Another song came on right after the last one…..and it was perfect. My parents were the ultimate in everything they did … really! From raising 6 rambunctious kids, to Girl Scouts and Basketball. From unconditional support when toddlers became teenagers and then young adults to always being there in troubles and needs. They jitter-bugged their way through life – always…
Sometimes….you feel like you’re going thru the proverbial hell. I would venture to say that most of us who have walked this earth have felt that way at one time or another. All of us have an escapism that we reach out to in order to survive. Mine is putting pen to paper….and listening to music. There is something about…
This meme says a lot in a few words. Going through the journey of retrospection during this month causes us to take a look in the rear-view mirror and wonder…..what if. What if I had done this…or that…or said this…or that? Questions that have no answers. But in looking back, we can also see clearly how each and every decision…
This is the month of reflection….introspection….decisions. However, this year..this year… it’s a real strange one for me, even though I’ve been going through this journey for almost forty years. After beginning my ‘search for truth’ way back in my days of Catholicism, and then landing in the middle of a ‘back to the beginning’ spiritual movie. But…this year. This year….
So what do you think….is there truly a line in the sand that the Holy One is drawing? Do we feel that way simply because of the state of the chaos in our world? Maybe…maybe it’s a bit of both. God is always drawing a line in the sand…for you and for me – for everyone. And that proverbial line…
Throughout the years, from the mid 1980’s to now 2023, it has been a culmination of lows and highs, ups and downs miracles and seeming disasters….but every single ounce of it was worth the trip! In a week I will be crossing the golden years into … what? … not sure what they call being 71, but inside I still…
As time marched on … and we found ourselves in a new century – and the world did not fall apart nor did all the computers go to death-con one….we geared up to continue the search for the truth! My passion was not abated one little bit. It was time to get moving and see what the Father had in…
In 1993 my mother, Veronica “Mickey” Frierdich (of blessed memory) and I traveled to Israel all by ourselves! it was an amazing experience full of excitement, discovery and blessings! We left St. Louis and took a long round-about journey till we landed in our destination of the ‘land’. Our first layover was in Toronto….than in England where we stayed two…
Ah…..the 90’s… the 1990’s were transformational in my spiritual and physical life. Sometimes in one’s journey of life a season takes place and events take place that you could never imagine nor even dream about. This was exactly what happened to myself and my family during the next ten years. Searching for TRUTH became an obsession…in fact, it became MY…
The 80’s The 80’s brought a lot of changes in our small family. My search for ‘truth‘ caused a lot of confusion and a bit of disruption to my friends and family. Being a good ‘Christian‘ just didn’t fit into my new set of ‘truths‘ anymore. What was I to do with all these ‘facts‘ that were popping out of…
