Today is a day for Mary. Something that not every Christian agrees on but one that I think makes perfect sense. A day set aside to honor the person that God chose to be immaculate and to be the perfect vessel for the Incarnation. Whatever the story that Mary’s life takes after this is really…
Yesterday’s reading was about the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. John is one of the my favorite Biblical characters because he has a courage that I don’t. He has a conviction and a craziness to spread the message in a way that I just can’t access. Locusts and honey are not on my menu…well,…
This is a great little video that summerizes what Advent should be to us! My favorite line, “If you are sick of Christmas by December 25th than you haven’t done Advent right!”

We are blessed with so many people to help us along on our spiritual journey, Richard Rohr is a shining star in the complex world of spirituality. I hope you enjoy this interview…he has a way of being so sensible yet challenging and he makes me think again of my own transformation. Reminded that we are…
So last night I had the pleasure of hearing Rob Bell speak in person. I also had a short convo with him hoping to relay how much I appreciate his ministry. Not entirely sure I was able to articulate that in my sudden nervousness (OH MY GOSH! THIS IS REALLY ROB BELL???). But I wanted to make…
Today is Veterans Day, a day that we remember those who have served and are serving in our military forces. My father, brother, husband, father in law, uncle, brother in law and several friends rank among those people who dedicated a period of time in service to our country. Some saw action, others didn’t. The…
