“Courage does not consist in calculation, but in fighting against chances.” Blessed Cardinal Newman
The more a golfer thinks about dumping his ball in the water or hitting it out of bounds, the more likely it will happen. Just line up and hit your shots in life, without excessive analysis, and trust that God will take care of the rest!
God bless,

“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent…that is to triumph over old age.” Thomas Aldrich
Over 50 does not mean “over the hill.” Age gracefully, but sharpen your body and your soul so you can last a little longer….run a marathon, keep reading and writing, challenge yourself spiritually and be open to where God may want to take you!
God bless,

“[Reality] is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect.” CS Lewis
Family life can be messy and things do not always go your way…learn how to embrace the unexpected unpleasantries with great love!

“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.” CS Lewis
I strongly encourage all of you to exercise daily and eat healthy food, but our physical health cannot be an end in itself…and without a regular prayer life and a deep connection to Christ as your best friend, you simply will not experience inner peace.
God bless,

I felt the band between our hearts,
Was shattered and broken apart.
So painful…watching you depart!
Christ would not allow this to pass,
Making bands of rubber, not glass,
United!…despite the crevasse.
You won the race and fought the good fight,
So many poems…what MORE can I write????
When Jesus asked you, “Show me your heart?”
“It’s bound to a priest…that’s a good start!
I helped you make him, God’s work of art!”
