I wept
In my mind, I am remembering the verse, “Jesus wept.” As he peers down from the right hand of the Father, I wonder if His eyes fill with tears. Transitioning my mass times from early morning to Saturday at 5 PM because new seasons and chapters of my life with ALS has been tough but…

Because of a Butt

Let’s Light Up Lent
In my mind today, I am thinking about Lent, the forty days before Easter. Back row lint is in your jeans pockets and between your toes but Lent is a holy preparation time for Christians; we fast, pray, reflect on Scripture, and focus on what we need to do better. Yes, back row. We do…

Hotline to Heaven
The Heaven Hotline In my mind today I felt Heaven and Earth meet. It all started with church.. I rolled into church as usual, saying hello to everyone that I met. Feeling our church family love all around us. I paused by the columbarium where the ashes of our loved ones are placed. I looked…
