Too funny, terribly confusing. My walk with God has been a continual story of having the rug ripped from under my feet, FORCING…… Continue reading CATHOLIC WOMAN’S ALMANAC{CWA}

Daily Prompt: Polite Company- Balderdash!
“It’s never a good idea to discuss religion or politics with people you don’t really know.” Agree or disagree As a child and young adult, my parents taught me that polite people avoid all discussions that involve politics or religion. Most people are passionate about both subjects and discussions often become heated. A well brought up person…… Continue reading Daily Prompt: Polite Company- Balderdash!

Spiritual Freedom
A sunrise. The light of truth dispels the darkness of confusion. Many traditionalists believe that church culture is the same as basic tenets of the faith. Challenging custom is then synonymous with challenging the faith. They are always right. As jean Vanier ( founder of L’Arche) once said, “You can be right. You can be dead right…… Continue reading Spiritual Freedom

Playing God

Likewise, my children are compassionate vacuum cleaners as well, who attract other people’s negative emotions.

I was preparing dinner one afternoon, when five-year old David came running up to me with a serious look on his face. He was always full of energy and mischief but he also had a delightful spirituality that was not…… Continue reading A Five-Year-Old Theologian
