Thank you for your email Donna

Purity, simplicity, art.

 

Received an inspiring email from someone who knows the story of the Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger from the beginning. Praying there will be time and energy to write a post to share what it accomplished.

Everything we do and say tells a story about what is at the center of our universe.

The challenge is that we judge our story based on our intentions, others judge our story based on our behaviors.

And may our behaviors (not our thoughts) be the kind of example that others aspire to emulate.

Hope it feels like home, and like an exciting adventure into the second half of our purpose-driven life.

Was the second Lector yesterday. We are the Body of Christ.

The biggest tragedy amongst Catholics is too many believe and not enough do.

Timeless Insight: It matters little to walk to do the preaching if not the walking is the preaching.
