Feeling Fit for a Life With God October 4, 2023
“Jesus answered him, ‘No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God’” (Luke 9:62). Today we celebrate the Memorial of St. Francis. From the beginning of his ministry, Francis took Jesus’s words in today’s reading to heart. Jesus said, “the Son […]
Walking My Way September 27, 2023
“Now shall I walkOr shall I ride?”“Ride,” Pleasure said.“Walk,” Joy replied. – W.H. Davies This is a question I now ask myself daily. Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so the need to actually get groceries or visit a friend or go to church is accompanied by the need to drive. Yet […]

A Future of Hope May 6, 2023
I can hardly believe I’m writing these words, but today, my baby graduates from college. Morgan was a force from birth. She entered our lives on a chilly April day just before Easter 2001. With a headful of hair and a loud cry, she made her presence known. Never one to back down or bow […]
Jesus Wept March 29, 2023
This past Sunday, Catholics around the world heard the story of the Raising of Lazarus proclaimed by their priests or deacons. It’s a wonderful story, and there’s so much commentary out there that it’s easy to get lost in all the different explanations about what’s happening in the story. Besides my own priest’s homily, I […]
In Through One Gate, Out Through Another March 15, 2023
Walking in Imitation It was a warmer than typical day as we entered the gate. We meandered through the busy city, carefully trodding on uneven stones, snaking our way to the start of our journey. Our walk was slow and somber as we carried our heavy load while wiping our tears. We encountered dozens, perhaps […]
Questions and Answers January 25, 2023
“It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” – James Thurber Isn’t that a great quote? As a reader and a writer, I understand the need to have questions answered. So Many Questions, so Few Answers! We all begin reading a book with many questions. What is this about? […]
Be Prepared – A Reminder November 30, 2022
Much of the following blog was written in 2020, but it could have been written this week. The message resonates now with just as much meaning as back then. It was an ordinary Monday in an extraordinary year when a tree beside our house was struck by lightning. It was scary. The entire house shook […]
With Every Goodbye, You Learn – Reprise November 9, 2022
On a cold day in 2018, my daughter asked me if she could write my blog that week. When she told me her idea about temporary people and why she wanted to write it, I was amazed by her insight, wisdom, and faith. I was even more amazed when I read her words. Many times […]
