When a difficult challenge arises for someone I love, more often than not, I launch right into problem-solving mode. When my oldest son was officially diagnosed with hearing loss, I immediately started working on an action plan. I got him fitted with hearing aids and made regular appointments for both speech and occupational therapies. I […]

To see a cactus is to see a plant well-armored and well-suited to the harshest of environments—at least, to an amateur cacti observer like me. The fleshy green exterior is solid and firm; the coat of prickles is intimidating and sharp. I give cacti a wide berth. For that reason, I had no trouble staying […]

This post is based on Week Eight of An Ignatian Prayer Adventure. I find myself drawn to the post-Resurrection scene in John, chapter 21.

It’s mind-boggling how many times Jesus’ friends didn’t recognize him. I can’t imagine how I would not recognize one of my good friends after having lived with that person for an extended time. Even if my friend were wearing a disguise, wouldn’t there be something that might tip me off? Yet this is exactly what […]

We all encounter suffering, either our own or someone else’s. Perhaps our suffering or the suffering we witness is not like Jesus’s agony on the cross or like my grandfather’s cancer journey, but in our own way we experience and witness hurt, abandonment, betrayal, loss, doubt, fear, or pain. It is hard to endure suffering […]

I’m in a period of discernment, not sure where God is calling me. I may discover that the old ways I’ve been doing things are no longer appropriate; in a sense, a part of me may have to die so that I can discover a new way of serving God. In this way, I will […]
