Sometimes as I sit to write the words flow freely from my heart and mind to the keyboard, onto this page. I have an idea of where to go, not so much a clear path to get there. Occasionally the where I think this is going, and where I end up are incredibly different. … Continue reading Conversations about Faith

Borrowing Worry
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Oh the thoughts I think while sipping coffee, with music playing in the background, facebook in another tab, and a mental checklist of what's going with me today. I'm heading off to a friends to baste a quilt (or two … Continue reading Borrowing Worry
Perhaps you’re thirsty
Today is the Feast of Pentecost, where the breath, the wind of the Holy Spirit. Today we sing Veni, Sancte Spiritus: Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from your celestial home Shed a ray of light divine! Come, Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store! Come, within our bosoms shine. You, of comforters … Continue reading Perhaps you’re thirsty
Define, Refine
I'm sitting in my living room trying to write this blog post for the third, maybe fourth, time. A Quilter's Heart is akin to the prayer journals that I once kept daily. I miss that time with God, handing all of those big, and little things that filled my heart with joy, with love, with tenderness, … Continue reading Define, Refine
This is the moment
"Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created" Esther 4:14 So yeah. This verse came up in my fb newsfeed recently. Once upon a time there was a magazine entitled "The Quilt Life" the premise being that quilting and life are so intertwined that we lead a Quilt Life. Each day there is … Continue reading This is the moment
Wait
Psalm 13: How long, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my … Continue reading Wait
As you may know
In both Creation stories in the book of Genesis God Created the physical world, giving it form, function, whimsy, oddity, and people. It is the people who are entrusted with the care of the physical world. God gave us, and therefore dignified work. Most work is good, giving us the opportunity to grow closer to … Continue reading As you may know
The Real Thing
One of my earliest memories of going to Church is way back in the early 70's we were in the choir loft - for what reason I'm not sure it may have been three little girls, or the Church was crowded, whatever. This particular morning during the homily the Priest, using a film projector, … Continue reading The Real Thing
Peeling the Layers Back
Luke 6 I went looking for this: Luke 6:38 "Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” Finding the rest of Luke 6 and oh so … Continue reading Peeling the Layers Back
Well, that wasn’t what I expected
Sometimes I think I've told the tale and I did, so here's the link. Oh wait, not quite sure what I'm talking about? Here goes: for a long time I was praised God as a Protestant of the Anabaptist variety. They tended toward using the King James or New King James scriptural translation, so sometimes … Continue reading Well, that wasn’t what I expected
