My Sweetie and will celebrate 33 years of marriage in the fall. I cannot help but be encouraged that this year is a Jubilee of Hope, for this is what marriage is, an act of hope, an act in hope. It would be very easy to write all the typical cliche's on how the years … Continue reading On Saying Yes

The Joy of Quilting
Two very fine threads, through one needle I keep a lot of quilts, thread, and other stuff I teach with in the back of the car because it's easy for the times when I get to lecture and teach. I'm in a summer slowdown - unless of course your Parish, guild or shop would like … Continue reading The Joy of Quilting
We can only Wonder at Every Gift You Give
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaIDkoFXdUk We can only wonder at every gift You Give Many mornings I wake up hearing a song lyric on repeat. This morning not so much. Nope, this morning I woke up in conversation with a couple of different people. Over time when this happens the clarity is there's something the Good Father desires to … Continue reading We can only Wonder at Every Gift You Give
Memory, Quilting and Prayer
It's a porch morning this morning. Meaning I got to sit on the porch with an insulated cup of water this morning. It's overcast this morning, and the sky is kind of gray, meaning that the sunrise is spectacular somewhere other than the viewing area from the front porch. While out there though I prayed … Continue reading Memory, Quilting and Prayer

I started journaling, wanted to share with a friend then though I'll share on my blog.

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
Looking: Still Waters run Deep
"Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" is one of the taglines I've had over on TerifiCreations. I had this for a while because indeed it is. Often as quilters progress through sewing they often land in the world of quilting and stay there. I landed here oh so many years ago in part because … Continue reading Looking: Still Waters run Deep
Sheep and Quilting and a Good Book Quote
When I say I nearly spit eggs on my keyboard when I read, As we were walking down the road, I saw a cloud of white moving off to the side and wondered aloud what it could be. As we got closer, the cloud came into focus, and soon I could see that it was … Continue reading Sheep and Quilting and a Good Book Quote
Savor the Graces
Luke 17: 11-19 "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well." Jesus said this to me as I knelt before Him. Thanking him. Praising Him for healing me of leprosy. Thank you Jesus for making me well. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for restoring me to my family. I have … Continue reading Savor the Graces
