  • To The Least

    In my mind today I am thinking about our local nonprofit, Matthew 25 : 40. This past Saturday night it was selected as nonprofit of the year. At the last board meeting, we were thrilled for the nomination. Of course, we were not expecting to win. The last decade M2540 and volunteers fought with blood,…

  • Easter

    Easter  In my mind today, I am grateful for another spring. It brings so much beauty. I try to enjoy all of the rebirth. New nests being built by my window, perennial flowers peeking up through the ground, and buds on trees bursting to attract the bees. It is such a celebration of life. I…

  • Regrets

    In my mind, I have been thinking about regrets. We all have them. I regret that I didn’t work hard in school. I regret that I wasted time on silly, meaningless activities instead of building my character. I regret wasting time and energy being negative because owning my problems seems too hard. Face it. We…

  • Treasure Chest

    In my mind I have a to-do list that is longer than Santa’s: thank yous, budgets to balance, insurance to buy, and more to-do lists to make. Last Thursday, I felt its weight. I had to do something to feel again. I had to self talk myself to get up, stay awake, listen, participate, and…

  • Running on Empty

    Running on Empty In my mind today I am thinking about running. I’m in my writing spot watching my youngest son leave to run with friends. I remember all of those years in basketball and playing sports from the 3rd grade on up running. In college I promised myself I would never run again when…

  • 8/25/90

    In my mind, I’ve been lost lately. Losing my soul mate has riveted me to my mortal coil. My spirit wants to fly free from this body and desperately be where his spirit has flown. Everything,  EVERYTHING, reminds me of him. I know God has more for me to do so I stuff my grief…

  • Pentecost is coming!

    What is the world of Sal the ALS Gal? Well lately I have been so, so busy. There is always work to do. We Catholics Christians are still celebrating Easter! This was our sixth Sunday of Easter celebrations. We are waiting for the Ascension of Jesus celebration and of course Pentecost. Pentecost is the end…

  • Winnowing Words and Thoughts

    Winnowing your words and thoughts  In my mind today I am winnowing my words and thoughts.  I know back row; what in the world is winnowing?  I am simply separating and selecting. Students, we each have a finite time to do good.  It is very important to keep your soul and mind on what is…

  • Mats

    “Do you want to be well?”  In my mind today I am thinking about my daily readings from yesterday. There was a man who had been crippled for 38 years. He is just lying there waiting for someone to help him get into the waters. 38 years. When Jesus asked the man if he wanted…

  • Circles

    Circles In my mind today I am thinking about circles. This is the third week of Lent. This week examine your circles. In my readings today, Jesus expanded His Circles. My Circles change all the time. I have my nuclear family circle. My church family and friends circle which continues to grow. My student circle…
