Episode 476 – The Miracle of Our Doubt
It is hard to believe that with so many examples of God’s power in the Gospel, and the stories of the Church throughout history, that so many still refuse to believe God. The Feast of Palm Sunday gives us the chance to believe God as our King, even in those moments that we don’t agree…

Yesterday we celebrated the “Good News” of the Annunciation by the Archangel Gabriel that God was going to be born for our salvation. It was a day for worship and fellowship. Even fasting was lessened by the Church for the celebration. Now today, we are back on the road. I feel refreshed and ready for…

Today is the Feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos by the Archangel Gabriel. It is a day of celebration in the middle of our Great Lenten Journey. I took a lot of road trips over the years. Every trip has that moment when the journey pauses for a great side trip. Ok. I know…

I love blessing babies. Holding their tiny bodies as they often stare into the dome of the Church during the blessing brings great joy. It seems we all ‘get into the game’ when a baby is around. We all want to hold the baby. Babies remind us of God’s love and promise. Today is the…

The Feast of Theophany reminds each of us that Christ has revealed Himself to us. He brought His Light into the world, so we are no longer living in darkness. When light shines in the darkness, we no longer have anything to fear. Christ has shined His Light so that we could follow the Light…

Forget about calling birds, French hens and goose eggs! Today is the Twelfth Day of Christmas, but instead of partying we are fasting. Today is a strict fast in preparation for the Feast of Holy Theophany, also known as Epiphany. For nearly two weeks the Church feasted. If you didn’t fast before Christmas, the past…
Read MoreOne Door Closes and Another Door Opens
Transitions can be difficult. We transition from childhood to adulthood, from single life to married life, from job to job, and eventually from life to death. With each transition, a new existence begins. Even in death, we begin our eternal life with God in heaven. That’s how I feel every year on New Year’s Eve.…
Read MoreCommon Good
We work hard to provide for our family. We save and invest for the future. We struggle to maintain the balance between work and family, sometimes forgetting the purpose of the blessings from God. Everything we have from God isn’t for us. It is for the common good. The prayers of the Church are filled…
Read MoreEpisode 451 – Find God Inside the Church
When God promised, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink,” He was inviting us to come inside the Church and He would quench our thirst for God. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God is everywhere, but He is inside the Church in a special way. The physical presence of God…
