Thread of Hope
People have sent me the most amazing and thoughtful gifts. This crocheted angel arrived today and made me cry. The friend who sent it to me visits an inmate on death row. She enclosed the winged one in the card … Continue reading

Choosing Life
I awoke around 8:15 this morning and thought if I got moving, I could make it to 9:15 mass on this World Day of the Sick. I arrived late due to being stuck behind a snow plough for a bit. … Continue reading
