Through the Lens of Faith

It amazes me the influence of color in our lives. A bright bouquet of flowers may just help you get through a dark day. Whether there are clouds on the horizon or a storm making its way across your path, keeping a glimpse of a bright flower or something that keeps you lifted up can…

Do you have a particular prayer or picture you focus on when you’re praying? Or maybe you have a statue of a favorite saint that you look at. I think it is helpful to have focal points. Sometimes focal points can change. They can start to feel static and don’t provide the same sort of…

One of my favorite sayings that I’ve heard and seen is “I love you to the moon and back.” It defines love between people and to me it also talks about how God loves us — not even the galaxy can separate us from God’s love. God’s love is so powerful that it transcends all…

With summer comes beautiful green grass. People spend time outside cutting the growing green blades to a certain length. Some like to cut the grass short, perhaps as short as putting green.

What is on your summer bucket list this year? Are you one that has the opportunity to go to a lake or ocean? Are you one that prefers to go camping in the great outdoors? There is still plenty of time to cross things off your bucket list. When you go the lake or the…

There is no shortage of beautiful things in the world. Everywhere you look, beauty can be found. When you take a walk, what do you see? What beauty? When you look around do you tend to look past the beauty? Or are you blind to it? What will it take for you to slow down…

There’s a whole world out there to understand. Often we get stuck in the same place, with the same thoughts. It’s easy to spin. There are mountains everywhere — maybe not in our cities or states, but perhaps in our spiritual lives. The mountains can seem intimidating and overwhelming. Or the mountains can symbolize a…
