Hope

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for hmm probably a week now. Hope has been a prominent virtue and struggle for me for many years now. In fact, one year my mom gave me a sweatshirt for Christmas and she probably bought it because it had cute snowmen and stuff on it, but I…

The Only Way

“Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into…
