The Grace of Life

I used to think that I wasn’t fully known to anyone, and didn’t especially want to be. After quietly becoming Catholic in 2010, and then going to southwest Georgia to finish my degree after 2 brain bleeds, life spiraled and changed so rapidly that I almost withdrew completely. I got my dog, worked constantly, and I survived. Because God was there. People often wondered at the restaurant where I worked why I didn’t go out much, but I enjoyed my ancient apartment, and sitting around with my dog. I’m back to doing that now, and people do care….life is weird and full of Grace and Love. 🙂

Enough boring stuff about me….You see, blog readers, God is with us even now. For the last couple of Sundays, I’ve been watching a live Mass on YouTube. Father Mike speaks often about a world come undone, and today he said so many nuggets in his homily I lost track. 😂You should look it up on YouTube. Truly. It’s on Ascension Presents YouTube Channel. This world that was once perfect is undone. But God/Jesus/and the Holy Spirit are always here with us, and we are being drawn more deeply into the heart of the one who sacrificed His life for our sins. I confess I haven’t been taking a lot of time to reflect on that fact recently.

May Gods radical love help all our hearts in the days and months and years ahead.
