Lately, the passage of “Two Masters” (Matthew 6:24) has haunted me. One of the reasons I originally left facebook was that it felt like a master because of the time spent giving attention to it. Even if I wasn’t on it, some story or response would say with me for better or worse. I think I have broken that…
Most of the people who know me, know that I take at least one weekend a year and spend it with “my” monks. Several have died over the 27 years that I have been going and their vocations have gone the way of many other vocations. Our family, and the people I go there with…
A friend of mine recently told me, “you are all over the place on your blog!” Well, I guess that is true. So I am looking to rename it so that it incorporates all the interests that I have that connect and help me experience my faith and my God. This, hopefully will not drive…

So for the past couple of weeks I have been having some issues with my Facebook account. First there were a couple of bugs and then someone got into my email.

How do we thank a man who has brought such richness to our own spiritual experiences? A man who by changing himself ultimately changed the world? Well, to start we make a fun but pertinent video about him. Here is one called “The Olive”. My kids love it, but really so do I! Enjoy and…
That is the question of the day. I do, I have been privy to them…I have been part of them. I am grateful to have the imagination to see the amazement in peoples eyes when Jesus presents them with the loaves and fish. Today I will be thankful for the ability to be open to the…
In light of today’s events in Colorado http://www.nbcnews.com/, I am sharing a song posted by a Facebook friend. Sting’s “Fragile” really does sum up how I have felt all day. But I know that somewhere in the midst of all of this uncertainty and utter madness lies the string that holds us all together. Let…
I dedicate this to our very own Sr. Joan who we said goodbye to today. My daughter was in her class this year for seventh grade religion and learned so much and adored her. I am sorry to see her go. She ran the food pantry, the Vacation Bible School program and several other outreach…
