I went to a Christian concert on Sunday night, it was in a church so it felt more like a church service than a concert in many ways, we prayed, we sang, and we prayed some more. The singer was talking about how Bible verses that we hear in different times of life hit us… Continue reading Lord, bless the mess!

Do you ever feel like there are so many moving parts in your life that it’s overwhelming? I feel that way, in this moment. There are things I have control over and some I do not- that’s normal, but I am not a fan of lots of unknowns. Moving parts and changing circumstances bring the… Continue reading Change happens in a moment…what will you do?

I believe in angels. I know they are real, in human and in divine form, but the sighting is not always clear, until it is. This week, I received a message of reassurance and comfort, I will tell you about it and perhaps you will see a message that I do not….yet.

It had to have been cold that day in the Pyrenees mountains and Bernadette “heard something in the wind” that made her want to cross the river to the grotto, where Mary… Continue reading St. Bernadette, she’s one of my fave’s

There are moments in our lives that can only be described as holy. Sometimes I hear people calling them “God moments” I have no other words to describe them. It’s the moment that is so divinely perfect, that a human could not have possibly arranged. Some are as simple as people letting me in on… Continue reading Holy (or God) moments

In every church at some point in the year, the “the money talk” happens. This week, one the annual talks happened at my church. I was listening to the talk about how important it is to tithe, etc. The pastor wasn’t asking anyone to give a certain amount, he was asking people to give to… Continue reading Are you a cheerful giver?
