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. I thought I’d have some fun with this Christmas Eve PPS. Lighten it up a bit. One of my favorite holiday traditions is listening to Christmas music, especially songs that…

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.

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 350

Positive post Sunday, November 12, 2023- Week 350. Michele and I just returned from visiting 2 of our girls and their families in Eagle, Idaho once again this past week. Words can’t express how proud we are of all of them, but as the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, or, “a…

Week 349

Positive post Sunday, November 5, 2023- Week 349.  You have likely heard the saying from the 80’s, “He who dies with the most toys wins”.  As I have continued to deepen my relationship with our Lord over the years, it has become abundantly clear that toys and material things are merely distractions as we prepare…

Week 348

Positive post Sunday, October 29, 2023- Week 348.  A lesson in patience from a patient.  God gave me many gifts but, as my family will attest, patience was not one of those gifts.  Last week, I learned firsthand that patience can be a virtue. Monday morning, as I have done many times, I arrived early…

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…
