Surrender was my 2025 Word of the Year. I had no expectations or desires other than to live it however God desired. About a month ago I wrote this reflection on living with this word. As sometimes happens there is further reflection on surrender, that brought a delight I cannot quite explain. As part of … Continue reading Surrender: a Prayer, a Revisit & a Reflection

Pause for a moment to ponder the goodness of the Lord. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they … Continue reading Exercise
Make Me or Change my Heart O God
The Gospel of Luke is a fascinating read and study. At my Parish there is a class on Luke with a guy who has a Masters in Scripture study and learned Greek to understand the writing better. I've read Sacred Scripture almost my whole life and remain in awe of how much is there. Over … Continue reading Make Me or Change my Heart O God
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
A Discovery of
A tattered box arrived on the doorstep yesterday. Despite the condition of the box the contents remained intact. The box contained the U.S. Flag given after the death of my dad, who was in the U.S. Air Force in the early 1960's, some photos of my husband and me, and a grocery bag containing a … Continue reading A Discovery of

Encouragement as a gift is something seemingly delightful, until that encouragement involves another part which is encouraging someone to pause, think about where they are, and make … Continue reading A Little Pick me Up
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
I’ve gotta admire Jacob, Wrestling all night
My copy of Our Lady of Hot Messes arrived Friday and I'm starting to dig in. When I review quilting books I can often tell in the dedication how the book is going to be, if this holds true then this book will be different and challenging. When someone says, "y'all deserved better" there is … Continue reading I’ve gotta admire Jacob, Wrestling all night
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
A Faith in Quilting Post
Alt Title: Active but not busy It's only taken a bit over thirty-two years of being in relationship with my Sweetie, and nearly thirty years of being married to him to come to the understanding that our thinking processes are different, compatible, but different. That we each think and act differently is both heartening and … Continue reading A Faith in Quilting Post
