Positive post Sunday, December 1, 2019- Week 146. I woke up this morning ready to proofread and share my Positive Post Sunday on the value of venturing outside your comfort zone and the good Lord guided me in a different direction. While checking my email before posting, the first message was from the Loyola Press…
Positive post Sunday, November 24, 2019- Week 145. At Mass on October 13th, Fr. Erik shared a very moving homily that reminded us of the importance of having an “Attitude of gratitude”. I’ve been wanting to write about this for a while but felt that Thanksgiving week was the right time. After all, isn’t Thanksgiving…
Positive post Sunday, November 17, 2019- Week 144. Could you imagine living a life without ever making a mistake? Or perhaps a better question would be, would you want to?

Positive post Sunday, November 10, 2019- Week 143. Could you imagine a community without volunteers? I can’t.

Positive post Sunday, November 3, 2019- Week 142. Did you remember to set your clocks back today, “Fall Back”?

Positive post Sunday, October 20, 2019- Week 140. This week I decided to write about parenting. Yes, this is a very broad subject with many experts and endless literature available to research, but I chose a different path.

Positive post Sunday, October 13, 2019- Week 139. Well, we’ve moved into fall with Halloween just around the corner. Yes, Halloween decorations are already up, and I’m sure Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations will start popping up very soon (Actually, Christmas decorations have been out for sale at Lowe’s for over a week).

Positive post Sunday, October 6, 2019- Week 138. When was the last time you attended your high school reunion? Well, thanks to the planning lead by Joe Nocella, this past Friday I had the opportunity to catch up with roughly 25 classmates from Saint Francis High School Class of ‘79, our 40th class reunion. A…
Positive post Sunday, September 29, 2019- Week 137. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “do things for the right reasons”, or more specifically, “do the right things for the right reasons”.
