Pause for a moment to ponder the goodness of the Lord. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they … Continue reading Exercise

Make Me or Change my Heart O God
The Gospel of Luke is a fascinating read and study. At my Parish there is a class on Luke with a guy who has a Masters in Scripture study and learned Greek to understand the writing better. I've read Sacred Scripture almost my whole life and remain in awe of how much is there. Over … Continue reading Make Me or Change my Heart O God
On Saying Yes
My Sweetie and will celebrate 33 years of marriage in the fall. I cannot help but be encouraged that this year is a Jubilee of Hope, for this is what marriage is, an act of hope, an act in hope. It would be very easy to write all the typical cliche's on how the years … Continue reading On Saying Yes
The Joy of Quilting
Two very fine threads, through one needle I keep a lot of quilts, thread, and other stuff I teach with in the back of the car because it's easy for the times when I get to lecture and teach. I'm in a summer slowdown - unless of course your Parish, guild or shop would like … Continue reading The Joy of Quilting
We can only Wonder at Every Gift You Give
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaIDkoFXdUk We can only wonder at every gift You Give Many mornings I wake up hearing a song lyric on repeat. This morning not so much. Nope, this morning I woke up in conversation with a couple of different people. Over time when this happens the clarity is there's something the Good Father desires to … Continue reading We can only Wonder at Every Gift You Give

Dandelions are a favorite flower of mine. I love the delightful yellow, the hardiness of the plant itself and that it is edible when left chemically untreated. I love making my husband crazy by not letting him pull them up and leaving them as food for the bees. I have fond childhood memories of these … Continue reading Of Dandelions
Sometimes I Wander
Well, there's a typo I didn't expect. And here's the thing you wouldn't know unless I pointed it out to you. Would you like to know the typo? When originally typing the title for this post I used the word Wonder. Then, in a habit from when I learned to type on an actual typewriter … Continue reading Sometimes I Wander
Memory, Quilting and Prayer
It's a porch morning this morning. Meaning I got to sit on the porch with an insulated cup of water this morning. It's overcast this morning, and the sky is kind of gray, meaning that the sunrise is spectacular somewhere other than the viewing area from the front porch. While out there though I prayed … Continue reading Memory, Quilting and Prayer
Happy Feast Day
Feast of Saintts Philip and James, Apostles I rather enjoy waking up early in the morning to have quiet time before beginning the day. This time generally includes some silent prayer, journaling, reading the scripture of the day, and finding the earworm of the day. The earworm of the day is often shared with a … Continue reading Happy Feast Day
The Chair is Vacant
"There will be a Consistory in May" he said as I entered the living room. My sleepy brain both understanding the meaning of the words and asking at the same time, "Pope Francis died?" "Around 7:30 AM Rome time, about midnight here." (Oddly enough right around the time I went to bed.) Resquiat in Pace.My … Continue reading The Chair is Vacant
