The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis

So, we’ve been told
Beauty is only skin deep. So we've been told. So we're told. Yes, that's an intentional rephrase. While at lunch I perused facebook on my phone and was stopped cold seeing an image of a sweet, long-haired little girl, sitting cross-legged, wielding a pair of shears, poised to cut the "bulge" from her belly. The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
same prayer, years apart
Sometimes in the quiet a song comes to the surface of my heart reminding me that I've been praying this type of prayer for as long as I can remember. "God I love you, I want what you want in my life." Often this is exemplified by a song, or a prayer (which is a … Continue reading same prayer, years apart
Beloved, let us Love one another
I John 3: Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. And so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been … Continue reading Beloved, let us Love one another
Examination
Galatians 6: 1 - 10 Sisters (Brothers), even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is … Continue reading Examination

What I learned is more of a reminder than a learning something new. … Continue reading

Pearls
Okay, these are stones and a shell not pearls. These stones have value to me, much in the same way a pearl would to others. I pick up stones along the way as reminders of a place, a moment, a memory. A couple weeks ago my sweetie and I went to the beach, put our … Continue reading Pearls
Making Room
As fearful people we are inclined to develop a mind-set that makes us say: "There's not enough food for everyone, so I better be sure I save enough for myself in case of emergency," or "There's not enough knowledge for everyone to enjoy; so I'd better keep my knowledge to myself, so no one else … Continue reading Making Room
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!
