Sometime over the last year or so Theology is a Verb showed up somewhere on social media, enticing me to follow. When Elizabeth shared Unfulfilled Potential the first time I thought this is cool. On/off over the last bit she's been re-sharing posts as Worth Revisiting. Recently I read Unfulfilled Potential I experienced one of … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayers for Quilters Day ?

On Free-Will
Vincent van Gogh makes an appearance on Dr. Who in an episode where he sees an alien (one who we find out later is trapped, separated and afraid) wreaking havoc in a town, when even the Doctor doesn't see without some special manipulation of mirrors. van Gogh also sees Amy's deep sadness when she doesn't … Continue reading On Free-Will
True Love
My heart is in Texas. I miss my heart, my Sweetie. While we are, at this moment, far apart the consolation of our togetherness in the Sacrament of Matrimony gives me great comfort. While we are apart from one another the longing grows deeper. We pray for one another each day for growth in holiness, … Continue reading True Love
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
In Answer to Prayer
https://twitter.com/Joeinblack/status/1231179922191847424 One of the thoughts I picked up when working with a friend is, "God writes straight with crooked lines." While thinking about this an image of mountain switchbacks popped into my head. And because of that an image of quilted ribbon candy. Then I thought I'd like to start out every single story with, … Continue reading In Answer to Prayer
Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 16
Have you ever lost something in your sewing room/studio when you'd just put it down? I designed a paper pieced quilt that needs to be shipped soon. After selecting fabrics, I cut the pattern apart, (without making a master) and started piecing the flying geese. The attempt at keeping the in order was thwarted by … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 16
Happy New Year
New year happens differently for each of us, in unique ways. September always feels like the beginning of the new year because a new school year begins, and our Jewish brothers and sisters celebrate then. Late October feels like the beginning of the new year because Fall Quilt Market and new commitments that happen there, … Continue reading Happy New Year
Prayer, Conversation & Quilting
Sometime before my Sweetie and I married I had deep dad-daughter conversation that's stuck with me all this time. He was apologizing for all the hard stuff that'd happened in our lives and home and that he wished it hadn't happened. I told him at the time that those experiences made me who I am, … Continue reading Prayer, Conversation & Quilting
Listening In
Tuesday's readings are fascinating. First up Jonah preaches to Nineveh, letting them know that their city will be destroyed in forty days should they choose to continue in their wickedness. Word gets back to the king who repents, then declares fasting and repentance for the whole city. Wow. it's stuck with me all week as … Continue reading Listening In

Today is the Feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, Doctor of the Church. She is my Patron Saint, I love her Little Way, which is doing the little things with great love. I don't know about you but sometimes I can't see beyond the nose of my face … Continue reading Opportunity Offered
