Small Labors
One of the very first little blogs I wrote, almost three years ago now, was about taking care of the linens in our church. It’s timely I guess because just this morning I was ironing the linens to take with me to church. It reminded me of that little blog and I thought today might…

How ‘Bout Brunch
Later this morning, we’re going to treat ourselves to brunch with friends we haven’t seen in quite a while. Actually, that’s not entirely true. We see them almost every week. They are neighbors and we’ll chat briefly while their fur baby is walking them in the mornings 🙂 . However, we haven’t been able to…

The Stained Glass
We’ve been working on this little outbuilding next to our church. It’s being transformed into what we are calling the All Souls Chapel. You see, on the East and West sides of our church are sacred churchyards. These are blessed grounds where parishioners have chosen to have their ashes placed upon their death. The churchyards…

Twenty Seven Later
Yesterday I was meeting with a group of people. We have a new group that is being made available at our church, and a few of us are beta testing it. It allows the facilitators to go through the curriculum and make sure the process flows the way they would like. I volunteered to participate,…

Face It Head On
About a year ago, I set out to learn the process of making sourdough bread. Now you probably think that isn’t a big deal.

This morning, friends, I come to this little blog with a request. As I look back on this week, I’ve seen so many who are hurting. Some friends have health issues causing physical pain, some who are saying goodbye to loved ones and their hearts ache, others are dealing with uncertainty in their jobs. I…

The Random Pile
You all know that there are days when my thoughts don’t quite come together for this little blog. Most of the time, I have an idea of what I want to share here, but there are times when I start to type and before I realize it, what I’m writing just doesn’t come together, and…

Emily Rea One Year Later
If you’ve been following this little blog for the past year, you know the story about Emily Rea. She is the niece of the dear friend of mind. Emily went missing one year ago today. She planned a short paddleboard outing at the Hungry Horse Reservoir in Flathead County, MT but she never came home.…

Helping the Little Ones
For the last several years our church has helped one of our local organizations supply fully stocked backpacks to children in need. It’s a wonderful program that provides children with new backpacks and supplies to start the school year. Usually, we provide a list of supplies by grade level and our parishioners shop on their…

Just Call
Our relationship with Father isn’t rocket science. That’s an interesting way to start this little blog, isn’t it? What I mean is, that He is here with us, He’s right here waiting for us to call on Him. This morning as I sat down outside, I rubbed my little wooden cross in my fingers and…
