The Gospel of Luke is a fascinating read and study. At my Parish there is a class on Luke with a guy who has a Masters in Scripture study and learned Greek to understand the writing better. I've read Sacred Scripture almost my whole life and remain in awe of how much is there. Over … Continue reading Make Me or Change my Heart O God

Happy New Year 2023: Tenacity & 2024: Play
Happy New Year! It is the first Sunday of Advent and for us as Catholics it is a good time to begin again. There are several times during the calendar year that have a rhythm of beginning again.

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
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.

In Between
"Jesus, I give you permission to interrupt my self defeating, God dethroning self talk. Amen." I found that quote somewhere, dropped it in here and thought, "I'll know both where it was from and what to share when I get back." It is Lent. I almost don't need to say more. Except that during Lent … Continue reading In Between
Oasis
While hauling around suitcases this week one of them jammed into my big toe, it's fine, it'll be fine. Central Texas got a little rain this week. As a general rule when I go for the mail I step on the berm adjacent to our front door, cross the street and walk to the mailbox. … Continue reading Oasis
Dignity, Vocation and a deeper understanding
On the wall in my living room is a framed poster of St. John Paul II, there are tickets to the Mass in Central Park and a t-shirt from being "ushers" in Yonkers. In the cabinet is a bottle of water blessed by him at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers. My husband saw the helicopter … Continue reading Dignity, Vocation and a deeper understanding

This has helped me hone my prayer life in … Continue reading In Some Ways
