Passion Sunday Today starts a little bit differently. We greet the Lord as a Great King, carpeting the road with Palm branches, as one would. There is something in the human spirit, in that moment that recognized the Truth of the Experience of Jesus. Perhaps, as often is the case, some joined the crowd so as not to … Continue reading Palm Sunday
If only to prove I’m real
and not pie in the sky happy, goofy and a complete air head. Not that anyone of you would believe that for a moment anyway because you are real as well. You know that life, that faith, has it's moments where things feel like that moment when we first sat at our sewing machines to … Continue reading If only to prove I’m real
Inside Out
From the inside out keeps running through my head. My heart cries out...it's just the one phrase, like an old 45 skipping along. No matter where I am, no matter what I'm doing. "From the inside out of my soul". I've been reminded lately that what comes in must go out. Sometimes what comes out … Continue reading Inside Out
A song just below the surface
For the last five days or so there's been a song niggling at the edge of my consciousness. I can hear the melody but the words are not quite there. Part of this is irritating. I KNOW this song and yet it's not quite there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-afZJ9_TIM And then just now...and now I know why. It's … Continue reading A song just below the surface
Genesis
The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis
Love
Love is. . . sleeping on the couch when I'm sick, so he doesn't get it. Patient. Love is. . . encouraging quilters to just be the best they can be in this moment, right now. Kind. Love is. . . being genuinely happy for others in their successes. Gentle. Love is. . . letting … Continue reading Love
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
same prayer, years apart
Sometimes in the quiet a song comes to the surface of my heart reminding me that I've been praying this type of prayer for as long as I can remember. "God I love you, I want what you want in my life." Often this is exemplified by a song, or a prayer (which is a … Continue reading same prayer, years apart
For I am Yours and You are Mine
Waking up with a song in my head is always lovely. Waking up with this song in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs always leads me to a moment of thinking and praying. Lately a lot of songs from "a way back when" have been on my mind and heart. Partly because the "band" has been playing them … Continue reading For I am Yours and You are Mine
