His-self
Yesterday he was in a good mood, everything was right with the world and I was great, could do no wrong. This morning he insisted it was evening and did not understand why he had to sleep with his shoes off if he was just taking a nap. So I thought, this is going to… Read More ›
Everydayness
It is in the everydayness that we seek truth, though there can be times where we rise above the clouds into a broader reality. In our everyday lives we always have to choose, make choices to take that next step forward. The inner life, the life of seeking to deepen our love and trust in… Read More ›
The hidden one
I hide, so those who seek will walk the road of faith and not surety. For my essence is infinite and the mysteries of the Universe will lead to my reality, an intelligence beyond vast, infinite, wherein shadows of its immensity can be found over large stretches of time, as mankind slowly learns of its… Read More ›
Common to the point of blandness
I was reading yesterday, a book written by a Priest about the NDE experience and the Christian path. I won’t go into the book, but as I was reading it, the reality of my being in the latter part of my life was very strong. It does not matter that I ‘may’ have thirty years… Read More ›
The prayer of a man past his prime (me)
As I age Lord my sense of manhood seems to change. When younger it was about muscles and vigor, endurance and lots of armor, pushups, and handstands, and lifting heavy weights, never admitting weakness, or even knowing of any in any real sense that I had any.

We are pilgrims on the way
We are pilgrims on the way A winding down is our lives; roots deepen as the limbs and foliage slowly wear down and are let go of; our vitality and beauty traded for something else; a look of being worn out from the journey, seeing the end but still taking that one step, then… Read More ›
My chosen path
My chosen path I was watching on YouTube an episode of “Thinking twice”. This program host debates, some of which I find very interesting. I was watching one the other day about science and if it has done away with the need for God. Both sides were courteous in presenting their points and I enjoyed… Read More ›
The connection
Waiting can be exhausting. In care-giving when the end of the journey is in sight, there is a connection with the patient that intensifies. It has nothing to do with the actual work in caring for them. It is deeper, a connection that is forged from possibly years of interaction. In caring for others there… Read More ›
That first step
Corners can be a good place to be, yet mostly not. Backed into slowly over the years, with elbows hitting opposite walls, tight, a self created prison, with only one way out, yet often not seen. Looking out from one’s narrow perch, with no place to turn, unless one just wants to show their back;… Read More ›
Nothing that may be done for Christ’s sake must be despised
Let this be the model to which your lives conform: to be in thought and desire at home in the everlasting fatherland with Christ, and yet shirk no kind service that can be done for Christ’s sake during the toilsome journey through life; to be willing to follow Christ the Lord on his upward journey… Read More ›
