In Awe of Creation
An Everyday Stewardship Reflection for 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time 2017 When I was a teenager, one year after a Homecoming dance I took my date for a walk on the Potomac in Downtown Alexandria. The moon was out and I was struck by how the light shimmered on the water. I remember focusing to…

Stewardship & the Eucharist
An Everyday Stewardship Reflection for Feast of Corpus Christi 2017 When I was a child I can remember stopping by my parish or another local Catholic Church to just spend some time in prayer before the Holy Eucharist.

Hard to be Humble
One of the more humorous songs of my childhood was Mac Davis’ “Oh Lord It’s Hard To Be Humble”: Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way. I can’t wait to look in the mirror, cause I get better looking each day. Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble, but…

Listening for His Voice
An Everyday Stewardship Reflection for the 4th Sunday of Easter 2017 In the past year, my wireless provider introduced something called HD Voice. Suddenly, the voice I heard on my phone was unbelievably clear and it felt at times like both the caller and I were in the same room. The best aspect of this…
