Lent & Loving Deeply
I'm sipping coffee, listening to music, and thinking. When I returned to the Church twenty-seven years ago the experience was intense. From the moment of knowing Jesus in the Eucharist right through the entire Rite of Christian Initiation. The guy leading RCIA made mention more than once of my own intensity. God's grace, and life … Continue reading Lent & Loving Deeply
Superlative, a Faith in Culture Post
The other day as I packed up at the end of a shop appointment I put a couple of file folders with orders in a sample suitcase rather than in one of the two bags that I use as offices, one for each company.

There’s an old saying
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. I'm changing this nonsense: if you want to make God laugh, tell him a joke. The other day I read The Face of Change by Caralyn of Beauty Beyond Bones. Caralyn shares: “I’m going to put *this* one all the way in the back. Hide … Continue reading There’s an old saying
Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters: Day 14
