Week 360

Positive post Sunday, January 21, 2024…. Week 360.  Over the holidays, my grandsons played baseball in our backyard, and being the creative and energetic boys they are, they decided to take all the “low hanging fruit” off my orange and lime trees to use as balls and to throw against our wall.  After I expressed…

Week 359

Positive post Sunday, January 14, 2024…. Week 359.  This week’s PPS is short and to the point.  Attached is the Nicene Creed, which we recite, with conviction and reflection, aloud every Sunday at Mass.  And, every Sunday at Mass, I also lean over and remind my grandson Christian that this Creed, which he can recite…

Week 358

Positive post Sunday, January 7, 2024- Week 358.  Now that we’ve survived the holidays, made all our New Year’s resolutions and possibly showed up for the annual visit to the gym, we can settle down and focus on 2024.  The Chinese New Year, which begins on February 10, 2024, is the year of the Wooden…

Week 357

Positive post Sunday, December 31, 2023- Week 357. I realize it’s not true, but it sure feels like the clock spins faster and the days get shorter the older you get. 2023 will come to a close this evening and it seems like it just started. I’ll spare you the long list of New Year’s…

Week 356

Positive post Sunday, December 24, 2023- Week 356. I love music, especially music with deep meaning. See Positive post Sunday, October 8, 2023…. Week 345.

Week 355

Positive post Sunday, December 17, 2023- Week 355. You have likely heard the saying, “Time doesn’t stop for anyone”, or “Time is of the essence”, or one of my favorites, a quote from Jim Rohn, “Time is more a value than money, you can get more money, but you cannot get more time”. There is…

Week 354

Positive post Sunday, December 10, 2023- Week 354. While writing a text earlier in the week, I was completing a sentence and it was autocorrected, changing “no” to “know”. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I was finishing my text, it occurred to me that perhaps this was not by chance…

Week 353

Positive post Sunday, December 3, 2023- Week 353. It’s amazing how frequently God communicates with us each day. All we have to do is listen and see with open hearts and souls. Here’s yet another example. Last week, I rode my NordicTrack with iFIT trainer Gideon (Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Interval Ride, Bermuda for my iFIT…

Week 352

Positive post Sunday, November 26, 2023- Week 352. A few weeks ago, Michele and I were blessed to complete a ministry training series at our Parish. The training was for all the volunteers who support our Masses each week (e.g., Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers, Greeters and Choir members). Our hall was overflowing, a testimony to…

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. No, not another bike accident, a very painful hamstring injury from a work softball tournament. I can ride my bike for 100 miles with relative ease, but I guess my days…
