I started journaling, wanted to share with a friend then though I'll share on my blog. Way back in twenty-twenty one of the desires of my heart, other than being a good quilter, is to grow in Intimacy with God. This desire remains deeply in my being. The readings for the Second Sunday of Ordinary … Continue reading So this morning

Word of the Year 2025
Here it is the end of the third week of Advent, which also happens to be the shortest day of the year. As I am a short woman this is highly appropriate that I share a few snippets of the year and the twenty-twenty-five word of the year. Institute for Spiritual Direction - is as … Continue reading Word of the Year 2025
Wheeeeee
When starting the Institute for Spiritual Direction in the fall of 2023 I thought I'd be writing more frequently about what we're reading and learning and doing. The lack of writing has much to do with both the desire to honor what the others in the group are sharing with me and that there is … Continue reading Wheeeeee
The Grace of Through
Welcome to the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Fr Mike Schmitz Homily I deeply appreciate both the readings of this Eighteenth Sunday and Fr Mike's homily. As he read the Gospel Jesus' words rang out Jesus said to them,"I am the bread of life;whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will … Continue reading The Grace of Through
Writing, Reading and Pondering
One of my favorite places is in the hammock in the backyard, sometimes reading, sometimes dozing. I would have stayed out a bit longer this morning except that the temps and humidity drove me inside. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8FKB_jRMUY/ I did have quite the view though. Right now I'm reading Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology Michael … Continue reading Writing, Reading and Pondering
On the Eve of Lent
Oh this morning the words are hilarious. I desire to pull several things together that seem disparate yet coherent. And I suspect I'll be working backwards this morning. A couple of friends and I use the Marco Polo app to chat with each other. One friend recently went through a major job change and move. … Continue reading On the Eve of Lent
Wonder and Awe
Last night as my Sweetie and I drove home from the parish mission, oh this had to be so good. Oh I kind of remember now. The memory thing was staring me right in the face, Wonder and Awe. I didn't know that in Confirmation that the Bishop prays for Wonder and Awe as one … Continue reading Wonder and Awe
Effects, Understanding, & Prayer

On TerifiCreations I shared I had Plans referring back to other days where I had plans that went … Continue reading Effects, Understanding, & Prayer
Oasis
While hauling around suitcases this week one of them jammed into my big toe, it's fine, it'll be fine. Central Texas got a little rain this week. As a general rule when I go for the mail I step on the berm adjacent to our front door, cross the street and walk to the mailbox. … Continue reading Oasis
Stitch by Stitch, Word by word, prayer by prayer
Happy Sunday friends. A very dear Priest friend often repeated, "God writes straight with crooked lines." Today's post is a little bit about that and a lot about repetition of the basics. Here in this beginning place is a link to the readings for the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, and to Fr Mike Schmitz … Continue reading Stitch by Stitch, Word by word, prayer by prayer
