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
Examining
The last few days I've had the phrase, "help me feel compassion for you" running through my head. Today, Good Friday, is a great day to dig deeply through the crap that sometimes fills my soul and examine that. The selfish, self-righteous, if only you'd listen to me the world would be perfect, I'm way … Continue reading Examining
So, we’ve been told
Beauty is only skin deep. So we've been told. So we're told. Yes, that's an intentional rephrase. While at lunch I perused facebook on my phone and was stopped cold seeing an image of a sweet, long-haired little girl, sitting cross-legged, wielding a pair of shears, poised to cut the "bulge" from her belly. The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
Memories
Over the weekend one of the readings was on the Spiritual Gifts. How we're all part of the same group (the same body), and yet we're different, and we have different functions (jobs). There are so many things that flit through my head as I think about the gifts. And today I'm going to look … Continue reading Memories
Christmas
Merry Christmas dear ones. Thoughts of Christmas and this Season whirl around in my head, like snowflakes in a light wind. Frittering to and fro before landing and becoming part of the overall landscape of things. Thoughts of Mary giving birth to her only child in a barn, and laying him in a manger filled … Continue reading Christmas
Littleness
After months of slowly reading, savoring, I've finished reading The Ragamuffin Gospel. Brennan has a heart of littleness that the Saints have. A heart that clings to the gift of God's infinite LoveGraceMercyCompassionPeace. A heart transformed, a heart understanding of the Gift of this love, understanding deeply and profoundly how living in this LoveGraceMercyCompassionPeace offers … Continue reading Littleness
Trust and Hope
My sweetie and I generally go to the 7 PM Mass on Sunday at one of the local parishes. We do our best to get to Church about 1/2 an hour early for some quiet time and prayer, to enter into the moment of the Mass, when Jesus becomes real and Present, where we … Continue reading Trust and Hope
