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
I held her hand
In just a few short weeks I will celebrate the end of my forty-ninth, and beginning of my fiftieth year of life. I am grateful to be here. I'm grateful that along the way I've learned some wisdom, and have learned to listen to my heart (perhaps the prompting of the Holy Spirit?) when I … Continue reading I held her hand

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
Of Parties and Food
There was a moment, a really beautiful moment where a group of us were working beautifully together. 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
Conversations about Faith
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
