There's a scripture that speaks to how we are each fearfully and wonderfully made. One I've cherished and relied on. One I've forgotten. One remembered. A Quilter's Heart is the intertwining of faith and quilt making. The correlations are just there for us, as quilt makers, as creative types to see, and grow in our … Continue reading beautifully, freely inadequate

The Grace of Beginning, Again
Advent is something of a little Lent, wherein we, hopefully out of love of God and neighbor, give up a little something either as a charitable gift, or spend a bit more time in prayer for someone, or take a moment to examine our heart. It is a time of preparation for the Advent (coming) … Continue reading The Grace of Beginning, Again
Happy New Year!
Yes, it's the Liturgical New Year. Today we begin again, telling the stories leading up to the Birth of Jesus. That moment when God, who seems, often feels, somewhere out there, way beyond our grasp, entered into out daily, human, corporeal existence, becoming one of us in everything, except sin. Through all the trials, and … Continue reading Happy New Year!
Gratitude
Wanderlost Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving. For Sweetie and I it was quiet, and our food consumption was not considered "traditional": steak, baked potatoes, oven roasted asparagus, and lemon meringue pie. I had a glass of a French Rose that complemented the meal well. A simple feast for two. While we as a nation give thanks … Continue reading Gratitude
Craftsmanship
Over the last week or so that winter funk creeping in, thankfully it didn't have time to take root and cover me completely. I know what started it and am slowly discovering the deep down why it happens and am seeing what needs healing. Yesterday ended up being Teri gets out of a funk day … Continue reading Craftsmanship
Revealing
I remember the moment I asked God for the gift of patience standing in front of the boxes for each family member of the church, I was fourteen, maybe fifteen and a newish member of said church. As a sign of our obedience to God, our call to prayer, and submission to the authority in … Continue reading Revealing
A Mish Mosh of Words
On and off over the last week I've stared at the computer screen, awaiting the words that will make the most sense. When these times happen when the words don't come I get a little freaked out. Perhaps I've lost them. Perhaps they will no longer show up at my front door, in a box, … Continue reading A Mish Mosh of Words
Giving in to Hope
"There, but for the Grace of God, go I" I've always disliked this saying from the first time I heard. This implying that God's grace belongs to a select few rather than those in the midst of some kind of difficulty i.e. poverty, physical impairment, mental impairment. This sentiment rears it's ugly head throughout scripture … Continue reading Giving in to Hope
Reconciling, Writing, and Prayers Please
I am in deep need of reconciling with someone in my life. Reconciling relationships takes work, time, and willingness to set aside or move beyond the hurt experienced by both. There is a distinct difference between setting aside the feeling of hurt to make room for dealing with the underlying problem and setting aside the underlying … Continue reading Reconciling, Writing, and Prayers Please

<a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/16135519/?claim=y97fa4yr5w3">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> I'm a bit sensitive. I don't want to be, it's how I'm made. I long to embrace this sensitivity for the gift that it is. It's changed, grown, matured? over time. Still causing trouble when my face decides to show things swirling below. I'm also candid which is oh … Continue reading Like Many Quilters
