Catholics welcomed home
The Lenten season is a time of reflection for the faithful.
For Catholics who have turned away from their faith, last Sunday was a time for them to renew it, with the help of a group of Shenango Valley priests who were led by the Rev. Donald W. Trautman, bishop of the Erie Diocese.

All have gifts to discover along ‘road to Damascus’
This past week or so, I began reading the book of Romans again.
It never ceases to amaze me how, no matter how often I’ve read through each book of the New Testament, I always seem to find new inspiration, new information, and a willingness to apply it to my daily life.

Some amazing things have been happening in my life lately. Most notably, there is new love in my life! What a wonderful surprise going into my new year!

Ex-pastor, budding life coach: Resolutions are ‘waste of time’
A burgeoning life coach from Slippery Rock looks at a New Year’s resolution as a waste of time “unless it’s something feasible.”
“It has to be something that’s in your heart,” said Linda Porter. “If it’s not in your heart, you’re not going to do it.”
For example, in wanting a new car, “you’ll do everything you can to save,” she noted. “It’s how deep your conviction is and how badly you want something.” -
What do you do daily to show your love for God?
I love when I wake up in the morning and God is saturating my heart! He’s right there, not even really deliberately, just naturally.
What a difference one day can make, too. -
