Truly Rich Reflections: What Is Our Faith All About?

50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 5 — Be Still and Trust

I had a rather emotional day yesterday.

I'm the type of person … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 5 — Be Still and Trust

Truly Rich Reflections: It’s All About Love — How Lent and Valentine’s Day Are Connected

I believe it's no coincidence that the readings for today, Valentine's Day, speak about choosing life and love. First Reading: Deuteronomy 30:15-20 “Today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and doom. If you obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I enjoin on you today, loving him, and walking in his ways, … Continue reading Truly Rich Reflections: It’s All About Love — How Lent and Valentine’s Day Are Connected
