It’s Wednesday! I know I missed last week’s prayer post. I was so busy at the NCCW convention and even lost track of which day was which! Last Wednesday night, we celebrated 101 years of NCCW ministry with a fun birthday party. I even got to lead a dance line (but not conga!) through the…
I don’t follow Hollywood people or news much. Half the time, if something shows up on my newsfeed I don’t even know who the people are. But over the last couple of days, I have seen a lot about Chrissy Teigen and John Legend losing their preborn son due to miscarriage. The couple has posted…
It’s November 1st…Happy All Saints Day! I love this Solemnity and the time to recall all the wonderful saints who have gone before us. While I think of some of my favorites – Saints Dominic & Catherine of Siena, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, our Blessed Mother Mary – I also think of the countless saints whose…
Merry 5th Day of Christmas! No, my true love did not give me five golden rings today. But that’s okay; my wedding ring is all I need on my hands! Bruce and I did go shopping today for some great-nieces and nephews, because we have another Christmas gathering to attend this weekend. I hope my…
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the US. I am blessed to be visiting my mom in South Carolina for the week. Games of Yahtzee and comfort food have adorned the week, with plenty more to come! Here are a few random thoughts on some not-so-random blessings. My dad was transferred with his company right…
Remember when I said I was going to do one of these posts every Wednesday this month? Oh well… this turned into something different than originally planned, and is finally being completed. But hopefully, it will touch you in some way. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am continuing to keep myself focused on the…
Today, I am linking up to #WorthRevisit again with a post from three years ago. Today (September 8th), the Catholic Church celebrates the birth of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. In this post, I offer some of my limited understanding of this special feature of my Catholic faith. Be sure to check out other posts…
This past Sunday, Bruce and I attended a wonderful celebration: the Sesquicentennial of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rockville Indiana. Bruce was born in Belleville, IL but his family moved to Indiana when he was very young. His family eventually settled in Rockville, among the beautiful rolling hills and famous covered bridges of Parke County.…
October is upon us again. In many ways, it is my favorite time of year. Leaves are changing colors here in the Midwest and the temperatures are cool enough for sweaters but not so cold that I am frozen. Cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin spice treats warm my belly and make me happy. Bruce and I…
Saturday, Bruce and I returned from a wonderful two week vacation. We traveled to the southwest region to see one of his brothers, and one of mine. Along the way, we also saw several national parks and two of my online stamping friends. Upon returning, I posted a picture of our odometer: 4000.8 miles! We…
