Reflections for a waiting world: A Journey Begins
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009/07/journey-begins.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. In a few short days - or, as I was reminded today, in two sleeps - my family and I will embark on the adventure of a lifetime. We are traveling to Tanzania to volunteer for three weeks in the village of Boma Ng'ombe near Mount Kilimanjaro. What will it take to break those ties? How long before we are molded by African time and tribal ways? We plan to blog. Will Africa change our hearts and our ways?

Reflections for a waiting world: Never Give Up
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009/08/never-give-up.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Monday, August 24, 2009. Sometimes in life we are blessed to witness true growth. Having coached this young lady once before many years ago, I knew that she was not one of my strongest players. During her first few games of this season, she oft shied from the approaching soccer ball or oncoming players. How often does our Lord watch us grow, slowly and steadily?

Reflections for a waiting world: August 2009

Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Special Places, Special People. Many of us have place that we keep sacred. This special space is a place where we can feel most at ease with the world; a place where we feel closest to our creator. When we bring others to share in our space we enhance the joy and peace of these surroundings by adding to the love and the memories. Monday, August 24, 2009. None the less, my approach to the game is tha...

Reflections for a waiting world: May 2009
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Sunday, May 10, 2009. Fittingly, today, we spoke about Jesus as the vine and we are all branches. Separated from Jesus, like a sprout ripped from a tree, we could not survive. Take a few minutes to reflect on the gifts given to you by your mother and mother-like women in your life. Consider the sacrifices these women made for you. Reflect on the blessing that these women have been for you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reflections for a waiting world: Little Girl, Big Lesson
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009/07/little-girl-big-lesson.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Little Girl, Big Lesson. 8220;Moss-key-toe” she said with enthusiasm, her big blue eyes framed by curly golden locks. She had the look of an angel, “I love how that word feels coming out of my mouth”. For most of us, mosquitoes are a nuisance or even a conveyor of disease. For this little one, the mere utterance of the word itself was to be reveled. Do you consider your cadence when you speak? Take a l...

Reflections for a waiting world: October 2008
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Friday, October 31, 2008. When we hear the word "saint", we are often drawn to recall people who lived in a holy and virtuous manner. How many saints can you name? Consider the saints whose names adorn a local school or your own parish. Perhaps a street near you has been named after such an exemplary person. Maybe you share your name with that of a saint. How can we translate these to our modern lives? On All Saints Day, take ...

Reflections for a waiting world: Over a Rainbow
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009/07/over-rainbow.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Tuesday, July 7, 2009. But I'm not done yet! After a minute long pause to admire a full arched rainbow, I was greeted with that response as I tried to re-engage the girls in soccer practice. This day was a rainy one, typical of our Northern Ontario weather this year. Drizzle would fizzle, the sun would peek out only to be hidden by the next cloud that would break open with a torrent of rain moments later. It was wonderful to h...

Reflections for a waiting world: The Race
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009/07/race.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. For twenty-two days each July I become a racing fan. Many mornings and every evening, the television shows beautiful mountain vistas or the narrow streets of long established villages or rows of maturing vineyards. Passing through each of these scenes the riders of the Tour de France battle the elements and each other for the precious yellow jersey. Instead I am repeated captivated by the human spirit.

Reflections for a waiting world: February 2009
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Last month, I wrote about an act on the part of the pope which was meant to restore peace, and to be seen as an act of reconciliation. Unfortunately, Benedict's good intentions resulted in a furor of press coverage about the fact that one of the four discenting bishops who had had their excommunications lifted had been quoted as denying the reality of the holocaust. For his previous denial. We seek...

Reflections for a waiting world: January 2009
http://caeligenus.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Reflections for a waiting world. Extraordinary thoughts about ordinary things. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Did you have a plan for the day when you woke up this morning? Did you plot your shopping trip? Did you prepare for what to chat with your friend about when you called? Did you strategize about what to eat and drink today? How many plans do we make each day? At the top of tomorrow's list challenge yourself to be open to God's plan for you and to savour the treasures that He has arranged. Excommunica...
