The other day as I packed up at the end of a shop appointment I put a couple of file folders with orders in a sample suitcase rather than in one of the two bags that I use as offices, one for each company. When I got home this sent me into a bit of … Continue reading Superlative, a Faith in Culture Post

Imagine
Way back in the day I remember one of the "older" neighborhood kids telling me about the movie Jaws. We were standing on her front porch on a sunny afternoon I was 7 maybe 8 years old. I remember having nightmares about a shark attacking me and falling out of bed. My imagination worked overtime … Continue reading Imagine
It’s a good day to begin anew
An Advent Reflection The other day I read something really beautiful written by Dr. Tom Neal on Word on Fire: Show me the Father. By the time I arrived at the end of the piece the tears were sliding down my face. It is in part because of my experience earlier this year, having that … Continue reading It’s a good day to begin anew

The Rotten Poet's Eldlest Daughter Gives consideration to blog fodder Sometimes thinking of a word or phrase Sends her brain into some deep haze Thought after endless thought Swirls and whirls around competing for attention here and there making my abundant hair shine and sparkle a streak of white/gray that makes me say Hey Look … Continue reading Potential
Giving in to Hope
"There, but for the Grace of God, go I" I've always disliked this saying from the first time I heard. This implying that God's grace belongs to a select few rather than those in the midst of some kind of difficulty i.e. poverty, physical impairment, mental impairment. This sentiment rears it's ugly head throughout scripture … Continue reading Giving in to Hope

Seeking. Asking. Wanting. Needing. Thanking. Thanking. Thanking. Over the last week or so while praying I hear the word "write", having no clear direction for where to go, what to write. This morning pen in … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters – Day 8
I’m a Thief
I have a bad habit of putting pens in my pocket taking them with me when I leave an office. It all started with the bic stic pen it's clear, hexagonal barrel allowing me to see the ink working it's way down, taking notes, doing homework, writing in my journals. Next up the round pens … Continue reading I’m a Thief
This is Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=witKT8Y6Da8 I listened to this song the other day and thought I'd share it here with you. I love Matt's voice, I love that he shares this gift of singing with the world, expressing his love for and relationship with the Lord. I'm teaching quilting locally on Saturday, we're going to be making a color … Continue reading This is Love
Celebrating
Celebrating is a good thing. We're quickly coming up on the Season of Advent, which can be practiced as a "little Lent", with sacrifices, preparing our hearts for making room for Jesus. We take this journey with Mary and Joseph who must travel to Bethlehem while she's in that last month of pregnancy. In this … Continue reading Celebrating
