Mind the Gap →
Thanks to jet lag, time zone differences and fuel from tough goodbyes to loved ones, I’m prompted to post something that will never seem to end for anyone who is/was in a long distance relationship.
So here we grow again →
So, I’m back.
I know I’ve said that before, many a times. But this is different. It feels different.
I think all the changes throughout the years to my old site, was sort of just within the…

We’re still here →
It’s been awhile. But these munchkins have taken up a lot of my time.
We’re still here. Just living life offline.

Day 40: Cardio →
Today will conclude 40 days. The journey has come to an end today, and I have to take this day to step back and look at the bigger picture of the journey travelled so far.
I feel more aware, and if…
Day 39: Process →
“…suffering is glory in the making.”
Alongside all the emotions I usually go through during Good Friday, this small part of a sentence during the homily stuck out to me for some reason. I’m…
Day 38: Human →
Quite the busy day Jesus had before He died.
He washed the feet of his followers, giving them an example of how to continue the work He began and how we should all serve one another. And lastly, He…
Day 37: Dig →
Not much words at this point of the Lenten Challenge. I think I’m coming to the point of slowing down on the output process, to just focus on the moments that are the cornerstone of my faith. I…
Day 36: Push →
Now that this Lenten Journey is coming to a close, and the Easter Triduum is only a few days away, it’s been hard not to think about anything else then Jesus’ anguish during this whole ordeal of…
Day 34: Constellations →
Today, our little family went to the Children’s Museum, for a much needed day of family shenanigans.
There was a little exhibit there that Audrey and I had a chance to enjoy, and it was a mini…
Day 32: Jump →
Today at confession, the priest reminded me of something that I forgot. That all in all, I’m a good person.
It’s easy to forget when you spend the 30 minutes before that moment really mulling out…
Day 30: Cheers →
Cheers to my teammate who watches my back, and keeps me focused on the goal. Cheers to my best friend, who always makes sure I’m doing well. Cheers to my financial planner, who’s always…
Day 29: Surface →
So this whole Lenten Reflection thing, got me reflecting about reflecting. No really. As I was praying about what to post, I was thinking “Why do we even use the word reflection when it comes to…
Day 27: Burden →
Many are the troubles of the just, but the LORD delivers from them all.
Psalm 34:20
It will always, and forever will be an inconvenience to do what is right. But I can’t say I believe in…
Day 26: Coach →
It seems sometimes that God is a real tough cookie. That He sets the bar so high that in our weakest moments it seems as if they are unrealistic.
Luckily, God isn’t that over-bearing coach who…
Day 24: Paraphrase →
“You better check yo self, before you wreck yo self”
Ice Cube
or maybe…
You do it to yourself, you do And that’s what really hurts Is that you do it to yourself Just you, you and no…
Day 22: Blind →
Suffering can blind us, but at the same time, it can give us a deeper vision of life.
Bill Donaghy
If there’s one thing I’ve come to appreciate from my faith journey is the acceptance of…
Day 20: Plan →
To be quite honest, this intense relationship I have with God was never in my life plan.
I think a lot of crap happens along the way of trying to make your dreams real. But luckily I was…
Day 19: Parallel →
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the future. More specifically the future of my kids.
I pray that when it’s time for them to make the tough choices in life, that they are grounded in who they…

Day 18: Instant →
I always get overwhelmed how fast God is to forgive me, but how slow I am in asking for forgiveness.
I spend days and months of trying to cope with guilt, regret and worry. I’m always taken back…
Day 17: Truth →
But he passed through the midst of them and went away
Luke 4:30
This the last line of the gospel for today. To sum up everything before this, Jesus basically walked into town and pissed…
Day 15: Greatness →
I know I’m destined for greatness. We all are!
But maybe I have a hard time recognizing this potential because my expectations are usually born out of a storybook imagination as opposed to a…
Day 13: Grind →
“Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?”
Matthew 20:22
This is one of the few times in the Gospel were Jesus was talking behind code a little bit. He was essentially saying “I’m…

Day 10: Recess →
It’s interesting that during Lent, it seems that we get days off. Sundays are those days where we don’t have to fast and abstain. Now some would take this day and simply pig out and gorge on…
Day 9: Try →
I’m actually blank as I begin typing this entry. And maybe God is trying to tell me something through this writer’s block. Stay faithful, even when you have nothing . The commitment I made to…
Day 7: Honesty →
My last entry sparked what I’ll be writing typing about for this one, and it was further fueled by a reflection from another blogging veteran who has taken the Lenten Challenge alongside…

Day 6: Genuine →
Jesus, being the honest and straight-forward guy that He is, says this in the gospel today
In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many…

Day 4: Inertia →
Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth. Psalm 86:11 I think the hard part of following God, or trying to “walk in truth,” is that I really don’t want to follow. At least…

Day 3: Obvious →
It’s funny how Lent seems almost like New Year’s. If I’ve been slacking with my spiritual life, LENT comes around and somehow motivates me to do better, and to think of new resolutions to try and…
Day 1: Basic →
FOREWORD:
In an effort to utilize my time more productively for Lent 2011, I’ve decided to post a reflection a day, no matter how short. So this is entry Number 1. Wish me luck. Or better yet,…

On this date 10 years ago, I embarked on a commitment. It was to give the best years of my life to God. To somehow “repay” Him for giving me a new start in life. A second chance to tackle life…
