God has promised to be with us always, but often in the clutter of our lives, we disconnect from him, as when a prolonged cell phone conversation is abruptly cut off (in older cell phones) after twenty minutes. In this case, we simply dial again to reconnect, but how can we re-dial with God? One suggestion is to take one event, one person, one of the day's many happenings or exchange of e-mails, and reflect on it. If we try to reflect on many, we get lost and remain disconnected, but focusing on just ONE, works. How did this event come to be, was it a surprise, or something planned? If it concerned a person, did it bring you closer to him or her? Was God trying to say something to you through it? Were you instrumental in bringing a smile, hope, or encouragement to that person? When we take a good, deep look at a single event, we come to see it as a blessing, and naturally want to give thanks for it. And thus, we find that the Lord truly has been with us all the time as he has promised.

We are leaving for the March for Life in Washington at 5 am on Thursday...I may not have time to post a slice of bread until Sunday, January 27th. Pray in solidarity with the thousands who'll be marching and praying for a greater respect for life at all stages of it. Thank you.
