Trust Anyway

There is not much to say that has not been said. People are dying at alarming rates. Jobs are being lost every second. People are stuck in apartments, houses, and other countries. The world is spinning in a wild confusion. Wedding plans are up in the air. Churches have been locked for weeks. Streets are… Read More Trust Anyway

Girl’s Don’t Deserve Roses

I repost this every year because it is important.  Valentine’s day means cards, chocolate, teddy bears, and especially roses. Pink and red is splattered all over grocey stores, doctor’s offices, and schools. The first couple years of college, I thought about how special this day was for a lot of women on campus (some do… Read More Girl’s Don’t Deserve Roses

You Are Flammable

It is both a terrifying reality and a wondrous opportunity when we come to know that we are flammable. Everyday we have the capability of burning with love and kindness or with destruction and hate. We can choose to carry a fire that spreads ferociously into the hearts of those we love. This flame eradicates… Read More You Are Flammable

Spam Thoughts

I was driving back home from a day of working in the hospital. The 45 minute commute is a time where I can relax and focus on the tasks ahead of me. All of a sudden, I get a call. My radio lights up with a number that is from the surrounding area. Oh, maybe… Read More Spam Thoughts

When is their surgery?

Lately, I have been on my surgery rotation for medical school. This is a unique rotation because I am given the opportunity to observe many different procedures. Sometimes I can even “scrub in”, which is medical jargon for assisting the surgeon. At the start of my day, I go to the locker room and don… Read More When is their surgery?

“You Are So Calm”

“I recommend calm, and calm all the time.” St. Pio Being calm is a gift from God. I have witnessed people who remain calm in the craziest of situations. It amazes me how someone can remain calm when all hope is lost. When I think of calmness I picture many different people. The surgeon who… Read More “You Are So Calm”

The Organist with One Arm

This morning I was sitting in Church when the music started. This means that the priest is coming into the Church and the Mass is starting. I never usually notice the music. It provides a beautiful backdrop to the worship, but because it does not change much it is not something my mind wanders towards.… Read More The Organist with One Arm

Let the waves carry you

Today, I was at the beach reading. The theme “Following God’s will” has been on my mind a lot lately. After quite some time the heat of the day came. I usually enjoy going in the waves, but today I was not really feeling it. However, when at the beach, you got to do what… Read More Let the waves carry you

The mind spins, the cross stands firm.

The Carthusian religious order’s motto goes something like this… As the world spins, the cross stands firm. Today I am going to change it up a bit. As your mind spins, the cross stands firm.  When everything does not make sense. When you feel like the word confused doesn’t even do it justice. When you… Read More The mind spins, the cross stands firm.

Faith is not Feelings

Yesterday I read the quote, “It wasn’t nails that held Jesus to the cross but love.” The truth is: God loves you with an infinite love. He died for you. He died for you. Let me repeat that: God died for you. Most days the truth is hard to swallow. We may strive in our… Read More Faith is not Feelings
