Are you wondering if God has forgotten about you? He hasn't. Not ever.
If God were to send you a message, I think He’d write something like the words in this note.
Watch for JOY
Sometimes I just make life too hard. And making it too hard steals my joy. Not a good thing. It’s so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness, crazy-ness. and messy-ness that’s part of living in the real world. Can you relate to this? That’s when I need to remember that Jesus came to give us life – a full life, a rich life, a joy-filled life! (John 10:10) So today… Let’s look for joy. A giggle… A smile… A warm word… A thank you… A memory from
A Prayer for the New Year
I love January 1st. Everything about it says new beginnings…dreams to be fulfilled…aspirations to be realized…love to be shared. I found the devotional below on a website called Appleseeds. It’s my prayer as we enter 2011. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. “A Morning Wish” by W.R. Hunt. “The sun is just rising on the morning of another day, the first day of the new year. What can I wish that this day, that this year, may bring to me? Nothing that shall make the
“What if I had Given Everything instead of Going Through the Motions?”
“What if I had given everything instead of going through the motions?” (Matthew West). What if there is more to life than the rut? More surprises. More risks. More big deep breaths that remind us that life can be big and God is even bigger.
Psalm 23: God is my Shepherd, so Nothing Shall I Want
Today I celebrated the life and legacy of my friend Ann’s mom. Angeline Yelich was loved very much. Her husband, children, and grandchildren shared stories, laughter, and many tears as they reflected on who she was. During the Funeral Mass we sang the 23rd Psalm. The words were a little different from the versions I’m used to, and they were just perfect for the day. Perhaps you are weary, sad, or feeling lost. May these words bring you comfort. God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I
Living with Purpose (And Getting Healthier): Learn from Those who Live It
Spending any time in the kitchen is not usually a good time for me. But in my commitment to getting healthier, I spent an hour this morning cutting up fruits and veggies. (I count this as “cooking.” Steve says it really isn’t because no water was boiled and the oven wasn’t on.) I can read, and have read, a lot of books and blogs on getting fit and staying healthy. I love buying cookbooks – just don’t know what to do with them. I love listening to CDs,
Our Hearts Keep no Secrets (Part 2)
We’ve been talking about the importance of a healthy heart…physically and spiritually… Titles frequently describe where we fit in society, on the org chart, or how valuable someone else thinks we are. (Sad, but true.) How about this one: “King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.” Pretty impressive, uh? And yet, with all this wisdom, Solomon still made some pretty big mistakes. Including his belief that he was above the law. Solomon ignored the memo God sent him. “And
Our Hearts Keep no Secrets (Part 1)
Our hearts keep no secrets. Symptoms tell us if our heart is healthy — physically and spiritually. My mom’s heart procedures were a great reminder of the importance of taking care of this life-giving organ.
Where is God when it Hurts?
Where is God when your heart is breaking? When you’ve been unemployed for 14 months and despair is setting in? When illness has taken over your body and there is no cure? He’s right there. Sitting next to you. Holding your hand. Feeling your pain. God doesn’t leave us when times are tough. Our pain and sadness don’t chase Him away. Nor do they imply that He has left us. Joshua 1:9 “…Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord

From Fear to Faith
It is unfortunate, but true. Fear is a traveling companion for many of us. But God has promised to take us out of our fear and move to faith. He says, “Do not be afraid.” It is up to us to believe it.
