Weekday Reflections 
Seeking Signs
Trust in the Lord
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits and I hope for his word. Psalm 130:5 It seems like we do an awful lot of waiting. Waiting for better weather. Waiting until we feel better. Waiting for the show to start. Waiting for our children to call. Waiting. The psalm says that “I trust in… Read More ›
Signs of God
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” Matthew 12:38 Since I like to write about my faith and where I see God in my life, I have to pay attention. I have to look for signs of God’s presence. I have to admit,… Read More ›
A Forever Love
Jesus said: “Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Mt 11:28 This has long been one of my favorite scripture verses. No doubt. No need to think about it. As a child, I often went to church alone to find rest and love and peace. Church… Read More ›
Our Shepherd
“… his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned.” Oooh boy. What a gospel reading for me to read right now. Feeling troubled and abandoned? Yup. For sure. Feeling like my heart has broken in two? Yup. For sure. But it is not all about me. It is about… Read More ›

Never Give Up
“She came and fell at his feet.” Mk 7:25 Sometimes we find ourselves in a difficult or painful situation that we are not sure we will ever survive. And all we can do is get on our knees and beg God for a miracle.Have you ever felt that way? Isn’t that how the woman in… Read More ›
Follow Me
As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. – Mk 2:14 Follow me. Do you remember when you first heard those words from Jesus? Perhaps you heard them through a friend or family member, encouraging… Read More ›
John the Baptist
He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,” and all were amazed. – Lk 1:63 John is His name. Oh, little did they know who he was or who he was to become. John the Baptist. The prophet. Jesus’ cousin. And so much more. In this gospel reading, Zechariah, who had not… Read More ›
