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

Of Dandelions
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

Way back in twenty-twenty one of the desires of my heart, other than being a good quilter, is to grow in Intimacy with God. This desire remains deeply in my being. The readings for the Second Sunday of Ordinary … Continue reading So this morning

As I am a short woman this is highly appropriate that I share a few snippets of the year and the twenty-twenty-five word of the year. Institute for Spiritual Direction - is as … Continue reading Word of the Year 2025
Wheeeeee
When starting the Institute for Spiritual Direction in the fall of 2023 I thought I'd be writing more frequently about what we're reading and learning and doing. The lack of writing has much to do with both the desire to honor what the others in the group are sharing with me and that there is … Continue reading Wheeeeee

Welcome to the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Fr Mike Schmitz Homily I deeply appreciate both the readings of this Eighteenth Sunday and Fr Mike's homily. As he read the Gospel Jesus' words rang out Jesus said to them,"I am the bread of life;whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will … Continue reading The Grace of Through
