St. Columban’s
I love it here along Lake Erie. Only the sound of the waves in the background and the rustle of leaves overhead break the silence. I have come here to pray and rest today. My heart is full of questions … Continue reading
A thousand words
It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Tonight my wife organized a picnic for my mother-in-law who has been a patient in a local nursing care facility for almost a year now. It was really … Continue reading
The Spirit of the Lord
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at … Continue reading

Lady Poverty
I’ve been pondering a lot lately. What do I do? Where do I go? Who or what do I serve. I have a heart to help at risk students and how do I do that best. I stopped by the … Continue reading
