Journey
Bilbo sings: The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. The thought … Continue reading Journey
Water, water…where’s the bucket
The pondering will never end. I mull things over until they come to the surface and are ready to be shared in some verbal form. When I started writing this I had some seemingly brilliant connection between the Woman at the Well and the guy at the Pool of Siloam who needed help getting to … Continue reading Water, water…where’s the bucket
Through Lent and Easter
For the most part over the next 8 weeks or so I'm going to post links to the Readings of the Day. The bulk of my time will be spent quilting and writing for the book.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday - From Joel 2: Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God.

Quilting, healing, rethinking what things look like

But musicians paint their pictures on silence. - Leopold Stokowski Be still and know that I am God Psalm 46:10 Luke 10 The last few months life has been rather full, busy. Slowing down to be still, not so much. There is book writing, blog writing for 3 very … Continue reading Be Still Revisit and Doing my work
Hey there! Let me chat you up.
Matthew 18: 15 to 20 “If your brother (sister) sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of … Continue reading Hey there! Let me chat you up.
wherein I wish I had my first quilt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMV3X3sysxk I like it when I wake up and a song speaks to my heart or in this case speaks to the "should've" part of life. Should've done this, should've used that color, should've figured something else out, should've asked for help, should've been more respectful of the bias, should've whatever. Shoulda, woulda, coulda knock … Continue reading wherein I wish I had my first quilt
