Story Telling
Do you like to tell stories? Like to listen to them? Both? Listening to my daughter tell a story recently, it occurred to me... If you’re a parent, listening to stories is a key skill for the vocation. The more you listen to your kids, the more stories they tell, the more you learn about …
Lyrics Post: “Running To Stand Still”
I’ve been feeling this way a lot lately. Thought I would share. "Running To Stand Still" “And so she woke up Woke up from where she was Lying still Said I gotta do something About where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in …
Buzzing Brain

Do It Anyway
I’ve thought a lot lately about anxiety, worry, and fear. In fact, it’s been a topic I return again and again to most all of my life. I wonder how to respond, cope, battle, persevere through these feelings; to not let them consume, devour, destroy; instead, to transcend. I’ve lived with these emotions the whole …

Love for Others…YES
From Francis yesterday: “Our love for others, for who they are, moves us to seek the best for their lives. Only by cultivating this way of relating to one another will we make possible a social friendship that excludes no one and a fraternity that is open to all. #FratelliTutti” And then today: “It is …
