Can I just share something with you? Well, of course I can. https://www.facebook.com/AscensionPress/videos/10154814444400832/ I've been wondering what to write. I've been wondering what to say. So here goes...August through now has been so very hard emotionally. Working in a shop that is closing is hard work. and emotionally draining. It's like hundreds of mosquito bites … Continue reading Peace Full – Piece Full
Backwards in High Heels. I'm linking over the page where she explains why she chose the name. I'd heard the quote/story of Ginger Rogers doing everything everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards, and in high heels. Every once in a while when I was a teenager I'd watch waltzing competitions on PBS. These competitions were … Continue reading Waltzing
Sometimes God whispers, "I love you!" through a series of comments that simply affirm that teaching and writing are part of my vocation. Three little comments. Three different people. And in one a realization of something I long for that now I can adequately say. Thank You God! for these moments. For the whispers of love, … Continue reading A Moment of Gratitude
While on the bus last night the song lyrics were "fill me up Lord, fill me up Lord", my mind kept saying "empty me out Lord, empty me out Lord". I've shared with a few friends that with the shop closing, with needing to look for work, that there is a sense of being lost. … Continue reading Morning Musing
Morning earworm this week: Jesus Culture, Show me Your Glory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oIlsMoLKGA Sometimes the "I wants" present themselves in my prayer time in, what I perceive to be, a really awkward way. I don't think God really minds. On my Feast (Name) Day my sweetie sent me this quote by St. Therese of Lisieux (my patron saint) on … Continue reading Show me your Glory
As part of our anniversary celebration my sweetie and I spent the day away from home. When we're out and about on a Sunday we often find another Parish to attend through Mass Times. "read this Scripture and add your name." The Priest celebrating Mass reminded us of the practice of placing ourselves in the … Continue reading So, then he said
The inevitable question was asked, "And?" And I don't know what this more I'm becoming is. I'm not sure where I'm going. I'm not sure what I'm doing. This moment, like so many others, holds within itself a lot of uncertainty. I'm okay with that. While there are things going on here and that uncertainty … Continue reading On becoming more – a brief revisit
Here it is the beginning of September, this year has a fleeing (spelling intended) feeling about it. Yesterday was January 1 and zoom! September. This time of year is akin to the new year, school is beginning, summer is winding down, there is an energy in the air (oh that's allergies!) that gets me kind … Continue reading On becoming more
It's summer. It's been warm. The parish we attend locally doesn't have air conditioning in the main Church. I'm not complaining, just helping to set the scene. There are 6 or 8, much needed, industrial fans located around the Church to help move air when it's hot and sticky outside. We are blessed to have … Continue reading Wherein I have a hard time hearing
Tonight at Mass the Priest made a reference to sewing. He needed to sew a button on a shirt, and the ability to thread the eye of the needle to be frustratingly hard. He managed to, and secured the button on his shirt. He related this experience to the Readings of the day, speaking of … Continue reading I’m not that bad…am I?
