I am leaving today for my 5-day Canonical retreat in final preparations for Ordination in May. Pray for me. I will be praying for you. Amen.

Our world today is full of "make believe." Jesus Christ is the reality. Amen.

It is not about us (individually). It is about us (collectively). God created US in His image. Amen.

In our smallness, we need to try and look at the big picture. There we will find God and what is truly important. Amen.

Our deeds speak louder than our words. We need to let others see the love of Jesus Christ. Amen.

All that we have is from God's Graces. And when we have more than we need, we are meant to share. Amen.

An eight letter word. Biblically, the number eight is associated with resurrection or regeneration. What we strive for each and every day. Amen.

Jesus tells us it is not was is on the outside, but what is on the inside of each of us. Amen.

Simply, it is the important things in life that satisfy us. And God gives us those important things. Amen.

We should never be afraid or ashamed to ask God for anything. If it is on our heart, He wants to hear it. Amen.
