Living the Quirky Quilt Life
Laughter
St Kateri Tekakwitha Shrine near OKC OK Have you ever laughed, that full on, joy filled belly laugh while in prayer. I am currently giggling because of where I was when this happened, in the back pew of the Church. For several weeks prior to the first Spiritual Direction formation weekend the words for a … Continue reading Laughter
In Honor of Orange
Years ago Rich Mullins wrote The Color Green. One of the the things I love about marathon quilting is, even though the Lord of the Rings extended dvd's are playing in the background. As I quilt there is sometimes a silence that comes. A place, state of being where the rhythm of quilting and the … Continue reading In Honor of Orange
Over the Weekend
Between now and Saturday morning I need to prepare to share my current prayer practices. The practice of prayer waxes and wanes like the moon, there are times of great joy and beauty quite like a lunar eclipse. And there are times of dryness quite like this last summer here in Texas, it was HOT … Continue reading Over the Weekend
Prayer: Our Deepest Longing Review & More
Getting to the end of a book that I'm enjoying is difficult because in someway there is a sense of a friend moving on to a different place.

Flipping the Script – Noticing
This weekends Gospel is Matthew 18: 21-35 in which we hear the parable of forgiveness, debt and the need to both assess what's owed. I am however getting ahead of this. Peter is by far one of my favorite people, he asks the best questions, and this is by far one of the best, and … Continue reading Flipping the Script – Noticing
Looking: Still Waters run Deep
"Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" is one of the taglines I've had over on TerifiCreations. I had this for a while because indeed it is. Often as quilters progress through sewing they often land in the world of quilting and stay there. I landed here oh so many years ago in part because … Continue reading Looking: Still Waters run Deep
Sometimes the Struggle is Real
Happy Memorial of St Ignatius!
