Today's whisper

-

 Today was one of those long days. I was trying to listen for the whisper, yet today was a straight eight. Our normal days are a "block" schedule, (82 min.) but some Fridays we have all eight classes, plus a 20-minute homeroom. One of our duties is that we can be called on to substitute during a period. I was assigned to sub for a physics class. That is where I heard God. Students were engaged in the lab; they had to do. Some kind students explained what they were doing, which I greatly appreciated. A change of pace. Seeing engaged students...wanting to learn, talking together about torque and things I knew nothing about. Yet, they explained it to me. I smiled, just enjoying their enthusiasm. Yes, God spoke to me in a physics class, telling me to step outside my world, get out of my head. During the day, someone asked if I was a big baseball fan because I asked for a jersey day for opening day...My reply: I like the science behind the sports; for me, sports are physics in motion. Today was a reminder that sometimes we need to change our venue, even for 42 minutes to see the beauty God has in store on the path...

Patience and Hope

-
 “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:25 Since the break, the people in my house have been sick. The flu has struck and is still with us. We are waiting patiently for health to return. The advantage of being ill is that you really slow down and rest. Patience and hope. Two words that fill our lives. There were things I wanted to do during my two weeks off. Instead, I must reboot. Luckily, I have the time to do so. Hope and Patience. Living our lives with hope-for what we do not yet have, and waiting patiently can bring a sense of calm on the path…

Planting

-
 “He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelations 21:5 As we begin 2026, perhaps a goal can be to memorize or at least have a weekly scripture passage to live by. I have posted one I created; feel free to create your own. I am finally feeling a little better. I went yesterday and was treated for bronchitis and a sinus infection.   I have been praying that all of you are well and begin 2026 with hope. Hope, faith, and love, these three will overcome anything, and when well planted will bless you forever on the path…

What will your task be in 2026?

“ and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,” Luke 8:2 Mary Magdalene was sent by Jesus to tell the followers he had risen. Yet I think that one of the important reasons that Mary could be given this task was that she modeled the power of Christ through his cure of her seven demons. The seven demons were overcome through Jesus. These are the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, lust, envy, gluttony, and sloth. The deadly sins are replaced with the seven heavenly virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope, and charity. As we come to New Year's and think about how we want to change the path we are on, let's make 2026 a great year. Think about replacing one of the demons that might plague you. Christ is there to help each of us with something we need to work on and replace. Who knows the tasks we will be given when we are cured?  Pray on it, reflect, then ask Christ to cure ...
