    This article sums up and elaborates further on the article from a Carmelite blog written by Chris Sedlmeyer. The image of an infant Moses in a rudderless boat magnifies the spiritual journey of a human soul. As Sedlmeyer narrates;     “God is the sea we drift on and grace is the wind that…

The Mysteries of Life

You got to lose yourself before you can find yourself. You must fall before you discover that you can fly. You have to say goodbye before you can say hello. Before the opportunity knocks, you must taste the bitterness of failure. If you’ve never experienced sorrow, then the true meaning of joy will be lost…

Good Morning!

  Having trouble starting the day?  It starts with opening the window.  Walk to the window.   Pull up the blinds.   Let the morning light in.  Breathe in the fresh morning air.  Then if you have a little more time, walk over to the swamp. See how the geese family is wide awake. Cruising on the…

It Is Never too Late to Live

  Don’t expect a grand miracle. The miracle is that you have hands to hold your rosary. The miracle is that you can recite the prayer straight from your memory, and the miracle is the peace that follows you throughout the day.   Life lived in a simple way glorifies God just as life lived…

Holy, My God, Hold me, Your Child

You literally cry and sleep your way out of the acute pain in your heart, the tightness around your chest, and the heaviness of your brain.

Love Will Decide Everything

8:30 AM. I am at the bar. I feel my temperature dropping quickly, as my shaking body is about to collapse. It happens so fast, as it always does. Panic attack takes on a life of its own and things collapse at a mind-numbing speed. Before things go even worse, I stop everything and run…
