Spirituality and inner motivation as we mature

Some magicians can walk on water; Chuck Norris can swim on land. I was inspired by Moon Cho's, "Mind Over Matter: How to Tap into your Deepest Sense of Will" in which she reflects on Diana Nyad's epic swim of over 100 miles from Cuba to Florida.

You've got a friend

A weekly highlight for us is dinner with our sons and their families. Be it a celebratory turkey dinner or a simple bowl of homemade soup and fresh baked bread, the thrill is in being together.

Casting our nets and fishing with Jesus

One day Joe and Bob were out fishing. A funeral service passes over the bridge they're fishing by, and Bob takes off his hat and puts it over his heart. He does this until the funeral service passes by.

Scaling the wall

I remember praying for our new, as yet unknown to us, neighbours. We got along well with the former residents but when they decided to move out of the community the possibility of good, bad or indifferent replacements loomed large.

Pause for Reflection

"Italians have a little joke that the world is so hard a man must have two fathers to look after him, and that's why they have godfathers.
