  • 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. 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…

  • 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.…

  • Gethsemane Days

    In my mind, I am still enjoying Easter. Students, it is the fourth week of Easter and life here in Tennessee is bursting with rebirth. It is also rising from the earth. Have you discovered all of the trees bursting with colorful blooms? Last week we read St. Stephen in Acts of the Apostles 6:…

  • The Human Highway

     In my mind today, I am thinking about the human highway. It is true that we are all on our journey.  Students, have you paid much attention to the conditions of the human highway lately? There are lots of roadblocks and warning signs. Frankly speaking, I see a lot of lost traffic. Why are we…

  • Nuggets

    In my mind today, I have been feeding my brain with literature. I am studying again! Don’t moan back row, students. Be joyful that I am looking for God. It has been a while since I have had the strength to read and focus. What threw me out of my stagnating reverie was YouTube. Yes,…

  • Jars of Clay

    In my mind today, I am so full of the HS (Alley speak for Holy Spirit.) I have been granted more time to be with you. I recently spent nine days in the hospital. Four of those days were in ICU. I spent the last of Lent and part of Holy week in the hospital.…

  • Thanksgiving 2020

    In my mind today, I have had such strong emotions this November. Novembers are always hard for us since our son left the Earth. It was 10 years this year. So so many have left us. It is our job to continue on and to spread love and unselfish acts. We have been isolated because…

  • Are we burning down the House?

    Students, I really don’t know where to begin. I have had such turmoil the past week that it was hard to focus on anything. Do you have weeks like that? I’m sure you do. Sometimes we call it getting on the pity pot. Life has just been happening at such a breakneck speed lately that…

  • Diablo

    Diablo   In my mind today, I’m thinking of Beelzebub. I scroll through my news feed and I see tragedy and division. I read posts from people who think the idea of Lucifer is a fable conjured by humans. As I look around each day the evidence keeps piling up that there is indeed something…
