Today is National Hawaii Day and the day after the 4th of July. While I know the 4th is a big holiday here in America, personally I think people should get the 5th of July off. Why? Unless the 4th falls on a Friday (like this year) or Saturday, today would be a hung-over work day.

Hooray for the Red White and Blue. Now I know most of you, if you are celebrating Independence Day, you’ve got it together by now. I can’t imagine waking up on the 4th of July without a game plan. Although by the number of people I see wandering about in the grocery store with blank stares, some might have procrastinated too long.

This question goes out to those living in America – what does the 4th of July mean to you? Does it touch your soul? Do you get teary-eyed when you see fireworks and hear a patriotic song?

Welcome to July, where the dedication of the month is The Precious Blood of Jesus. Don’t worry, we aren’t going to get into all that just yet. But come Advent and the start of the new Church Year I’ll have plenty to say. That is if I remember . . .

Can this be right? Has another month slipped by? Is 2025 really and truly half way behind us? That’s scary. But then again, perhaps the best is yet to come. We just need to let go, and trust in Him.

If ever there were polar opposites among Christ’s Chosen, it had to be Peter and Paul. Both men were Jews who lived in the time of Christ. Both reacted to Christ’s teachings and conversion in very different ways.
Continue reading “A Day to Celebrate Two Pillars of Faith”The Beautiful Heart of Mary
Today, following the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. While both of these feasts involve the heart, they are not the same.
Continue reading “The Beautiful Heart of Mary”Help Us, Dear Lady
Today is both the feast day of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our Lady’s feast day is fixed on June 27, while the Sacred Heart of Jesus is tied to Pentecost Sunday, which all goes back to Easter.

This year for Father’s Day Kiddo got Hubby a new tabletop grill. It’s really awesome with a big cooking area, uses a propane tank so you aren’t running out of fuel in the middle of cooking and has three separate burners to control temperature.

Vacations and weekend get-aways are essential to our overall well being. Even God took a day to rest to reflect upon all He had accomplished. We should do the same. Enjoy the fruits of our labor, and give thanks to the Lord above.

Have you ever noticed that God’s timing is rarely in line with our wants, wishes or desires? That’s because God has a way of reminding us He is the one in charge aways.

How’s your Monday thus far? More importantly, did you have a good weekend? Here in our corner of the world, the weather has been unusually mild. Some might think the upper 80s is hot, but when you are accustom to double digits by the end of June, 80s is down right refreshing.

When you grow up in America, at some point in your elementary school education you learn about the state you live in. By the time fourth grade rolled around, I had a firm grip and deep love of California’s rich history.

Now I know that we haven’t been profiling National State Day all that much this year. It’s been a hit and miss, depending largely on my frame of mind and the world around me. Arizona does hold a special place in my heart.
