A Voice

Now I will receive some ribbing from my partner for this blog, but that’s ok, I’ll take it. Over the weekend we held our 6th grade retreat “Becoming: Active” and the overall lesson was we must take ownership of our faith, make it ours and be active in it. Just showing up at Church or …

Deep Thinking

Take a moment and think about the last big decision you had to make, was it an on the spot decision, or did you take your time thinking about it? Most of the time if it is a big decision we want to take a little bit of time, to look at the positives and …

Christmas and Faith

Christmas in June… Well all year long for me. As I sit here writing this blog, I have my headphones on listening to Christmas music, all my family and friends think I am nuts, and I may be, but not for this. I love to hear the happy and uplifting music of Christmas, be it …

Great Moments

We all have moments of greatness, moments where we shine, and show the true light of God. We all have them, some moments are truly the work of the Holy Spirit, and other moments we plan hard for, but they are moments all the same.   The Holy Spirit, in my opinion, likes to use …

Intellect vs. God

When does our own intellect get in the way of God? This question will not be answered in this blog, but rather, I will use this space to place the question out there, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide my fingers of the keys.   Intellect is a gift from God, one given to …

God has plans

We all can use a little good news every now and then, I know my sister, and a good friend and I sure could. We are in the process of closing down our retail store. We opened up a Catholic Gift shop in a little town called Plymouth.   The shop was cute and offered …

Edging God Out

EGO… It’s a word we hear a lot about, we all have one, some are larger then others, but in someway we all have one.   The ego serves only one purpose, and that is to make you feel better about whom you are. That in-of-it self is not a bad thing, but the ego …

Confirmation…

This Sunday the Confirmation class from our youth group will be making their Confirmation. I have two overriding thoughts or feelings about this.   First off, I am very excited for these young people, they are about to receive the fullness of the Church, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. All very exciting, I …

Did God go to Far?

Can we ever really know God? Or even Jesus? And what about that Holy Spirit….   We are called to know God as the Father, as a loving and yes sometimes, vengeful God. We are called to know Him as the creator of all the heavens and earth and of all living things.   Can …
