I just opened a piece of Dove dark chocolate. I am generally amused by the little messages. Like “Happiness looks great on you” or “Your smile lights up a room” but sometimes, the messages make me think that Dove (ironically which image represents the Holy Spirit) talks to me personally. Yes, I hear you, one…
Today’s quote is from my pastor, who was talking to the children about Pope Francis. “He hasn’t changed one rule. Not one rule. What he has done is changed the emphasis on love.” My pastor, like myself and so many people that I know love this man because he is emphasizing love. We are in such…

Yellow jackets in my walls. Right next to my desk. What is God telling me?? (Besides, get an exterminator)
A dear friend invited a group of us to volunteer in having conversations with area women (refugees) who are learning English as a Second Language (in fact for many it is 3rd, 4th or 5th!). Last night was my night to join them and what a gift it was. The calendar is getting very full…
