Intertwined A long time ago, in a far away place we went on prayer days once a month as a general rule. These were, at first, part of our agreement with the ministry we were serving with. When we left that ministry and entered into service with another we kept that as part of our … Continue reading A Different Perspective

Living the Quirky Quilt Life
On Retreat
I'm sitting at the kitchen island this morning with loads of faith and quilterly thoughts. I get to see the sunrise in some way this morning and I do love a good sunrise and sunset, each one unique and experienced differently by each person, a different perspective, and a different location.

Time
An earworm of a Rich Mullins tune is stuck in my head "we're stuck in time" is right there, not quite hearing it, so not quite sure of the song title and the rest of the lyrics. It'll come when I'm least thinking about it, some time after this post is published. Ascension Press Bible … Continue reading Time
Chocolate Cake
The room, once a cafeteria filled with the smells of good food, and the laughter and conversation of people from all over the area on a spiritual pilgrimage, now filled with the books and other items too long on the gift shop shelves.

If I'm uncertain of a term or phrase used I'll ask, because the … Continue reading The Deep End and Defining Terms

Changing Prayer
If there is one person in Catholic circles I'd love to interview right now Elizabeth Scalia would be that person. Lest this seem a total fangirl post it is and it's not for when someone writes about themselves presenting the dumbass things they do it would be her. I can be a bit of a … Continue reading Changing Prayer
