    Santa jumped out of his ramshackle sleigh.  Waving his arms around in dismay yelling about we have no time to delay. The elves were off the chain and protesting in the driving rain On strike demanding the gifts go by train. Rudolph flew through the middle of the fray pulling a new sleigh and saved…

    In my mind this past week, I have been busy. Monday was our Bible Study Christmas get together sharing time and conversation and prayers. This little group has been gathering together for at least four years, possibly longer. We’ve lost a few and added a few but we are still studying Emmanuel and searching to…

    Ask, Seek, & Knock  In my mind,I have been pondering the world’s mindset of Advent, the Season of Christmas.

    Blessings In my mind today I think of the many blessings I’m given. God shows up through the people in my life daily. Sal the Feeble Gal realizes no man or woman is an island. Remember your first car? I certainly do. I remember working in a restaurant the summer before my junior year. I…

    Happy New Year! In my mind today I’m thinking of all of the blessings of 2017 and how things have changed from my childhood. Remember as a child how the 2000’s seemed otherworldly? They seemed so distant as we envisioned a world like The Jetsons. We’ve yet to have flying cars, but we have rumbas,…

    Death In my mind today, I’m thinking of death. On the Catholic calendar, the day after Christmas is a day of remembrance for the first Christian martyr, Saint Stephen. As I read I was thinking, why would this be placed in such a celebratory time of year? Death. It does come for each of us.…

    Small things for a Big God   In my mind today, I’m realizing Christmas is quickly approaching. Yesterday was to be my first day of infusions, but my veins blew. It’s okay and this happens. Friday I should be getting a port inserted. This will be used for my “new normal” of infusions. Every setback…

    Faith, Hope, Love, & Radicava   In my mind today, I’m thinking of rejoicing. This is the third week of advent. We are called to rejoice remembering our savior entered the world. Behold! Emmanuel is here within each of us. He is. Ironically, I’m also rejoicing because with faith, hope, and love God has granted…

    Creating Your Bedford Falls In my mind today, I’m thinking of my favorite Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. This is saying something because boy, I have so many favorite Christmas movies from classics to modern. The movie was originally a flop but over time it became a blockbuster. There are so many lessons in…

    ”Tis the Season In my mind today, I’m reflecting on the blessings in my life. When your blessings are so, so numerous that you have a hard time listing them then you are living right. When you are able to see them instead of your woes, you are truly fortunate. Your assignment students is to…
