July 23–Paulie Waulie Doodle could use your prayers

Want to know what I love about having Paul along? We sing songs together. All the time. Sometimes we play a game called, “Sing as much of a Broadway Musical together that we can remember.” Which entails us starting at the first song and getting as far as we can. We switch parts and doContinueContinue reading “July 23–Paulie Waulie Doodle could use your prayers”

July 22-Pray for my girl Jess

I probably wouldn’t have made it without this one. This is Jessica. She is a coworker of mine, soft-spoken and sweet. One day we were working and I started talking about this trip I was going to take in summer of 2013 to the Camino de Santiago. “Here,” I said, “I’ll forward you my groupContinueContinue reading “July 22-Pray for my girl Jess”

July 21–Prayers for beebee Graham-slam

This is Graham. My sibs met him playing soccer, and then we realized he was a neighbor and they became closer friends. Sometimes he talks smack to me, but I know he’s kidding. If he ever finds an animal, he tries to rescue it. Squirrels, birds, you name it…he’s picked it up (rabies, man!) andContinueContinue reading “July 21–Prayers for beebee Graham-slam”

July 20–Pray for Car-lay

This gorgeous girl is a grace to have along. Not only is she good at Spanish, a force to be reckoned with generally, supportive, beautiful, and graceful…she’s also an expert on chocolate chip cookies. Such things are vital on excursions. This pilgrim goes to school with some of the kidz in the group. We knewContinueContinue reading “July 20–Pray for Car-lay”

So I ran across my Guardian Angel today

Another update from the Camino de Santiago…I felt like it must happen. Today we were slated to walk only a short distance–18 km. I woke up early, just after 5 a.m., and I packed my bags in the hall of our hostel joined by my sister and Bob. Around 5:30 Christine and I hit theContinueContinue reading “So I ran across my Guardian Angel today”

July 19–Prayers for my son, Matt

Once I went to a dance and the friend I was with, Sam, said, “Do you see that guy over there? He’s becoming Catholic.” So the friend introduced us and I was like, “HI. I LOVE BEING CATHOLIC. DO YOU WANT TO GO ON A NEW YEAR’S RETREAT WITH ME? There will be dancing.” AndContinueContinue reading “July 19–Prayers for my son, Matt”

July 18–Pray for Marcus. And Fr. Simon.

I think you were technically supposed to pray for Fr. Simon today. But now it’s BONUS DAY! Two pilgrims for the price of one! Please pray for MARCUS! This guy is actually walking the full 800 km. Whew! He joins us from Canada. Oh, and he’s a seminarian (sorry, ladies) so he could use allContinueContinue reading “July 18–Pray for Marcus. And Fr. Simon.”
