So, as I’m doing the dishes
Or Aha! Moments happen when they happen. My Sweetie and I, being just us two, share household duties. Sometimes the balance shifts here, or there depending on our needs and what's going on in our lives. Our general rule is whoever cooks doesn't have to do the dishes. As you can imagine this isn't always … Continue reading So, as I’m doing the dishes
Trust
It's one of those weeks where things niggle at the edge, whispering for me to pay attention. I have some ideas where this is going, however my guess is the writing will be a combination of serendipty, inspiration, whispering, and guts. Taking stock is good. Getting through the overpowering waves of emotion before … Continue reading Trust
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
Whacked my toe – good golly that hurt
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, making dinner is not my favorite thing in life. My sweetie enjoys cooking, I enjoy baking. When I cook, eh, food's edible and we're nourished. Quite frankly we're lucky the food is on the table all at the same time. When he cooks, the sun pours forth, … Continue reading Whacked my toe – good golly that hurt

The Busted Halo crew, talk with listeners about where they see faith in music lyrics, television shows, books - that are not inherently faith based. These shows help merge those things in life which seem, on the surface, to live … Continue reading Sometimes
Of Parties and Food

It took a few years for us to learn to work together and trust one another, but when it happened, oh it was beautiful. It was hard at moments as we had moments that were hard, things were … Continue reading Of Parties and Food
A Season
Ecclesiastes 3: There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a … Continue reading A Season
Frustration redux
Three Minute Retreat Isaiah 49:6 - I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. Spirit of God, move through me. Help me to use my gifts in cooperation with God’s plan of salvation. So, I'm not frustrated, but had this (probably once again) epiphany of … Continue reading Frustration redux
I know what he meant now
Did you ever have an experience where you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news? I remember with great clarity the moment my parents, who were just nearing 30, had to tell us that Grampa died. The rain was coming down so very hard that we couldn't see much beyond the door. … Continue reading I know what he meant now
