Are You There, Empire State Building? It’s me, Maya.

I did not know…

Thank you, Maya…

IMG_8478-0Dear Empire State Building,

About a year ago, a formal application was sent in on behalf of The Ronan Thompson Foundation requesting that one night be lit up Gold to bring awareness to all types of childhood cancer. You see, my son Ronan, died just shy of his 4th birthday from Neuroblastoma, which is one of the deadliest forms of childhood cancer out there. The awareness color for Neuroblastoma is Purple and also just happened to be Ronan’s favorite color. When I filled out the application, it didn’t even cross my mind to ask the Empire State Building to be lit up Purple in honor of my son or any other child out there who had died from this particular form of cancer. I instantly wrote down Gold because it represented ALL 46 children who are diagnosed each day and ALL 7 of them who will die from this disease…

the Student’s notes: The Good man, part one

Too good to not share with you all!

I personally battle with the Good Man as well, not for the sake of coexistence, no, for me it is due to fear of yelling, due to fear of violence.
Thanks a lot family of origin 😉
But I guess I should remember, that he did not come to bring peace, but rather division 😉

God Bless

I am a third order member, or Companion, of the Heralds of the Gospel. It’s a pontifical order, and quite new, considering the church is 2000 years old. We’re barely into our teens, though we trace our roots back long before that (I guess you could say we get that pattern from the big guy, after all Jesus came after John the Baptist). The fourth Friday of each month we have formation on our faith. The topics are varied, and come from numerous sources. In the posts like this one (you’ll know them as the titles will always contain the starting phrase the student ‘s notes), I will put down my notes and thoughts on the.

I will always remind you of my disclaimer. I am the student, not the expert. If you find something that is not quite right, please let me know and much more importantly – check…

“I’m Thinking of Having an Affair”

The sins of the flesh are some of the most rampant. How can they not? Everywhere we look we are tempted. Everywhere we look we are being told that it is ok to cheat, to upgrade, to give in to desire, to do what makes us happy – even at the expense of others. Society reinforces the “upgrade” in all things, cars, phones, and even partners. We Deserve It!
I share this with you hoping that it will help.
God Bless †

There are countless women – yes, even many Christian women – right now who are being tempted by powerful romantic feelings, admiration and infatuation toward men who aren’t their husbands. When a wife is feeling unloved, lonely, isolated, depressed, sad, disconnected, ignored, resentful, unforgiving, or sinned against in her marriage – this temptation can seem like sunlight breaking through the dark months or years of storm clouds.

It is VERY EASY to give in to the desire to feel attractive, desired, loved, protected, cherished and adored by another man. It can seem at first like the cost will be worth it – just like a fish thinks the juicy worm on a hook is a gift straight from heaven – for awhile.

“REASONS WHY I MIGHT THINK ADULTERY IS OK IN MY CASE”

  • “My husband is being or was unfaithful to me.”
  • “My husband doesn’t meet my needs.”
  • “I feel lonely.”
