Can be applied to anything difficult. "Never give up prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction." — St. John of the Cross

Brigid told me she had a great day yesterday – but I didn’t get a picture. Here she is a couple of months ago, carving a special pumpkin for her job at The Blaze. December 12th is also a big feast day – Our Lady of Guadalupe with the famous image on the tilma of…

UPDATE: Here’s Tim heading out to golf today. Cool. Tim is working with me and will eventually own the Company. That’s the plan.  Here he is at his STAC college graduation a year and a half ago. And Juan Diego – the “Indigenous” who had his encounter with Our Lady of Guadalupe over four days,…

This is from Westchester Magazine – Quinn was a common fixture in Westchester schools, often speaking to assembled students on the topics of ALS and adversity. Average survival rates for ALS typically range from 20 to…

We followed up our trip to the Blaze in Bethpage, going to the original Blaze, where Brigid does her carving and other work. It’s great fun when, as she did in Bethpage, Brigid points out her work. Here she is with her Croton Taurus – she is not a Taurus herself but did the carving…

As we spend time Saturday at Rinerville. Outdoors and in the garage to preserve social distancing. So Karen and Mike cleaned up and improved Brigid’s roughed out carving and here’s how it came out!
