As an overthinker, too often I can lay awake while my mind runs races around the course of the same worrying thoughts. I’ve taken to turning on the EWTN app, going to OnDemand, scrolling down to the Homilies, Prayers and Devotions button, then to the Rosaries and Prayers. As I first lay down to go […]

It has been almost 15 months since I came to take care of Terry. I never imagined I would be here this long. I was just supposed to be here long enough to arrange for someone else to take care of him. Friends advised against it. I certainly didn’t want to be in a terrible
At a certain point in my life, I had an experience that defined the course of my life. I had a series of supernatural encounters with God disguised as some random, outrageous thoughts that years later would come back to haunt me.

During the COVID lock-down, I had signed up with a company that sold drop-ship websites. For the bargain price of $5000.00 they would build a website, including all the products, that would make a decent income for me. They implied many things, none of which were spelled out in the contract, but being the honest
A year or two passed and it happened again. Once again, my husband and I were shopping together. Once again, a rainstorm kept us from going to our van. Once again, I asked the Lord to stop the rain. This time however, I asked for 10 minutes. This time, I was already driving before the
