Monday Monday....

Monday can just feel like a day that is a long way from the next weekend. Often for me it is a day of hope; this is the day that I think I will get started on all of those projects I have put off. The day I will tackle work with a vengeance. Monday is the day the eating will get under control and I will certainly exercise because it's a new week.

Monday often turns into the just another day; projects left untouched and candy bars eaten. But it's one in seven we get each week. Might as well enjoy it! Happy Monday..

Why oh Why....

It's a beautiful Sunday morning in the Twin Cities; this morning Mark and I went to the Basilica for early Mass. We have been looking for our Church home since we came back to the cities. This morning as we left we felt we had found it. But why is it important to us to have a Church home?

As we were sitting in Mass a young girl we don't even know was taking her last breath. She was an acquaintance of one of our granddaughters. We followed her story for the last year and half. She fought a valiant fight with cancer. Her story is was documented mostly by her mother on caring bridge. This last week was a tough one. So what does this have to do with our search for a Church or why we believe?

We believe because what would the purpose be if we did not? What good would come from such a terrible loss? A family is devastated but there is hope. Hope of a life not on this earth. A Church home gives us somewhere to ground ourselves. A place to get on our knees or sit humbly to remember that the stress doesn't have to be; the stress of this life is temporary. We believe because there is more; it gives us purpose.

 When this pandemic started I thought, I got this! I can do this. We all did. We didn't think it would reach us. As the weeks and months...
