My Aunt Karen sent me a beautiful email this week and said it was OK if I shared it with all of you; but first, some back-story…
The Desires of Your Heart
Advent Ideas — No Guilt Allowed
For many years I’d find all sorts of neat ideas for helping the kids learn more about this time of preparation and feel guilty that I never quite made any of them happen. Nowadays, though, I’ve found what works for us: keeping it simple. No more grand plans, just a couple neat traditions and no more guilt.
C.S. Lewis on Prayer Struggles – Guess What: You’re Normal
Just like most people, I often struggle with my prayer life. It just seems like this should come more natural. After all, He’s GOD. Shouldn’t I want to just sit with Him more and more instead of worrying so much about my long to-do lists?
Hope is a powerful thing
A couple weeks ago the Sunday Gospel reading at Mass really grabbed me. I’m going to copy it here, but if you’re like I was before I got into my faith more, scripture quotes might freak you out because you’re not sure you “get it” and it all still seems so foreign. Just stick with […]
Did you know this was in the Bible?
It occurred to me this morning as I was reading the daily Mass readings (which I get on my iPhone!), that many of you may have been raised how I was, meaning you didn’t read the bible at all growing up, and maybe you still don’t. You may not even have a desire to yet. […]
Plugged In Online – A Great Resource
A few years ago Kal wanted to play “Grand Theft Auto” at a friend’s house. He wasn’t happy when I pulled up this site that quickly convinced me NOT to let him play. I found out that a few levels into it are some really terrible ways to earn extra points…
No Arms No Legs No Worries!
This is another one of those stories that make me feel really small for complaining about any day to day concerns… Yet God cares about it all. If you haven’t seen this, you’ll be amazed.
FREE Summer Fun
Sometimes Kent & I will talk about what we think is the coolest part of God’s creation. People or nature? What would you say? What’s really fun is when you can enjoy them both at the same time, and all for free!
A Father’s Day Story
Watch this beautiful music video and then watch the back-story on the song Lead Me by Sanctus Real. Enjoy, and happy Father’s Day men. 🙂
Faith is living *with* the questions: Grieving with Hope
The video below from August of 2008 isn’t something I’m sharing just to draw out your emotions, even though it definitely will. I’m posting it because there is a great message here about how our faith isn’t always free of the “whys” in life. I’ll be sharing more in future posts about my faith journey recently and some of my own struggles, but for now watch and hear how one family learned that faith is living with the questions we have, and that death doesn’t have to be the end. Instead we can grieve with hope.
