Being Perfect

An important reminder for this sometimes-still-perfectionist mom. :)
There's some really good stuff in this one.

Lent 2020

Ready or not, Lent 2020 is happening NOW!

An idea I am bringing into this Lent is one that I heard Fr. Mike speak on this past November at the University of Mary. Instead of looking at Lent as a time of giving something up, we should look at it as a time of spiritual training. We want to emerge on Easter Sunday as stronger Christians, not the same Christians who just start eating chocolate again.



Here are a few videos I have found helpful as I prepare to enter into Lent 2020. . . .

Telling the Story of God's Love


We just need to tell the story. That story can be as simple as including, " . . . and then I went to church . . . as you tell about your weekend."

Evangelization has to be RIGHT HERE before it is OUT THERE.

"See a need, fill a need."

Good stuff here--
