due to social distancing, we met via conference call. I look forward to seeing my friends again soon! Who is Jesus? This is the principle question we must ask ourselves and those we love. Who is this Jesus…
This week, I am attending the annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Women. I have been serving on the Peoria Diocesan board since 2015; as President since 2016 (insert gasp!) Founded in 1920, NCCW has resources available for parishes across the country, and I am looking forward to meeting new friends and connecting…
I still drink lots of tea, and today I was thinking about the abundance of drinking water in my community. So, I have decided to share this post with #WorthRevist linkup, found at Reconciled to You and Theology is a Verb. (It’s been a while!) Be sure to check out the other posts listed there.…
