Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!!  So much has been going on for months.  It is a constant and I’m looking forward to spending the holidays with family and friends at a slower pace.

I made a decision to have the Christmas spirit and not stress over anything.  So far, it’s working!!!  The difference this year from last is less “stuff” and more “family”!  We are having a huge family party with all of my siblings and families.  First time we are all together in a while.  We always wonder why after we visit, love and laugh!!!  

We are having a feast, white elephant fun and a GAME!  My family loves a good game!!!  My Mom will be in her wonderful glory to see us all be together and to cuddle the grandchildren.  

Our children will love being with their Grandma, Aunts and Uncles and cousins.  All to celebrate the birth of our Savior.  We anticipate the Holy Mass and celebrating this feast.  The birth of Our Lord!  The beauty at St. Peter’s is breathtaking.  So from our family to yours MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR!

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...

Your Life Will Unravel

If you choose to put God in a neat little box, then put the box on a shelf in the closet, only getting it out every once in a while.  Maybe a Sunday, maybe not.  Your life will start to unravel.   At first, you give every excuse not to go to Church.  You had to work, you were too tired, you had a hangnail.  Your life will unravel. Then you blame your past.  Too much guilt, no one understands my pain, I am an adult and make these decisions on when I need God.  Your life will unravel. Next, your life isn't turning out how you planned.  You were going to have success in business, a great marriage and perfect children...it didn't go that way...it's Gods fault.  Your life will unravel. You one day turn around and compare yourself and measure yourself against those close to you.  Why are they happy?  Why is it that when awful things happen to others, they seem to handle it and even laugh through their tears?  Why is it they are happy...

Are you a Hypocrite? Are you?

Time and again I am reading or hearing conversations about how things work.  Who is good and who is bad.  Who should be included and who should be shunned.  Do you think I have EVER been part of this or have judged as such?  Of course, we all have at some point. Then it happened, my eyes were opened.  There were some people, that were by far, the most judgmental, inclusive, egotistical bunch of hypocrites ever to be encountered.  Yes, naive was I.  Blind had I been.  Delusional? Certainly.  Shocked is an understatement. What was the most shocking was the cruelty and rudeness.  The very ones pointing and accusing others of horrendous acts, were themselves the biggest culprits.  The very ones that were going to judge and disperse unkindnesses, were the ones looked up to.  Humility was a word said over and over, but with nothing whatsoever to show for it.  The amount of self absorbed, know it alls were bursting at the sea...
