I got an invitation to a party today, but it didn’t state a date or time for arrival. It also said, “The gift of your presence is gift enough.” That’s always a pressure reliever when invited to someone’s special event. I tossed the invitation aside as I rushed through my long to-do list, and soon […]

In A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer, Jim Manney introduces the Examen as the prayer that dramatically altered his perception of prayer and the way he prayed.
Lord, grant me the grace to live in the present and recognize what is possible to look to the future and trust you to be silent, and hear your voice in the stillness to do what you ask without arguing to humbly adapt to radical change to serve, and to graciously accept being served to […]

I own a peculiar baseball cap that I wear all the time. It’s a black hat, simple in appearance, save for the goofy-looking pinkish blob prominently featured above the rim. The blob is smiling, tongue out, with its big googly eyes wide and staring and happy. The blob has a name; it’s Morph. And Morph […]

I don’t remember much about the movie Office Space except the iconic scene in which three employees take out their frustrations on the office printer. Fed up with the repeated error message “PC LOAD LETTER” among other office things, the colleagues take the printer for a ride and destroy it with bats in a field. […]

Sometimes God surprises me in less-than-ideal situations. In the midst of hospital oxygen cannulas, monitors, and nurse call buttons, God revealed to me that God is present in my suffering and desires to bless me with hope.
