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…

One-Minute Prayer
I have a wonderful pocket-size book that was given to me by a friend many years ago. It’s title One-Minute Prayers. Every now and then I pull the book from the shelf in my office and read the simple prayers. They aren’t prayers in a traditional sense, they are more like thoughts, or conversations that…

Updates
Oh yes, the dreaded computer updates. I fell victim to them this morning. It has thrown off my whole schedule today. Sooo…this little blog might be even littler this morning 🙂 . As my computer popped up with the message today, “Your device will restart in 5 minutes”, I thought, “Seriously?”. Why are you telling…

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,…

Monday – No Worries
Ok, everyone, start of a new week, yes, dare I say, it’s the dreaded Monday. Actually, it’s a good day to start a good week. Let’s shake off the ho-hums of the start of the work week (those of you who are retired, well, you remember what it was like), and just get to it.…

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. Well, you don’t know my history of dealing with anything involving yeast or “rising”. It hasn’t been pretty. Well, it’s been pretty, like pretty awful. Over the years, I’ve wanted to…

Goodness of God
Happy Saturday, everyone. You know me, a little later start, a little longer morning chat with Father, a little less routine to enjoy this beautiful morning. This morning, I did just a few little things around the house. Tended to some plants outside, listened to the birds as they went about their morning search for…

Trust to Heal
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…
