http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMV3X3sysxk I like it when I wake up and a song speaks to my heart or in this case speaks to the "should've" part of life. Should've done this, should've used that color, should've figured something else out, should've asked for help, should've been more respectful of the bias, should've whatever. Shoulda, woulda, coulda knock … Continue reading wherein I wish I had my first quilt

Pondering: Paying attention
Try as I might to concentrate sometimes at Church I'm a bit distracted. My mind wanders. I start thinking deeply about relationships, upcoming events, etc. that I kind of lose what's going on right in front of me. I'm not listening, paying attention or absorbing. I realize I'm not paying attention then tune back in. … Continue reading Pondering: Paying attention

There, but for the Grace of God, go I
Happens to be on of my very least favorite sayings in Christianity. I remember the first time I heard it and who said it. I know it bristled me then and now, well. I just don't, yeah, no. Twenty-five years of reflecting and I finally know why. Grace: mercy, clemency, pardon, forgiveness, charity, mercy, favor, … Continue reading There, but for the Grace of God, go I
Fascinating Frailties
the title of this blog post comes from a conversation I'm having with a small group of close quilterly friends. We have made a commitment to support and encourage one another: messages, emails, phone calls, texts, however we can. It's important from a listening and caring; sharing and not being committed to whatever we offer … Continue reading Fascinating Frailties
Paradoxically
I started writing this post later last night and had to stop to do some work. The bonus is I woke up with a song in my head. Everything Falls. Actually it's the chorus that is looping through my brain this morning. I still have a very, very full week of have to do's. Fortunately … Continue reading Paradoxically
wherein failure is holy
when I log onto the WordPress dashboard to write, check comments or upload photos for an upcoming blog I see the most recent comments. Robyn's most recent comment is right there along with a photo of her face, a kindly face indeed. Robyn mentions that she's reminded of something Brennan Manning said, going onto share … Continue reading wherein failure is holy
Jonah and Surprise!!
I've always been fascinated with the story of Jonah. The way the readings go the Psalm Response for today is from Psalm 51. When I looked at the readings for tomorrow (it's Tuesday night when I'm writing) I giggled as I scanned Jonah's journey through the City of Nineveh calling them to conversion of heart … Continue reading Jonah and Surprise!!
