Story of the Week, December 4, 2009, Angels in the Store

We certainly want to do God’s will, but many times we are not exactly sure what that is! We’re clear about the Ten Commandments and other rules of good conduct. But what if we’re making a decision about a move or a job? Perhaps it is simply our desire that is important. If we are [...]


Story of the Week, November 19, Near Miss

Hello, angel lovers. During this special time of year, TV and Hollywood seem to suspend the usual crime and violence and concentrate on heartwarming programs, both the old favorites and new G-rated entries which may turn out to be classics.  The problem is remembering when such fare appears, and gathering the family together to watch [...]


Story of the Week, November 6, 2009, Pool Party

Originally published 2008 in WorldNetDaily, but I thought you’d appreciate it. A Florida mother experienced what she is calling a miracle when her young daughter was presumed drowned in a pool, and three strangers brought the girl back to life. Meagan Durocher, who will turn two later this month, fell into a pool at Bristol [...]


Story of the Week, Oct 22, 2009, Brilliant Blue

Hello, angel lovers.  Just a few announcements today and an extra blog (I blog occasionally for Guideposts.com). —I know you like to be aware of good resources.  I’ve got friends, a married couple, who would be great to have on your list.  Bob and Cheryl Moeller are primarily marriage experts (parents of 6 and a [...]


Story of the Week, October 9 2009, Surprise from Heaven

Hello, angel friends.  I am happy to announcement the publication of my latest book, MOMS GO WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD.  Nope, it’s not really an angel book despite the title.  It’s a book of (hopefully) humorous essays on mothering (along with a prayer now and then.)  My editor felt that much of today’s humor [...]


Story of the Week, September 23 2009, Terror by Train

Hello, angel lovers.  Let us not forget that September 29th is the Feast of the Archangels, on the Catholic calendar.  And the entire month of October is devoted to guardian angels.  Remember to say “Thank you” to them as we go about our daily rounds.  More on this next time. The Cayces want to thank [...]


Story of the Week, September 11, 2009 Remembering

—All through this day, 9/11/09, I have tried to come up with a theme for our angel newsletter due today.  It’s been difficult. —I had the honor and privilege of being able to interview the last survivor of the World Trade Center bombing, whose story ultimately appeared in my book, IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS.  [...]


Story of the Week, August 28, 2009, Keeping Watch

Hello, angels.  Just wanted to update you on the little boy, Isaac Frank, who you all prayed for after he was seriously burned in an accident this summer.  Isaac’s story will appear in their diocesan newspaper this week, written by his mom and grandmom, and if you could see a recent photo of him, even [...]


Story of the Week, August 15 2009 We Know How she Felt

Hello, friends.  Just a few announcements, as usual: —August 22nd is the 16th annual Be An Angel Day, celebrated throughout North America and several other countries.  The day encourages us to give thanks for angels by imitating them.  That is, doing acts of kindness, and helping others (anonymously if that’s possible—just like angels often do!) [...]


Story of the Week, July 31, 2009, Angel in the Army

Dennis Fredrickson of Culver City, California, was drafted into the military during the Vietnam War, and like many servicemen and women, he believes in small miracles. When you’ve come that close to death, veterans say, it’s easy to recognize the hand of God. In fact, Dennis believes that the first miracle he received during this [...]
