There was a moment, a really beautiful moment where a group of us were working beautifully together. It took a few years for us to learn to work together and trust one another, but when it happened, oh it was beautiful. It was hard at moments as we had moments that were hard, things were … Continue reading Of Parties and Food

A Season
Ecclesiastes 3: There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a … Continue reading A Season
Deeper Peace
I spent a whole lot of Saturday in the sewing room working on a couple of projects. I fiddled around with a small piece for 1000 Postcards for Peace. Once I find the envelopes I need this, and two other pieces will go in the mail. There is something beautiful that comes from the making … Continue reading Deeper Peace
Prayer, and Praise
There are two thoughts vying for attention while trying to write this morning. One thought popped into my head when I saw a photo of double rainbow on a lake. It's so pretty. The group my Sweetie and I worked with required that we go on a prayer day once a month. This one night … Continue reading Prayer, and Praise

After writing Frustration Redux I got to thinking about the line "buy the lie", and living an authentically faith-filled life. "Fake it till ya make it" and "stay positive" are popular sayings in our current culture, and we have a princess telling us to "Let it go!" When lo! and behold! Why rejection hurts so … Continue reading authentic
Frustration redux
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
Perhaps you’re thirsty
Today is the Feast of Pentecost, where the breath, the wind of the Holy Spirit. Today we sing Veni, Sancte Spiritus: Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from your celestial home Shed a ray of light divine! Come, Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store! Come, within our bosoms shine. You, of comforters … Continue reading Perhaps you’re thirsty
Define, Refine
I'm sitting in my living room trying to write this blog post for the third, maybe fourth, time. A Quilter's Heart is akin to the prayer journals that I once kept daily. I miss that time with God, handing all of those big, and little things that filled my heart with joy, with love, with tenderness, … Continue reading Define, Refine
