I love it when my favorite Priest shares his homily on fb Sunday morning. There are two things I always here 1) Jesus and 2) something to grow on. Having to think and pray and contemplate. It's even better when Seth gets in on the conversation this week too.... Homily for the 6th Sunday in … Continue reading Quilting, healing, rethinking what things look like

Rejoice with me, please
The Parable of the Lost Coin. 8 Or what woman having ten coins* and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found … Continue reading Rejoice with me, please
Friends are just the best!
Proverbs 17 Friendship is something I take seriously. Let me rephrase that: friendship means a lot to me. I know a lot of people but few are friends. I'll spend time with a lot of people, but there are few I'd call and talk for hours on the phone with or invite to and make … Continue reading Friends are just the best!
Waking up with a song in my head
Sometimes it's rather hilarious the songs that go through my head in the morning. I have to wonder what I go to sleep thinking about. The first time I heard this song must have been years ago, it's been around for a long time. In the last few weeks One Week has been a regular … Continue reading Waking up with a song in my head
Cleaning House
cleaning and gardening are not my favorite chores. Oh there are all sorts of "a faith life well lived" analogies in cleaning and gardening. There are tons of quotes that reflect how the they are interlinked. This kind of thought gives me the heebiegeebies. Seriously. it's like that standardized testing in grade school. Some people really … Continue reading Cleaning House
Welcome to 2015 – Journey

Hope will
It's rare that a book captures my attention enough that I'm eager to read it a second or third time. I can occasionally watch movies again and rare that I will marathon watch an entire series, repeatedly, in a very short period of time. Like when I'm quilting. The Lord of the Rings is that … Continue reading Hope will
Pondering: Paying attention
Try as I might to concentrate sometimes at Church I'm a bit distracted. My mind wanders. I start thinking deeply about relationships, upcoming events, etc. that I kind of lose what's going on right in front of me. I'm not listening, paying attention or absorbing. I realize I'm not paying attention then tune back in. … Continue reading Pondering: Paying attention
Feeling a bit hamster-ish
Here it is November 13th. Just mere days until the celebration of my birth. There are a group of us in the family starting in August that turn the same age each year. It's kind of sweet. This year seems to have sped by at a breakneck pace with its challenges and joys. More on … Continue reading Feeling a bit hamster-ish
The Joy of the Lord
The Joy of the Lord is my Strength Nehemiah 8:10 Tap Dancing Priests I woke up with "Overwhelmed" running through my head again. Weirdly I'd gone to bed thinking about the video (link above) and how I'd love to be able to dance, really dance. Sometimes I dance around my house while getting ready for … Continue reading The Joy of the Lord
