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

Whirling
Spring has sprung here in NY. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTcCrq_BF7z/?taken-by=terilucas Our dogwood is blooming, the hyacinths are about done, the hydrangeas and mountain laurel are starting to leaf out, the mocking birds and robins are nesting in the dogwood and arbor respectively. I've unintentionally witnessed sparrows mating by looking out the window at just the right moment. I … Continue reading Whirling
Moved to Tears
We are a one car family at the moment. It's a little challenging now and again, however we gotta do what we gotta do. Today, as of the moment of this writing, is Good Friday. One car, so walking to the local parish for the celebration of the Passion of our Lord. The walk was … Continue reading Moved to Tears
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?

Quilting as Prayer
Like the art of quilt making itself the paths are many, and all lead in the same direction, a completed quilt. Well that's the hope anyway. Prayer is much the same, there are different ways of praying, and all lead to God. Some quilts are quick, and easy. Like the prayers as I walk into … Continue reading Quilting as Prayer

Hope

So here goes...August through now has been so very hard emotionally. Working in a shop that is closing is hard work. and emotionally draining.

Waltzing
Backwards in High Heels. I'm linking over the page where she explains why she chose the name. I'd heard the quote/story of Ginger Rogers doing everything everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards, and in high heels. Every once in a while when I was a teenager I'd watch waltzing competitions on PBS. These competitions were … Continue reading Waltzing
Morning Musing
While on the bus last night the song lyrics were "fill me up Lord, fill me up Lord", my mind kept saying "empty me out Lord, empty me out Lord". I've shared with a few friends that with the shop closing, with needing to look for work, that there is a sense of being lost. … Continue reading Morning Musing
