Reflection on Earthquake 2011

Well all you know by now the East Coast had an earthquake.  Yes I live on the East Coast.  It is amazing how calm I was.  First I thought my vertigo was back.  For those of you who don't have it that is how it feels.  Then my daughter says um mom the couch is moving, why?  My son says Earthquake!!! All I thought is July, a tornado hits us; August an earthquake; this weekend a hurricane is supposed to hit.  God is definitely sending signs.  Are we listening?  It got me thinking really what do we need?  What is the message he is sending us?  He wants us to simplify our lives inside and out. This means simplifying the things we have in our homes, especially if it is better placed with another person; spiritually de-cluttering our minds and hearts; and to remember to put family and God first.  God Bless and keep safe!

Book Review: The Little Way of Lent By Father Gary Caster

The Little Way of Lent: meditations in the spirit of Saint Therese of Lisieux By Father Gary Caster
Saint Therese always emphasize the small sacrifices we should make for God. Our small steps leads us to the Kingdom of God.  Father Gary Caster uses that theme through correlation of meditations along with the readings for each day during the Lenten Season.  These meditations give us everyday examples how to walk closer to God, through the sacrifices we make during Lent.  I highly recommend this book for a way to enhance your Lent or even everyday life.  Using this book either within Lent or outside the Lent season will bring you closer to God with its meditations.  It makes you look upon your life and see how you can change it is small ways.
