Happy Mother’s Day!

A big thanks and a ton of prayers for all of our mothers today- biological, spiritual, and however else you’ve come to know these amazing women who show us God’s unconditional love, grace, and beauty each day. Thanks Mom!

Stella Maris – Mary Star of the Sea

As we get ready for Mothers Day I was prepping a LifeNight for my parish and came across this awesome icon of Stella Maris – Mary Star of the Sea. Having grown up in a Navy family and always living near the ocean, Stella Maris has taken on a special meaning for me as she has for countless sailors and mariners who spend time on the water longing to be back home with their mothers (which is every sailor at some point). This icon was done by Deacon Lawrence Kilmecki and he seems like a pretty rad guy. Check him out here.  Mary Star of the Sea, pray for us!

Bishop Emeritus John D’Arcy

Popple has had the pleasure of serving with Bishop D’Arcy at many events and as a member of his diocese, I have bumped into him while out for a walk, enjoyed him as a guest speaker at our Bible study, celebrated many Masses with him, and was Confirmed by him. He is a friend of the family and a holy man.

Praying for him especially during this time.

Restored – A Powerful Video

We had the opportunity to entertain and speak at a few Steubenville Conferences this summer and this video was used. It was done by my brother, Cory Heimann, of Likable Art and is a great illustration of the power of Confession. Check it:
