😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter!  Something that I’ve been thinking quite a bit about lately is the Sacrament of Confession.  I’ve never been comfortable with this sacrament, but maybe that’s the point.  Yes, I get uncomfortable thinking about my sins, but that doesn’t even come close to how uncomfortable JesusContinue reading “Wednesday, April 24, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter!  I sat on my back porch last night to write to you, but very quickly I closed my laptop so that I could take in the evening.  It was a perfect 73 degrees, slight breeze from the south, the smell of fresh tilled dirt fromContinue reading “Wednesday, April 17, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter!  There has been a few big events in my life this past week.  1) Sold our home.  2) Celebrated my 38 year anniversary of my first day at U.

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  On Saturday I signed a document that will draw to a close one of the five longest chapters in my life so far.  After 27 ½ years, I signed a contract to sell our home.  At the time I purchased our home, I never imagined I wouldContinue reading “Wednesday, March 13, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  On February 26th I started reading, working, and praying my way through Matthew Kelly’s book 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory.  In my opinion, this book is a challenge and invitation to draw yourself closer to God, in and through the Holy Eucharist.  This book, with the assistanceContinue reading “Wednesday, March 6, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Brian and I are planning a pilgrimage to Spain to walk the 75 mile El Camino de Santiago, The Way of St. James.  We definitely have some preparation to do to get our bodies, particularly feet and legs ready for this journey.  We will need to prepareContinue reading “Wednesday, February 28, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  On my way home from exercise class yesterday evening, I found myself thinking about those in my family that I’m praying will choose to return to Christ.  My thoughts then turned to friends that also have family members they are praying will return to Christ.  My thoughtsContinue reading “Wednesday, February 21, 2024”
