Spiritual health is like physical health.
You get out of it what you put into it.
Sort of like eating your vegetables. We all know we should, but do we?
Pray without ceasing, but do we?

Happiness & Wellness
Do you have happiness and wellness as a goal?
There’s not much of it out there in the world, if you look closely.
There are pockets of happiness and wellness, and like many things in life, rather elusive.
And yet, we can have them both. All we have to do is count our blessings and quit comparing.
Disney Pixar UP
We watched the new Disney-Pixar movie, UP many months ago. At the time, my son and I for only the second time. My wife, her first.
In the beginning scenes, you see the life of Mr. Frederickson and his wife Ellie.
There is one scene, I knew if I looked over at Cheryl, she’d be looking over at me. Only people changed by infertility would be touched in a profound way during that scene.
The Frederickson’s couldn’t become parents.
Why Be Thankful?
Seriously?
Why be thankful?
Why not?
Why not be thankful? I mean, for everything.
Today, Good Friday, of all days, we have a great opportunity to be thankful.

Sunday Is What You Make It
And so is every other day.
Today’s preparations include the usual:
- Wake up early
- On my knees in prayer
- Coffee
- Check email
- LinkedIn, Twitter, You Tube, Facebook checks
- Write five blogs
- Practice the first reading
We leave in less than an hour, and by 9:00AM, I’ll be standing in front of nearly 1,500 Parishioners at Holy Family Catholic Church.
As a Lector (reader), I will speak God’s Holy Word to them. It’s over in less than two minutes.
It may be the only scripture they hear all week.
Can you comprehend this?
All week.
This is all they’ll get.
Sunday is what you make it.
And so is every moment of every day.
