After the Ball

I wonder what she's thinking... Not many good shots from this year's dance recital. The lighting is difficult, to say the least. But, I do like this one.

OLLI: Writing our lives

The is the 3rd or 4th time round that I have taken part in the "Writing Our Lives" class offer through our local OLLI@Auburn organization (Osher Lifelong Learners Institute at Auburn). I'm just a beginner! The class is filled with people who have been there for many...

Undeliverable Gifts: Christmas 2003

Tomorrow's the night before Christmas three dogs in my house two cats are in hiding I hope there's no mouse... That's the easy part of Christmas. My food box/Christmas gifts delivery for Lazarus Ministries hasn't turned out to be as simple as hoped. I've made 2 trips...

Falsely Accused?

Earlier this week, I had the unforntunate experience of a visit from the local Animal Cruelty Investigator. In the aftermath, I cried - sobbed, harder than I have in since we lost our schnauzer last year. Before that - God alone knows when I've cried my eyes out like...

How’s that diet going, anyway?

So - does anybody read this stuff anyway? I'm still sticking pretty close to the Atkins eating and I'm down 30 lbs since I started. I still feel really much better than I did before I started on this way of life and I've noticed that I no longer seem to have the...

HOW MANY CHRISTIANS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?

HOW MANY CHRISTIANS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?

This came across in my email (again), so I thought I'd post it so I can keep it handy.... It's just too much fun to read. And, having been an active member of at least 3 of categories mentioned, I can laugh all the harder. HOW MANY CHRISTIANS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A...

Blessed

I was allowing myself to wallow a bit - my oldest son, now 24 and in grad school broke his nose in water polo practice Thursday night. No health insurance - and I was a bit worried. And, I had a couple of bad stress days this week. But - I am so blessed! I am not...

Still trying the Atkins Way

OK - I'm not really evangelizing about Atkins, but, so far I've dropped about 25 lbs.... I'm down to the smallest clothes in the closet. Granted, I used to have smaller ones before the house burned and I got to start all over on my wardrobe. There have been a few...

Braves 10, DiamondBacks 6

Braves 10, DiamondBacks 6

My second major league baseball game! Both have been trips to see the Braves in Atlanta - a beautiful ballpark. We were running late due to the service at Famous Dave's Barbeque being a bit slower than we would have liked - and the parking lot on I-75/85 getting down...

Hope for the Church?

Today John Freund sent me a link that was a bright spot: LeavenDenver.org. Reading thru the site - especially the "Your Pulpit" section gave me a strong sense that the Holy Spirit is indeed renewing the face of the earth. I was very moved by the woman's homily based...

Year of Mercy

Looking for something in particular?

Journey to myself

  • Luke 17:11-19 offers us the story where 10 lepers ask Jesus for help. All 10 are cured of leprosy as they were headed out to follow his instruction to present themselves to the priests. Only one, a Samaritan (foreigner, not a chosen person) turns back to say “Thank you.” Jesus tells this one that his […]
  • This Sunday the Catholic Church (at least in the US) celebrates the feast of Christ the King. Interesting how the readings for mass focus on shepherds and sheep and goats. Even the Psalm is Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd.) If you want to read them yourself, look here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112623.cfm The Gospel is Mt […]
  • What about this Sunday’s Gospel hit me? For reference, read below. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20.
