“The world is one’s ship and not one’s home.” St. Therese of Lisieux
Passing through…
Careful in speech
“The word in your mouth is like the stone in the sling, once released you will not be able to take it back. If your word will not reach its target, do not throw it because it will hurt. Inappropriate words will surely cause harm. Avoid using ambiguous language and only choose the word that has only one explanation. Be a good example instead of only giving good advice.” St. Charbel
Careful in speech
True charity
“True charity consists in bearing all our neighbor’s defects – not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.” St. Therese of Lisieux
Looking for the good in others
Becoming Christ-like
“When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it – don’t back down and don’t give up – then you’re going to mystify a lot of folks.”

Allow Christ to shine through you!
My latest poem
A beautiful home…a white picket fence,
Hard work, sweat and grit…paid for this expense.
The “why” matters…is it all for pretense?
“Safety, good education”…to condense?
Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return,
Giving your time and treasure…and doing a good turn?
Sharing the Faith with your neighbors…this is God’s concern!
American dream? OK!…but with a moral sense!
Working for God alone
“Now that I am about to appear before God, I understand very clearly that one thing only is necessary: to work for Him alone, and not for oneself or for others.” St. Therese of Lisieux
