I had spent years praying, attending Mass, reading Scripture, and trying to live a faithful life, but my prayers often…
Positive Post Sunday, September 13, 2026…. Week 498. Repent and RestoreFrom an early age, I understood that I was free to make my own decisions and that every choice carried consequences.

Positive Post Sunday, September 6, 2026…. Week 497. Choose Your BattlesThere are moments in our lives when something rises up in us, a sense of injustice, a wound, a frustration, and we feel ready to step into battle.

Positive Post Sunday, August 30, 2026…. Week 496.
