Try as I may the struggle with addictions is a constant battle. In my case the current and far to frequent addictions are to food and screens.

Honor or Worship? my thoughts and understandings …part 1
I am only going to touch on the surface of this topic for now and have in the past been very conflicted about the topic myself.

Another Day
Thoughts from a troubled soul…Challenged by life happenstances I strive to remain firm in my belief of God’s substantial providence. The state of the world lends to the strife and struggle in my life. Prices rising, increase in rent, clients having the same issues leads to a need for more clients and yet my goalsContinue reading “Another Day”
He is Risen, He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
To paraphrase the homily from Easter Mass, Love died on Good Friday, was silent on Holy Saturday, and returned to us on Easter Sunday when Christ rose from the dead. His sacrifice for our salvation was the most amazing gift ever given. He gave all, for all, and that gift is always there, but aContinue reading “He is Risen, He is risen indeed! Alleluia!”

How many times do things that feel so heavy, lead us eventually to an unexpected joy? The hardships and struggles I’ve had to face, pale so much in comparison to that ofContinue reading “Day 33~ Gratitude”
Day 32~ Purity
Good morning. The subject of purity is a touchy one these days. There is so much I could say having leaned in both directions at various times in my life, but the photo from America Needs Fatima says so much. I pray for our world and all those who have influence over children and youthContinue reading “Day 32~ Purity”
Day 31 ~ Waiting
A good day to you all. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go…keeping it brief today after 2 days away from blogging. In John 5- I relate to the man awaiting healing at the pool of Bethesda…I long to be healed in body mind and spirit. Jesus, when your will brings suchContinue reading “Day 31 ~ Waiting”
