Reflection from one year ago: I have a good friend that is a devout Catholic.  He was very close to his mother who passed away last year.  In his childhood, it was her that nurtured his strong and unwavering faith.  I was bewildered to the amount as it was certainly more than any man I had ever met … Continue reading "…Ageless Love of God"

Reflection from one year ago: Today, I attended a professional training class at a local college.  As I was walking among the co-eds who were half my age, I wondered about that time long ago when I had wanted to live at a campus.   Through events that changed that course, I considered in this brief … Continue reading "…If Today You Hear His Voice"

Reflection from one year ago: It seems so breathtakingly easy for Jesus to show love that encompasses compassion, empathy, charity, and sacrifice. The agape love that is unique within a relationship between man and God.  This relationship can be individual but also encompass all of humanity, all at the same time. So in our own … Continue reading "…Unmerited Love"

Reflection from one year ago: My high school yearbook caption for dreams and goals reads: “To be successful in all aspects of life” At that young moment, I hadn’t realized the impact that faith would have in meeting that dream in all its glory. Life can offer numerous opportunities. Of those, some will be taken, some will be … Continue reading "…Faith As Art"

Reflection from a year ago: I thought I was in a professional place that was a true calling. However, my expectations and the reality clashed like hot and cold air.  After awhile, I began to see and hear things that weren’t wonderful. My heart and soul began to sink and my expectations were dropping like … Continue reading "…Called For His Purpose"

Reflection from one year ago: “The supposedly “spiritual” person is often blind to what the simple see plainly. Like the majority of people in the world, Balaam, a professing religious person, could not see God at work, not even when He was personally opposing him! Yet, the dumb donkey, a lowly beast of burden,saw God at work … Continue reading "…Spiritual Blindness"

Reflection from one year ago: Today I was thinking about the population of the world that is poor and suffers social inequality.  I understand why it occurs.  History has proven the underlying issues of humanity’s quest with ego driven behaviors such as power, racism, bigotry, to name a few, which does not allow all people … Continue reading "…Lend to the Lord"

Reflection from one year ago: What do you do when, as quoted from a 1970’s Saturday morning cartoon commercial break,  “your get up and go, has gone up and went?”  The cartoon figure exclaimed  “…hanker for a hunk of cheese!”  Well, snacks are great and with the right choice, healthy, but what if you recognize … Continue reading "…Just Be Still"

Reflection from a year ago: I was thinking about people. We come in so many varieties like flowers, foods, animals, and languages to name just a few. Our thoughts, ideas, values, morals, and ethics all so seemingly variant.  But what we do have in common is the love of God and the dignity he bestows upon each of us.  We are masterpieces … Continue reading "…We The People"

Reflection from one year ago: Yesterday while driving to an appointment, I was on a road that I have traveled for 50 yrs.  The early years were mainly with my Catholic, Italian, great grandmother. Her name was Philomena, Minnie to her friends, and Noni to us.  She used to work for a family in a … Continue reading "…A Memory Worth a Treasure"
