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 […]
Friends In Real Life October 12, 2022
If there’s anything I cherish as much as I love and cherish spending time with my family, it’s spending time with friends. I think it’s something that people today don’t appreciate enough. When one can brag about having close to 1000 friends on Facebook, and the number of followers on Instagram is more important to […]
Christmas in Buffalo Springs October 5, 2022
A few years ago, I was toying with the idea of writing a book about a former female Navy SEAL. I didn’t know her name or her story, but bits and pieces were beginning to come to me. I couldn’t find any direction and didn’t feel like the character was talking to me as I […]
The Love of a Husband September 28, 2022
When I had my first child, my mother and grandmother stayed at the house to help me. I don’t know what I would have done without them. My husband couldn’t get off from work, and I would have been on my own. Here we are, twenty-six years later, and I’ve taken up the mantle and […]
Ready to be a Grandmother. Or am I? September 21, 2022
Any day now, possibly by the time this goes to print, I will be a grandmother. For the past nine months, I have marveled at how I could be a grandmother already. It seems too soon. I’m excited, but I don’t feel ready. I don’t have enough life experience yet. I’m still busy screwing up […]
