😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. Wow, can you believe it’s September already?  Where has this year gone?  Reflecting on the past eight months it’s interesting to see the changes and comings and goings of relationships in my life. Thinking about relationships that were in my life on January 1st, I couldn’t have predicted someContinue reading “Wednesday, September 4, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. 1 Samuel 2-10: “One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel.  Samuel answered, ‘Here I am.’ AndContinue reading “Wednesday, August 28, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. Granted, I haven’t read it completely through a multitude of times, but I’ve read through the Bible enough to know that I will never completely understand the Bible in my lifetime. What I do know is that as I grow more in the Spirit, I’m able to understand howContinue reading “Wednesday, August 21, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you.  Sunday during Father’s homily he said something that was very sobering and brought tears to my eye.  I have to tell you, they weren’t happy tears, they were because of my recognition of failure. Father was talking about his first parish assignment as a priest and shared with usContinue reading “Wednesday, August 14, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. Earlier this week Brian and I celebrated our 18th anniversary by spending a few days in the Traverse City, MI area. Wow!  I’m really in awe of the beauty God created in that area. Sure, being in the Dayton, OH area we see flat corn fields all of theContinue reading “Wednesday, August 7, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. I know we’ve all had those moments looking at a picture of ourselves when we start picking on ourselves. I don’t like this…  I don’t like that…  Delete!  I’ve come to a point in my life that I don’t worry so much about that stuff. I’m comfortable with whoContinue reading “Wednesday, July 31, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you.  Surrender?  Everything?  I’ve been working on a project recently and I’ve heard myself say out loud on multiple occasion regarding that project, “I want whatever God wants.”  But later I’ll try to control the situation and give it a “Not that.” or “I want it this way.”  This pastContinue reading “Wednesday, July 24, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. I’ve been staring at my phone for over an hour trying to put into words what God is speaking to me, but all I’m hearing is “Be still.”  This past weekend we went on a camping trip with some of our kids and grandkids and at one point Brian askContinue reading “Wednesday, July 17, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. This past week I’ve had a couple God realization moments.   First, there are many times in our lives that we get delayed for whatever reason and it can be frustrating. The majority of the time we have no idea why we were delayed or what that delay helpedContinue reading “Wednesday, July 10, 2019”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you.  I’ve known for many years that I very much enjoy serving others. It’s not just an opportunity to help someone, but also to teach and guide.  Something that I recently discovered about serving others at work is that I get rather frustrated when I don’t have the knowledge toContinue reading “Wednesday, July 3, 2019”
