Ask, Seek, & Knock
Ask, Seek, & Knock In my mind,I have been pondering the world’s mindset of Advent, the Season of Christmas. A new year to follow the Church’s calendar brings me to try to deepen my faith, Christianity, when I feel the weight of the world’s view trying to eat away at the beautiful Christmas Story of…

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…

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…

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…

Oh, Christmas!
In my mind, I am thinking how can Christmas be just THREE days away? My heart starts beating faster just thinking about it. The sounds, smells, businesses buzzing, and humans scurrying around everywhere! It can drive a person mad. Let’s talk about the slowness of the postal service and all of the UPS and FedEx…

Butch the Baptist
In my mind, I have been trying to be positive about life. It is becoming harder and harder for me to ignore my limits and push forward to complete this race. One thing that I know for sure is that races end. I want to do my very best and you should, too. Two men…

Are you there, God?
Hosea 10:12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. In my mind, I have been pulled in so many different directions. In the past month, I have been to…
