I will open the windows of Heaven And pour you out a blessing..... What makes us think He meant material things? But where your heart is There will your treasure be. Think, therefore, on things above, And not…
I wonder....... I wonder what You would have done If no one heard Your words If none had come... And do You find it odd when others say: Why didn't He just come today When all could hear And then replay H…
Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you that I am not lik other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or e…

GREAT GRACE

A couple years ago, December 19, 2003, I broke my foot. I was off work for three months. Couldn't drive. Had my (driving) foot in a "moon boot" for three months. Had to have physical therapy when it came off because m…
I have a very long history of not wanting people to see me, of wanting to blend into the scenery, disappear, vaporize. Yesterday I tried an experiment and put my profile pic up. It didn't last long. I had to take it…

What is this, Edit IV? OK, I'm not done with the color thing yet. Be patient. I'll get it the way I want it.......eventually
EDIT III: So, this will have to do for now.
EDIT II: Actually the colors do match how I feel today.......yuk!
EDIT: Ok, my new colors suck. I'll do better later.
So.........they say you never step into the same river twice. It is neither the same foot nor the same river. So........could we say we are never the same person twice?
I got a newsletter the other day that I subscribe to and this was a part that jumped out at me: From CERC Salvation for the Orthodox is all tied up with communion and unity with God. For Orthodoxy, salvatio…
WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Being as Irish as Paddy's pig, I once again searched for my Irish roots today, and found this on www.Swyrich.com First found in southwest Ireland south of Dublin where they held a family seat from very ancient tim…

Consume in me all that is not consistent with You. Then build me into a monument of Your love.
We had snow on the mountains yesterday. I think it's cool how the snow makes a line across the mountains at a consistent point. I feel like I'm buried under a mountain of…
Ay, now, an' it's the wearin' of the green for the upcoming St Paddy's day, which is just around the corner! May y'all be blessed beyond measure, and the wind be at yer back forever!
I wonder.............. Why do men spit on the ground?
I wonder...... If God had not raised Jesus from the dead, what would religion look like? Would we still worship God? So I guess part of the question is this: if there were no Christianity, what would there be? Of …
I thought I'd introduce you to the rest of my four-legged family. You've already met Scamper, my buddy, from the last entry... Best cat I ever had... Here's his sister, Scooter... …

Thanks guys :) They gave me the day off for my birthday. I was going to go to the beach, but it's rainy. The HR guy is going to look into whether or not I can do 12-hr shifts; I *ahem* casually mentioned that a…
Tomorrow is my birthday. And I don't like it one little bit. In fact, I'm depressed.
Today I have a request: When I see the beauty of God's creation, like I did today with the clouds and snow on the mountains, I want to be able to take a picture of it and save it, and post my own pics on my site. Wh…
I am rendered speechless today by the beauty of God's creation. What a beautiful day....
.......And after a storm, we get calm skies and beautiful clouds.
I was reading someone's site today and was reminded of the story Jesus told in the 14th chapter of Luke, about the man who made a great feast and invited many people. One after another, they all made excuses why …
Search me, O God... See what is inside of me That needs to be removed And washed away So others will see less of me And more of You For one day I will die... As mortals do... …
Edit: I know it isn't Valentine's day anymore. Hey, St Paddy's day is coming But I heard something on EWTN I wanted to share about St Valentine. It seems he was a priest in Italy who set aside the 14th of every month…
