A Wonderful Advent Devotion:Messages of Joy

I am really enjoying these brief daily Advent devotions and I think you will as well. The rich yet uncomplicated daily reflections in Messages of Joy for Advent and Christmas 2020 will guide you from the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany. With practical, everyday wisdom, Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran will help you pray for the gift of joy and prepare your heart and soul for the gift of Christ’s birth.


Another fun Novel from Brad Thor: Spy Master

This is another nail-biter from Thor. Across Europe, a secret organization has begun attacking diplomats. Back in the United States, a foreign ally demands the identity of a highly placed covert asset. In the balance hang the ingredients for all-out war. With his mentor out of the game, counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath must take on the role he has spent his career avoiding. But, as with everything else he does, he intends to rewrite the rules—all of them.


My Favorite Christmas Song this Year: I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Echosmith

I absolutely cannot stop listening to this song by Echosmith. I’ve heard this classic carol hundreds of times, but this sounds fresh. I think you will enjoy it!


A Helpful Ointment for Fellow Dry Sin Sufferers: Icy/Hot

This is the only ointment that gives me daytime relief and a break from my shoulder pain. I almost didn’t try it because of Shaq’s bad commercial endorsing it, but I tried it during my recent trip to Mexico, and it really helped!


A Quote from Richard Rohr

“Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. In fact, God loves you so that you can change. What empowers change, what makes you desirous of change is the experience of love. It is that inherent experience of love that becomes the engine of change.”
