Unity
In my mind I have been thinking about something that we all need, especially Christians. This week is prayer for Christian unity. Today our modern culture is confused.

Embrace the Gift
In my mind this past week, I have been busy. Monday was our Bible Study Christmas get together sharing time and conversation and prayers.

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
Because of a butt, my Saturday was jolted! The day was tentatively planned as a swimming day because my niece was bringing her friends. Day in the life of ALS: someone gets me out of bed to the potty, baths three times a week, then teeth, face, and hair. It takes a little bit of…
