Genesis 1 … Continue reading Posted Love

I didn’t intend to blog today
But the words are right there so here goes: "But maybe you're thirsty" he said. Whoa. Here we are on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent and VaLENTines day when the depth of these words are holding new, deeper meaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs Ash Wednesday is a Fast Day for Catholics (and other faiths).

Thank You
Life Lines is a feature I read regularly in Catholic NY. I enjoy Mary Poust's writing style, and as a woman I do appreciate her take on faith. Saying "Thank you" for the hard stuff that happens in life, seeing these moments, these experiences as a blessing is something of a challenge. I'd certainly love everything … Continue reading Thank You
all things work together
The readings for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time remind me of quite a few songs from my Anabaptist days. So many tunes singing sweetly in my ear reminding me of God's love and providence. We know all things work together for good for those who love God - Romans 8:28 I'm going to pause … Continue reading all things work together

In a way it's kind of refreshing to hear a different voice as I will tune in differently. This Priest … Continue reading Squandering Creativity

Self-ish?
There is sometimes that niggling feeling in the back of my brain. This niggling leads to thoughts. The thoughts lead to...oh dear you know where this is going. I've been thinking about this for a while, pondering it's meaning on this part of my journey. For months now there has been a song, by an … Continue reading Self-ish?
Welcome to 2015 – Journey
Welcome to 2015 my prayer is a deeper sense of God's Mercy and of God's Creative sense. As I read this first sentence I am in awe of how these are the same thing, God is all One and in my humanness I see this as different pieces. For me as a human it is … Continue reading Welcome to 2015 – Journey
