We brought 4 1/2 year old Luke for the first time on one of our grandpa and grandma bringing grandkids to spend time together in family time supreme trips. He is enjoying it, too!
Nancy said that seeing these two girls so close and playing with seldom an argument reminds her of her with her sisters all around her... Nancy was #2 of 4 girls. "Berna came to me at the pool and told me that she and Rose were having a tea party under water! I did that with my sisters too!"
My beautiful new daughter, Bobbi Marie Therese Verly! She has touched so many in sharing her burning answer to the often asked question; Did you ever think that you and John would get together?
After being classmates for all 13 years for them to come together 10 years after graduating is kind of special. She shared to the 300 family and friends gathered at the reception in her sweet humble way about how John Verly popped into her head and heart when they were seniors in HS as her future husband. Time and time again the same answer came to her through prayer and roses from St Therese and opening her eyes to see him right in front of her at WYD in Australia... When we consider what John experienced over those 10 years... brain cancer, seminary, girl friends, ups and downs and how disheartening it probably was and how powerful her prayers were for him!!!! Amazing!!! And how patient and trusting and prayerful and waiting and praying for John, this sweet girl was!
Archbishop is also in charge of Reverence for LIFE for the country and is boldly supporting and fighting for LIFE!!! LOVE!!!
There are strong emotions connected to the Feast of St John the Baptist Nativity as it was just a couple days into John's brain cancer journey. Now to share this day here with him and his new wife is a powerful moment and reveals to us the power of prayer we are surrounded with. Thank you, Jesus!
I must end this as we are heading to the pool until we jump in the car to head home with our hearts so full of this wonderful gift of time together! It seemed like a lot to accomplish, but it was so worth it and I am filled to overflowing with all of it... more to come!

Jesus, family is the best only after sharing our Faith with one another at your Table of LOVE and sharing The Word/Jesus in our midst!
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. John 1
We shared this yesterday at Open Table and at the site of the new monastery of the Little Brothers... "Mendicating" it by repeating each line 3 times and how powerful it was! The Spirit speaks to our hearts! "He came into the world, and the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him." Lord, I see you in my Faith/Family/Farm! Jesus, I trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
