Walks

It's been a blessing for me and my daughter, Liz, to take our dogs for long walks by the ocean cliffs and adjacent areas.
I heard today that the humpbacks whales have finally arrived. I can't wait to view them on our next walk!

Heavenly Hilo Clouds

As I drove back and forth into Hilo to get the right door handle for our house, I had plenty of opportunity to gaze heavenward at the beautiful and magnificent clouds of Hilo. Its simply amazing to gaze and pray with the beauty and majesty of God so evident!

Lead Thou Me On

It was almost cold enough last evening for snow, as I glanced out the office entrance before leaving work yesterday.
I'll be going soon to Hawaii. I'm excited to be returning to my wife and family.
But You, Lord, are my true guide and destination.
You live everywhere, especially where you are worshipped and honored.
I love You. Lead me on to where you will!

Now That's a Picture!

It's amazing what technology can do! It's almost like a Hawaiian rainbow!
I was so deeply honored to receive this recognition on Saturday night for all of the accomplishments that occurred at DeLaSalle while I was director. I was also honored that several of my dear colleagues could join me for this event. What a blessing!

Aaron

This Thursday, November 11, is the eighth anniversary of the death of our son, Aaron. To remember him and to offer others the blessing of forgiveness and healing when we suffer tragic loss, the Fifth Annual Mass for Forgiveness and Healing will be held this Thursday at 6:00 pm at St. Louis Church in Kansas City. Bishop Rober Finn will celebrate Holy Mass and give a special blessing afterwards to all in attendance. Please join us if you can.
This picture memorializes the vision Karol received when we were viewing Aaron's body just after his death when he was laying on a gurney in a hospital operating room. Karol said that it was like a great light appeared over Aaron's body and he was in the arms of Jesus.
Ever since, I have grown in my faith and in my love of Our Lord and His mercy and healing, the Lord who reached beyond time and space to hold my dying son in his loving arms.

Art on a Fence

I sometimes walk by DeLaSalle from the house where I live when I am in Kansas City. I've been here for five weeks and it will be another two weeks before I am able to return to Hawaii to see Karol and our family.
While Hawaii is scenic, how can you compare it to the eclectic beauty of something so unique as DeLaSalle's Art on a Fence project?
