                                    Something about his eyes...they pierce straight through me and melt my heart! I have this image in almost every room in my home, in my warehouse, my screen saver on my phone...I could never tire of those eyes. Here is the prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus... ...

Last night I had to sing for the Confirmation mass as I do every year with my choir at St. Luke's Church in Stroudsburg, PA. I love participating in this ceremony as I get to watch and pray for this group of young adults who proclaim their commitment to their faith. It is always a grand affair, B...

Sometimes...OK, often times life surprises you and these "surprises" can often mean change. Well, you know the saying "Change is good" but it doesn't always seem that way, at least not at first. It can actually be down right SCARY!!! So this is a story about a SCARY situation turned good. Let me ...

Ok...I think I will have to start a new series here. It has been so much fun reading what others see and don't see in a given photo. Some may be obvious, some obscure, some imaginative, some far fetched, but all entertaining none the less! I just got back from a long weekend visiting my Niece at ...

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly a house can be dramatically transformed with a little paint and Professional Staging.

So why were we there? We were called in by the seller's agent because the house has been on the market fo...

If you have been watching "America's Got Talent" over the past few weeks, then you know who Prince Poppycock is and if you watched the final performances you will also know that he got buzzed with a big, fat "X" from one of the judges. Love him or hate him, he made it to the final. He had some ap...

 Ok, I have seen Motivational Monday and Wordless Wednesday, (just thought of Thankful Thursday but searched Active Rain and found that group)...so I thought...why not Faithful Friday?? I was sitting at my computer, wondering what to post tonight ( I am on day 9 of "30 post in 30 days") There are...

 Did you know that a rain cloud could be 2,500 miles long? Well, an Active Rain Cloud can be! It's after 10pm, last Friday night, I'm in Walmart picking up a few things after watching a drive in movie at my kid's school. My cell phone rings and it is a long distance number I do not recognize. I'm...
