I have never been one to try to “protect” myself in anyway, but especially not from emotional hurt or disappointment. But I have been selfish lately and that is going to change! As I was getting ready to go to my volunteer job, I completely broke down, this time, more deeply than before. The last... Continue Reading →
April Fool’s – the Joke is on satan
Today is April Fool's Day. I have never really liked this day, but reading my memories and other posts about momentous, life changing events that occurred on this day throughout the years - and the results of what ensued, I have a new appreciation for it. Why? Because it appears that God often uses this... Continue Reading →
Forming a “Catholic Conscience” and those who are putting up roadblocks.
There are many things I need to be working on right now, but I just saw a post that has caused me to drop everything and write my thoughts! In Catholicism, a formed conscience is one that is built upon through learning and experience, whereas an informed conscience is one that is researched and thought out through logic and reason....

No One is Greater Than the Other
I told someone yesterday that I was going to stop writing because no one is reading, much less reacting, to my blogs or posts on Facebook that are not just memes (except for a couple of my faithful friends). So what is the point? I have been reverting back to my self-doubt lately. I realized... Continue Reading →
True Forgiveness and Love
Everyone who enters your life is there because God allows them to be. Love them, forgive them, cherish them as the gift from God, they truly are!
A Call to be Catholic in Action
There was a standing joke at FedEx for a long time that PSP no longer meant People, Service, Profit but rather Profit, Service, People. From what I am seeing these days, especially in my Diocese, is that we have taken Jesus’ words and reversed them too, but it is no joke. Jesus told us we... Continue Reading →
Perception-Prejudice-Attitude
I recently received a text that I thought I understood (mostly), but, even at the time, I subconsciously knew that that understanding was lacking. This morning a new understanding was laid on my heart. I knew this was the real meaning behind the words sent. At first, it hurt. It hurt because it was a... Continue Reading →
Communication – A loss of respect
It has been said that communication has become a lost art. But this phrase, I believe, refers to how we communicate, not what we communicate or lack thereof. The lack of communication, IMHO, goes hand and hand with the lack of respect for others that has been on the increase for many years now. So... Continue Reading →
Drive Thru Communion
The Lesson: Do not react until you bring it to God! When "Drive Thru Communion" was instituted at the Parish, I was astonished, dismayed, and utterly appalled. That was then. This is now! THEN: All I could think of was "how irreverent, disrespectful, and dangerous for Jesus". I could not imagine how this could work.... Continue Reading →
Pray for me this Sunday Please
I debated sharing this, but I just need to get this out. I was so looking forward to Sunday. I was born on a Sunday and so every time my birthday falls on that day of the week, I feel it is an extra blessed day. This year was supposed to be extra special and... Continue Reading →
