Tonight at Mass the Priest made a reference to sewing. He needed to sew a button on a shirt, and the ability to thread the eye of the needle to be frustratingly hard. He managed to, and secured the button on his shirt. He related this experience to the Readings of the day, speaking of … Continue reading I’m not that bad…am I?

If you want to make God laugh
tell Him your plans. Sometimes God says, "No, I know the plans I have for you, and quite frankly this isn't it" or "Maybe, but not today" or "I have something better in mind, Trust Me" or "I love you". When I started writing this post it was a full on whine because over the … Continue reading If you want to make God laugh
Peaceful
You all know that "Oceans" speaks to my heart deeply, in looking back there are at least 6 posts with the song as the basis. It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful
Where are you leading?
I read this post by Mary deTurris Poust on her blog Not Strictly Spiritual Friday. Something deeply resonated in my heart, particularly after something I said earlier that morning. In some way I wanted to be part of something, a particular group of people. In an effort to not be whiny I'll leave it at that. Mary's … Continue reading Where are you leading?

Craftsmanship
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam. SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the … Continue reading Craftsmanship
Supply and Demand
Earlier this year I got a new phone. I needed one with more memory as the older one "lost" memory when I had to do a hard reset. I was constantly clearing cache, removing apps, trying to turn off built-in apps. So I purchased a new phone, with more memory giving me room for regular … Continue reading Supply and Demand
Bitter? I think not…
Where did we leave off? Oh yeah, I remember now...I was sharing with you how looking deeper changed my perception of Naomi and Ruth. A couple of friends and I are participating in an on-line Bible Study together. We're following along with the emails and video's and then talking to one another. I have a … Continue reading Bitter?

Refining, not Defining
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idA6fCAHVzs There's a new show that I love titled Forged. Have you seen it? It's all about forging blades. The first part of the competition the type of blade is announced, materials shown, and design time given. Each of the contestants are given 15 minutes of design time, then two hours to make the blade. Contestants … Continue reading Refining, not Defining
Wonderment
A couple of weeks ago I suggested to a couple of friends that we study the book of Job. We each have life experiences that are, without a doubt, very challenging at the moment. We decided to go with 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit through Proverbs 31 Ministries, studying the book of and … Continue reading Wonderment
