Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.
Pride
“When pride comes, disgrace comes;but with the humble is wisdom” Proverbs 11:2Sometimes we all get caught up in pride. Sometimes we have no idea that it is the root of our behavior. But as I was listening to an interview about about the group of Christians who wanted to rescue the Haitian children by putting…
Psalm 123
“To you I raise my eyes,to you enthroned in heaven.Yes, like the eyes of a servant on the hand of his master,Like the eyes of a maidon the hand of her mistress,So our eyes are on the Lord our God,till we are shown favor.Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,for we have our fill of…
Look up!!
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, your life appears, then you too will appear…
Holy Things Club
“Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matt 19: 13-14Tonight my youngest held her first meeting of her…

Blessed Are the Peacemakers
“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God” Matthew 5:9I heard a bittersweet story about a man who was a Peacekeeper for the UN, 44 years old, husband and father of three, who died when the UN building collapsed in Haiti during the initial earthquake. Living by conviction, and dying by…
The Lord Hears The Cry of the Poor
“Answer when I call, my saving God,In my trouble you cleared a way;Show me favor, hear my prayer.” Psalm 4:2Despite their obvious destitution, the people of Haiti continue to call on God. What faith! They genuinely believe that their God will help them, and what is more, they are right.I heard a statistic the other…
Wolves in Sheeps clothing
“Thus says the Lord of host: This people says: “Not now has the time come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” (Then the word came to Haggai, the prophet:) IS it time for you to dwell in your own panelled house while this house lies in ruins? Now thus says the Lord of hosts:Consider…
Haiti
“Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute and many others. They placed him at his feet and he cured them.” Matthew 15:30My heart is weighted down with the visions of Haiti today. How can these things happen? I look to God for answers. The answers I…
