Three Minute Retreat Isaiah 49:6 - I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. Spirit of God, move through me. Help me to use my gifts in cooperation with God’s plan of salvation. So, I'm not frustrated, but had this (probably once again) epiphany of … Continue reading Frustration redux

I know what he meant now
Did you ever have an experience where you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news? I remember with great clarity the moment my parents, who were just nearing 30, had to tell us that Grampa died. The rain was coming down so very hard that we couldn't see much beyond the door. … Continue reading I know what he meant now
Conversations about Faith
Sometimes as I sit to write the words flow freely from my heart and mind to the keyboard, onto this page. I have an idea of where to go, not so much a clear path to get there. Occasionally the where I think this is going, and where I end up are incredibly different. … Continue reading Conversations about Faith
Sharing a couple of blogs
Like a lot of people I subscribe to some blogs either in the WordPress Reader or via email, sometimes both. Somehow I've subscribed twice to one blog, which still has me puzzled. One day I'll deal with it, but not today. Beauty Beyond Bones posted Like a Woman Scorned. I may not have had a … Continue reading Sharing a couple of blogs
I thought I lost the words
I didn't. I haven't even misplaced them. Like some people I can read upside down and backwards. I can write, and quilt, words backwards. This might be one of those skills that allows me to be a fairly decent quilter. (And before you say anything I'm not seeking compliments on my quilting skills, promise.) I like … Continue reading I thought I lost the words
This is the moment
"Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created" Esther 4:14 So yeah. This verse came up in my fb newsfeed recently. Once upon a time there was a magazine entitled "The Quilt Life" the premise being that quilting and life are so intertwined that we lead a Quilt Life. Each day there is … Continue reading This is the moment
Wait
Psalm 13: How long, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my … Continue reading Wait
Whirling
Spring has sprung here in NY. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTcCrq_BF7z/?taken-by=terilucas Our dogwood is blooming, the hyacinths are about done, the hydrangeas and mountain laurel are starting to leaf out, the mocking birds and robins are nesting in the dogwood and arbor respectively. I've unintentionally witnessed sparrows mating by looking out the window at just the right moment. I … Continue reading Whirling
Baking & Creativity
Like many I have more than one creative outlet. Quilting is my passion, and I like to bake. There is something about the process of baking that helps clear my head, and get ready for the next thing. I get into baking with an ability to make a wide variety of items over the course … Continue reading Baking & Creativity
Moved to Tears
We are a one car family at the moment. It's a little challenging now and again, however we gotta do what we gotta do. Today, as of the moment of this writing, is Good Friday. One car, so walking to the local parish for the celebration of the Passion of our Lord. The walk was … Continue reading Moved to Tears
