My Friends,



I HOPE EVERYONE IS GETTING READY for:
THE BEST YEAR EVER - 2018

This has been a very long, very stressful year (2017). But by God's Grace we have made it to the last month. The house is being majorly cleaned out and downsized as I await to see, where the future takes us/me. I know God has a plan for me, I sort of know what it is and what it has been these past 34 years. Now it is time to take it to the next level and minister even more to others.

The following list of focused activities, isn't a wish list or my new year’s resolutions. No, this is a culmination of my life’s work and time already served. Now is the time to step out and begin to really make a difference in others’ lives. I have always had this (Beads of Joy Rosary Ministry) so that I can serve others by praying for them, helping lead them in prayer and help them have a deeper love like I do for Jesus, Mary and the Rosary.

I have taken so many of you from around the world on our life’s journey. Many have read about our children coming into this world and some followed my truck driving journey of 45 states praying and sharing the rosary over the road and still others of you have read the pulse of the day to day journey of Christine’s suffering right up to the day she passed away. Some of you have been here the whole time.

It’s been very difficult year for me to get the blog going again… at least with the same vigor and excitement like I had before. Please know this right now, that I am ready. The time has come to take everything to the next level.

-         I will begin to prepare “talks, yes talks” focusing on all the mysteries of the Rosary and all other aspects of the Rosary. Yes indeed, talks. I want to step-up to the plate focusing even more on the Rosary. I will be using my decades of writings, both from my blog and my journals to begin this. The time has never been right for me to begin this, I feel as though it is now.
-    I will be posting a reflection of the daily gospel every single day on this blog. As I have always done, I entwine my life’s experiences and all that I learned with my refection. I have SO MUCH to share about my life as a whole and my life NOW.
-        I will also be digging deep into my “writing files” I have so many partially written projects that I started over the past 3+ decades. It’s time for them to be finished and published. There are also well over 800 poems that I have written since 1982, that I haven’t done anything with “yet”.
-         Also in (2018) I promise you many many many many many surprises !!! I can’t say them right now. But, I will promise you this; that I will share them and point them out.

LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!

Your brother in Christ Jesus 
And His Most Blessed Mother,
