Week 351

Positive post Sunday, November 19, 2023- Week 351. The last 4 weeks have been very challenging as I continue to recover from an injury.

Week 347

Positive post Sunday, October 22, 2023- Week 347.  This week, I continued to reflect on how God speaks to me in my everyday life.  One of my favorite Responsorial Psalms, which I have heard sung at church many times over the years, is “If Today You Hear God’s Voice, Harden Not Your Heart”.  According to…

Week 346

Positive post Sunday, October 15, 2023- Week 346.  An open letter to my family.  As you know, the Triangle of Life (Faith, Family and Fitness) is the foundation on which I live my life.  When it comes to    Fitness, it’s no secret that my primary exercise is cycling, or as you call it “Cardio”. …

Positive post Sunday, October 8, 2023- Week 345.  Watching Toby Keith sing his song, “Don’t Let the Old Man In” after he was honored with the inaugural Country Icon Award at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Music awards inspired me to write about how important music is in my life.  Here’s the link to this…

Week 344
