The alt title of this post is The Best Cinnamon Rolls I've Ever Made. When I was in second grade I borrowed a book from our public school library and proceeded to, when my mom was out of the house, make a loaf of bread.

Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 21: Focus
First I ask your prayers for a special intention. This post's alt title is OUCH Because that chapter in Elizabeth Scalia's Little Sins Mean a Lot: Kicking our bad Habits Before They Kick Us I got halfway through before the beginning of Mass last night smarted.

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it.

Experiencing Lent
In a way this Lent is lived wildly differently than recent Lents. The giving up is physical, emotional, and spiritual, freeing, and very Easter like. The physical/emotional giving up has to do with the purge of moving. I can assure you that this purge isn't easy as it is big one examination of conscience, a … Continue reading Experiencing Lent
