I have let this blog become a wasted space on the internet. A chasm of emptiness - sure, there are shards of joy sprinkled into it - but I can clearly hear the crickets chirping here..That has not what life has been like for me since I created this space. My life has been bustling, warp-speed changes with roller-coaster highs and lows. It's been great, though. .We moved to the Mid-Atlantic

If you have children, imagine this: (I'd tell you to close your eyes and picture it, but if you close your eyes, you can't read what I'm about to type.) Think of little children... I don't know if this happens or happened in your home, but even at 9 1/2 and 8, my girls still behave this way... Think of the late afternoon time, early evening, there's anticipation and waiting and an underlying

Ash Wednesday, 2010. The Lord wants so much for us to turn to Him in bigger ways - and He uses the season of Lent to pull us closer to Him in many smaller ways.This morning, as I prayed, I was called with great conviction to serve Him in a new way. He wants me to be consistent in a way that I haven't before - to use all of my words more carefully, especially. This could mean a lot of things,

Sometimes, when I am excited, I have a hard time falling asleep. I'm a bit like a child, I suppose. This morning, I have risen at about 4 am, after getting less than 6 hours of slumber - and now I must pack our breakfast and supper and shower to get ready to head to New York City for the day. We have been looking forward to this day for weeks, since we got word that we won the lottery. The

What would happen if you died tomorrow? Would your kids have comfort in God? Would they find some peace in knowing He would care for them one way or another through their loss? Would your children know what you believed? Would they have hope?.These are hard questions - who wants to think of their own mortality, let alone the possibility of leaving their children behind at young ages? But it is

"These holy days reawaken a great hope in us. Christ was crucified, yet he rose again and conquered the world... Love is stronger than hate, it has triumphed and we should affiliate ourselves with this victory of love. We should therefore start again from Christ and work together with him for a world founded on peace, justice and love." -Pope Benedict XVI on the Easter Triduum. The past month

From the beginning of my christian journey, I have been eager to share my love and faith. When a priest from another church asked if my husband and I would get involved with their Life Teen program, we didn't hesistate to say yes. We had no idea that yes would bring such abundant blessings (and abundant headaches) to our lives. A month later, when our own church was still trying to get a

Welcome!I've been blogging for nearly 4 years... it seems so odd that for so long, I've wanted to write about something and can't really figure out what that something is. This evening, it occurred to me that maybe what I'm really supposed to write about - at least for now - is my faith. I don't know exactly what that will mean for this space on the web, but I suppose for now, I will be
