I didn't. I haven't even misplaced them. Like some people I can read upside down and backwards. I can write, and quilt, words backwards. This might be one of those skills that allows me to be a fairly decent quilter. (And before you say anything I'm not seeking compliments on my quilting skills, promise.) I like … Continue reading I thought I lost the words

The Real Thing
One of my earliest memories of going to Church is way back in the early 70's we were in the choir loft - for what reason I'm not sure it may have been three little girls, or the Church was crowded, whatever. This particular morning during the homily the Priest, using a film projector, … Continue reading The Real Thing

The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
Good? Friday!
This afternoon I'll be in Church for a couple of hours celebrating the Passion of our Lord. The readings of the day are really rich, recounting Jesus' betrayal, right through his death. The way the Gospel is read the community responds with "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" at those moments when Jesus is condemned. I remember … Continue reading Good? Friday!

Welcome to 2015 my prayer is a deeper sense of God's Mercy and of God's Creative sense. As I read this first sentence I am in awe of how these are the same thing, God is all One and in my humanness I see this as different pieces. For me as a human it is … Continue reading Welcome to 2015 – Journey
