Changing Places . . . Monday, March 21, 2016. Stations of the Cross for Caregivers • SECOND STATION. JESUS TAKES UP THE CROSS. Credit to Dam de Nogales. After the soldiers beat Jesus and mocked and reviled him, they compelled him to carry a cross to the site of his execution. A reading from the Gospel of John 19:17. So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha*. In your Name and for your sake we pray. Stati...

Changing Places . . .: Postcards - the importance of communication
http://ljbj-changingplaces.blogspot.com/2013/04/postcards-importance-of-communication.html
Changing Places . . . Saturday, April 20, 2013. Postcards - the importance of communication. A rectangular piece of thick paper or thin cardboard, typically having a photograph or other illustration on one side, intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. The end result- priceless! Wikipedia tells us that "The first American postcard was developed in 1873 by the Morgan Envelope Factory of Springfield, Massachusetts." Today we see them everywhere. The message was he's thinking about me. It's not...

Changing Places . . .: What is that? (Τι είναι αυτό?)
http://ljbj-changingplaces.blogspot.com/2016/03/what-is-that.html
Changing Places . . . Sunday, March 13, 2016. Last week, mom was wearing a pair of light blue denim jeans. They were very worn. In fact, they had a hole in the right knee. Not sure how it got there, but she focused on it, complaining that 'all of her clothes were destroyed.'. Then for the next several hours, as we sat in the living room reading and watching TV:. Me: "A patch covering the hole in your jeans.". Mom: "How did this get here? Me: " I put it there. I mended your pants.". Later that evening I w...

Changing Places . . . Sunday, May 19, 2013. A Book Binder . she is not! I love books. We love books. Our whole family enjoys reading! Real books: the ones you cradle in your hands and spend hours with, getting lost in a story - fiction or non-fiction. My mother enjoys reading. Note the stack of library books next to her. I own a lot of books. When we moved my mother in with us, we also brought out several boxes of books. However, today was the exception! Pages from the now destroyed book. I simply retrea...

Changing Places . . . Tuesday, March 22, 2016. Stations of the Cross for Caregivers • THIRD STATION. THE THIRD STATION • JESUS FALLS. Credit to Dam de Nogales. Tradition tells us that Jesus stumbles and falls on his walk to the cross. His physical being has become overburdened and he falls to the ground under the weight of the cross. Why must we assume a positive attitude and put on a happy face to those who inquire about our well being? Remind us Lord, that we have no super powers, that we are human, th...

http://ljbj-changingplaces.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Changing Places . . . Sunday, March 17, 2013. Expressing concern in the 21st century. My Papa's journey of life was near its end. He had lived his life to the fullest - his way. Although he called himself timid, he never shied away from an opportunity to be the center of attention. He stood out in a crowd, often wearing a crisp white shirt, a colorful (yet dignified) bow tie, and a cummerbund with his black polyester slacks. He was nothing if not unique. Remember. God loves you the way you are.'. Just tw...
