Bucket Lists
Bucket List In my mind today, I am thinking about “Bucket Lists.” When my body began betraying me in 2011, I felt that it was only going to progress. Why? I had an aunt who started falling at the age of 38, her legs would give out underneath her without warning. She became so weak…

Where is Sal the ALS Gal?
Where is Sal the ALS Gal? In my mind, I have been so busy. I am still working on spreading the Light and Love to my corner of the world. September was so tough. I lost three weeks to the nastiest sinus infection I’ve ever had coupled with ALS. It took a toil on me.…

Say YES to the Light
Out of my body and into my mind, today I am thinking about holiness. I am thinking about that light of God that we are all gifted to have. The ability to say “Yes, God, send me. I want to do good in the dangerous, dark world. Let me bring Your light..remember that song, ‘This…

Easter is Coming!
In my mind today, I can’t believe that we are so close to Easter. In less than 4 days, we will be together celebrating the most important day in every human being’s life. Back row, I know that Christmas is super exciting because of toys. Toys break and soon you get tired of them. Remember…

Troublesome Children second week of Lent reflection
In my mind during this second week of Lent, I have been thinking about troublesome children. Even the ultimate Father has had trouble from the beginning with disobedient children. This week we read about Cain slaying his brother Abel. The always classic The Prodigal Son which has many levels of perspectives. Students, kids have been…

Shine on!
In my mind I am thinking about how time flies! It is already the end of the second week of Lent. Are you shining your Christ lights? Are you keeping your Lenten goals? If yes, great! If not, start today. Most people give up stuff for Lent: foods, vices, cursing or social media. These are…
