10 Years

Yesterday marked 10 years since my mom passed away. There have been a lot of memories working through my mind and heart over the past several weeks. Last night, a poem came to me as I reflected on my mom's life. I thought I would share it here. I Wonder if In Heaven The days have turned to weeks on earth, The weeks to months and years, I wonder if in Heaven though, Time really disappears. The sun rises with each morning, The moon shines with each night, I wonder if in Heaven though, There is always brilliant light. This world is ever spinning, No matter the joy or pain, I wonder if in Heaven though, There is no such thing as rain. While here on God’s great footstool, The stars shine but still are dim, I wonder if in Heaven though, They are brighter next to Him. Here in mortal frame, A separation and a fall, I wonder if in Heaven though, Through the veil you see it all. Time is ever fleeting here, Passing as a dream, Some

O Say What is Truth

As the new year began, I decided that I was going to step away from social media.  I removed the Facebook app from my phone, and instead added a journaling app, determined to spend more time writing in my journal over the next year than engaging with social media posts.  I felt like it was important for me to make better use of my time, and also felt strongly that in the last couple of years significant investment in social media is not good for my spirit.  I am certainly aware of its virtues, and I have made the decision over the last couple of months that I would "check in" every once in awhile, but that my own posts would be significantly limited.  I have to say, this decision has done me much good.  I have spent less time with my phone; I have been more focused on my work; I have found more productivity in my weekends; I have given even more attention to my family; I have written in my journal regularly; I have found myself being spiritually fed on a more regular basis.

Grandma Elia

The following is the tribute I gave to my Grandma Elia at her memorial service on February 1, 2017, including the poem I wrote in her memory. I love my Grandma Elia.  She will always have a special place in my heart and my memories of her are truly joyful.  Grandma came into my life as a young boy.  I spent a lot of time with Grandpa Paul and Grandma Elia.  We had a lot of wonderful weekends together.  Grandma made a choice very early in my relationship with her, and that is that she was my grandma and I was her grandson.  She did that same for my brothers and sister.  You would never know in any way that we were not related by blood, except she was very clearly Mexican and we were very clearly white!  It was the one difference she was always sure to highlight.  She encouraged me to find a nice Mexican girl who spoke Spanish.  She ended up more than okay with my white blonde-haired choice too. Grandma had a quick wit and a wicked sense of humor.  For all the talk of Grandpa Paul
