It's summer. It's been warm. The parish we attend locally doesn't have air conditioning in the main Church. I'm not complaining, just helping to set the scene. There are 6 or 8, much needed, industrial fans located around the Church to help move air when it's hot and sticky outside. We are blessed to have … Continue reading Wherein I have a hard time hearing

The Chip
Have you ever read Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece? I read this to small children a long time ago, in a place far away. I loved reading this book to small children. While it's written for children I think this book is for adults, to remind us that in and of ourselves we are indeed … Continue reading The Chip
Have I ever shared
So, in an earlier part of my life part of my work was to go to conferences to promote the ministry my sweetie and I worked with. When I first started going it was particularly challenging because my personal preference would be to blend into the nearest wall, becoming invisible, unseen. This wasn't about me … Continue reading Have I ever shared
Where are you leading?
I read this post by Mary deTurris Poust on her blog Not Strictly Spiritual Friday. Something deeply resonated in my heart, particularly after something I said earlier that morning. In some way I wanted to be part of something, a particular group of people. In an effort to not be whiny I'll leave it at that. Mary's … Continue reading Where are you leading?

July 6th is a special day. My Gramma's birthday, were she still living, it'd be her 101st. I miss having Gramma around. Today is also my high school bestie's birthday. Happy Birthday Beth! The other day while at the quilt shop I had the opportunity to talk about different types of friendship with a 10-year-old quilter. She … Continue reading Value

Why would you?
Two things this morning kept me thinking. Apparently enough to slow me down enough with something that needs to be done by this weekend. I'm not so much having writers block as it is writer's pause. I'm pausing to do something else and think for a bit before proceeding with the writing. My favorite Priest … Continue reading Why would you?
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
A moment of economical joy
The other day I had a 90+ minute conversation with an industry professional. It was a good conversation for both of us one of listening, and learning. As we finished the conversation I experienced two things: first a deep sense of joy in the sharing of our experience, and second a flash of a memory of … Continue reading A moment of economical joy
Journey
Bilbo sings: The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. The thought … Continue reading Journey
