One day as I was perusing through an old art drawer I came across a journal with the Footprints prayer written on it. As I look at it I remembered how I acquired this. It was when the Christian child care center that I supervised for 7 years closed. It seems so long ago now.

The "Little Flower" and Our Lady of the Smile
The "Little Flower" and Our Lady of the Smile
By Larry Peterson
St. Therese was born January 2, 1873 and I want to share my favorite story about this Saint. It happened when she was ten years old, and the result was not just the “Little Flower’s” miraculous recovery from an unknown and life-threatening illness, but it also was the beginning of devotion to what became known as Our Lady of the Smile.

My Online Dating Mistake
My Online Dating Mistake
By Malleson Emmerling
Admittedly, I was reluctant to try online dating at the age of, well, my age. After a lengthy marriage of 20+ years, two adopted children and a mortgage, online dating is not where I thought I’d find myself. After thoughtful consideration, talking to a few priests, and then waiting for an annulment, I decided to jump in to online dating. Head first.
