“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
Working for God alone
Identity
“At times I’ve got a really big ego. But I’ll tell you the best thing about me. I’m some guy’s dad; I’m some little gal’s dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie’s husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate’s father, boy, that’s enough for me to be remembered by. That’s more than enough.” John Denver
Your identity
Joy
“I learned from experience that joy does not reside in the things about us, but in the very depths of the soul, that one can have it in the gloom of a dungeon as well as in the palace of a king.” St. Therese of Lisieux
