"O Father, light up the small duties of this day's life: May they shine with the beauty of Your countenance. May we believe that glory can dwell in the most common task of every day."

Blessed Augustine of Hippo

Together on the Beach





All together again
our view and short walk each day...

united with her dear friend...
yeah...he's alright!
beauty deep inside
some R&R...
love this little face!
Love this nature-girl!
yeah, he's pretty cool...
frolicing with his big sissy and "other mommy"
that's all you'll get from me...
a little friend stopped by

Hopeful indeed!

"For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:24-28

Down hearted...


Not sure how else to write this. Not sure what to think, feel or say. For, I may say too much, think too much and feel too much. Weighted heaviness.

FDR's ordination is not a go. Not "accepted" for lack of paper work that was needed by our Bishop? There is much more here, yet we choose to Love; covering a multitude of transgressions--may God give us the strength!
We have been assured that this decision has nothing to do with him. Truthfully, we are caught in a whirlwind of political affairs--a giant wait-and-hold-on sticky net hoping and praying for our leaders to straighten out the current torrential mess in the Archdiocese. I need not say much; we all know the current state of the archdiocese.

I ask for your prayers. Pray hard for the church, the Hierarchy, and the clergy.

This too shall pass -- I hold onto this and can only trust in God's will.

By God's grace...


14 years ago I married this man, where TODAY I love him with more intensity than that glorious June 3rd day.

"Together...
We have loved, laughed, cried, sacrificed and endured.
I would not change a thing."

May God continue to give us strength to endure while sacrificing -- remembering to laugh, cry and love all the days of our lives.

As you can tell...I'm mad about this man!
