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
So this morning
I started journaling, wanted to share with a friend then though I'll share on my blog. 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
Word of the Year 2025
Here it is the end of the third week of Advent, which also happens to be the shortest day of the year. 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
Aha!
Sundays begin with Fr Mike 's and Bishop Barron's homilies. (Sunday Readings) This week Fr Mike focuses on rest and gives some good insight into what rest can look like. As he started the homily I had this Aha! moment that sent me thinking for a few moments. Which means I probably missed an important … Continue reading Aha!
Writing, Reading and Pondering
One of my favorite places is in the hammock in the backyard, sometimes reading, sometimes dozing. I would have stayed out a bit longer this morning except that the temps and humidity drove me inside. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8FKB_jRMUY/ I did have quite the view though. Right now I'm reading Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology Michael … Continue reading Writing, Reading and Pondering
Rejecting Connection
Happy Easter! Christ is Risen, Alleluia. Apparently I took a blogging break during Lent. It was, as I've read here and there, something of a Lenty Lent. When the Holy Spirit prompts you to go a bit deeper you get to pick, do I go deeper or not. The Holy Spirit only needs an atom … Continue reading Rejecting Connection
Looking: Still Waters run Deep
"Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" is one of the taglines I've had over on TerifiCreations. I had this for a while because indeed it is. Often as quilters progress through sewing they often land in the world of quilting and stay there. I landed here oh so many years ago in part because … Continue reading Looking: Still Waters run Deep
