Do you need to be lifted up today?If so, here's what you can do. 

Come before the Lord with a humble heart; tell him of your dependence on him for everything you need. If you give him your heart, He will lift you up - He will exalt you and fill you with joy. God is willing to show mercy to the humble and the contrite of heart.

After you do this and feel the joy in your heart, continue to check out this website. See if there’s anything the Lord can do for you through me that will help you maintain your joy - to help you live with expectant faith, the kind of faith where the miraculous can and does happen. One of my favorite scripture passages is from John’s Gospel in Chapter 10 where Jesus says, “I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.” Just reading this verse makes me feel good! Doesn’t it you?

If I can lift you up now and inspire you to live the abundant life through the sharing of the talents and abilities the Lord has given me, I will consider myself blessed.

Check out the tabs to the left of this page and see if there’s anything I can do for you, your parish, Catholic school or organization. If I can meet a need, contact me and we’ll see what the Lord would have me do for you.

I’ve done professional lay ecclesial work as a Pastoral Associate of several Catholic parishes in north eastern Iowa after receiving a Master of Arts degree from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa.I’m now working independently with parishes and Catholic Schools to serve the Catholic Church in a broader way.

My speaking, teaching, writing and retreat work are some ways the Lord is using me to inspire others in the Lord!

God bless!
