The ultimate Comfort Food

Fall has seem to hit Michigan over the past week or so, this morning on my way in to work it was 46 degrees, that’s a tad bit chilly for an August morning.

I love the cooler weather, I love to sit in my house with all the windows open [...]

Saint Ted

The death of Ted Kennedy is an end to an era for America. We have seen the last of an American family that has been woven in to the American fabric and our political lives, for many of us we have never known a time with out a Kennedy in some sort of political office.  [...]

My 3 am wake up call

Last night or should I say this morning at 3am I woke from my sleep. A lot has been on my mind as of late and sleep suffers for this. But this morning my first reaction was to say a quick Hail Mary. I called upon my heavenly mother to come and comfort me, to [...]

5 at a time

I like to read, I like reading Stephen King, Dean Kuntz (only the Odd Thomas stuff) books on the catholic Faith, general spiritual books and as of late political books. The last in the list is new to me, I never read them until last year prior to the election, now I’m hooked.

The Manual

The manual that God wrote; that we were all supposed to receive at birth, explaining how to interpret the body’s signals, is out of print.

Garden of the Soul

The roots of sin run deep in our hearts. Sin, the act of forsaking God, leaves a deep root system that can take years to remove from the garden of the soul.
We sin once, we lie or cheat, we disrespect our parents or our children. We leave a hole where once a flower of [...]

God’s Infomercial

Can we truly find heaven here on earth? This is a question my friend posted on her blog (www.timelytidbits.wordpress.com). Well really not a question but rather a statement of trying to find heaven here on earth, the Promised Land. Like the Israelites, we too walk aimlessly in a desert, or so we think.
They were [...]
