We have all heard that history is doomed to repeat itself; but we usually apply this logic to the negative side of our experiences. When we remember the positive, we often try to replicate our successes and relive those wonderful moments. In many instances of life we call this being “creatures of habit” [...]
Almighty God, whose blessed apostles Peter and Paul glorified you by their martyrdom: grant that your Church, instructed by their teaching and example, and knit together in unity by your Spirit, may ever stand firm upon one foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one [...]
I’m not one to countdown the days, or look forward to something coming to its conclusion, mostly because counting down makes time slow to a crawl. I especially try not to countdown when I enjoy what I am doing, because I don’t want the focus to be on the end. I like to keep the [...]
So there I was, on my way out the door wondering what to do for lunch today. I didn’t feel like driving home and I sure wasn’t in the mood for fast food. It’s funny how God comes and interrupts even the most mundane aspects of one’s day and showers us with his gifts.

Yesterday a friend of mine asked me why I blog? Well the answer lies somewhere in between the writing on my blog and the reading of others. Not all of the blogs I read speak strictly about faith issues, but all have much to say about how people live their lives according to the gifts [...]
Eric tagged me to share with the blogging community five things that I dig about Jesus, and then to tag five others by leaving a link in their comments section. So without further delay, here are five things I dig about Jesus.
