Galatians 6: 1 - 10 Sisters (Brothers), even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is … Continue reading Examination
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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNGdcq0pAuU The words to Majesty are the earworm of the week. A full week. Autumn gets me thinking about beauty, about life's journey, about this blazing, amazing moment of richness, and depth that happens. About the JOURNEY of it all. How some years seem to fly right by without so much as a "nice to … Continue reading beauty

So this is a dual post one where I caught myself getting annoyed with someone on more than one occasion. And STOPPED it cold. In both instances the person is new in their position and learning something that takes time. Customer Service in any way, shape, and form, takes time to learn. And on the … Continue reading entitled
Why would you?
Two things this morning kept me thinking. Apparently enough to slow me down enough with something that needs to be done by this weekend. I'm not so much having writers block as it is writer's pause. I'm pausing to do something else and think for a bit before proceeding with the writing. My favorite Priest … Continue reading Why would you?

Jealousy is also defined as: vigilance in maintaining or guarding something. (Thank you dictionary.com) And then I read Proverbs 14:30 this morning "A tranquil mind gives life to the body, but jealousy rots the … Continue reading Proverbs 14:30
Review
I am living in something of a challenging moment. Challenging moments are part of the Journey, they are moments where slow and steady navigation is required. As I logged on to write this morning a couple of memories cropped up. (And competing ear worms more on that later) Our youth group would take a trip … Continue reading Review
A Quilters Heart
I've been thinking a lot about the teaching/learning process. I've been thinking about how I learn and how I teach. I've been thinking about how I think, what I know, the vast amount of stuff I don't know, the things I want to learn so that I can be a better teacher, and a better … Continue reading A Quilters Heart
"If I'd only known" this or that I may have responded differently to, name situation here _________________________. I recently watched an episode of a quilting show whose guest was speaking and teaching quilting however, what I learned had nothing to do with quilting. What I learned is more of a reminder than a learning something new. … Continue reading
