Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
As a reader and writer, I love the power of strong, commanding words. Several weeks ago my priest read from John 14: “I have told you this while I am with you. The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.... Continue Reading →
Sometimes you just have to laugh at the world ... and yourself. Where am I going with this? It hit me the other day that the number of things that I don’t get or understand any more are starting to outnumber the things I do. I think I could be turning into a mean, old... Continue Reading →
I was "depressed." I couldn’t seem to break the downward swing I seemed to be on.

You drop your pride and joy off at college. You pull into your daughter’s new dorm full of nerves and excitement. You’re not sure what to feel, but you don’t have time to focus. The squad of resident assistants and greeters is on top of you in minutes to help unload your SUV brimming with... Continue Reading →
Sometimes the simplest questions pose the biggest challenges. I had to fill out a registration form recently for an upcoming 5k race. The form asked the usual questions: name, address and age on the day of the race. Simple enough, but I still had to think for a second. Did the race organizers want me... Continue Reading →
The world’s leading doctors and scientists lied to us, blatant, exaggerated lies. First they told us that a glass of wine a day was good for us, then they said it was bad for us and then back again. You’re not sure what to believe. Case in point: doctors have long told us that adults... Continue Reading →
