“Conundrums” is an excellent word. Therefore, I’m utilizing it again. The first thing that needs to be known is that there is a legend about a man known as St. Martin of Tours. In this story St. Martin is a soldier, riding his horse through a city. He happens upon a beggar and pities theContinueContinue reading “City-life conundrums: St. Martin and Mormons”

This past week: through the lens of “friends”
I’ll start by stating: I’m not fully informed on Twitter etiquette. So, my friend Kathryn tweets at me and I want to share it with all ya’lls. Am I supposed to erase her account evidence (for safety reasons) or am I supposed to let everyone see it and follow her (you know, the whole socialContinueContinue reading “This past week: through the lens of “friends””
More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)
It needs to be known that I went to upload my pictures from retreat and was surprised to find this happy face staring at me. Apparently Brother Thomas found my camera and snapped this beauty before returning my camera to its rightful owner. Baha! ANYWAY. Yesterday I wrote about Franciscan fashion and our friend Fr.ContinueContinue reading “More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)”
Bridging Advent Hope, Love, and Joy
The theme of Advent week #1 was “Hope,” week #2 was “Love,” and this week we have “Joy” or “Rejoicing.” The readings at mass this past week have been about (for the first reading) the words of the prophets to the people of God and (in the Gospel) St. John the Baptist. I think it’sContinueContinue reading “Bridging Advent Hope, Love, and Joy”
Beebee sheeps, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a coloring “contest”
Mt 18:12-14 Jesus said to his disciples: “What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over itContinueContinue reading “Beebee sheeps, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a coloring “contest””
Monday luv
Setting: Second week of Advent. Theme: love. And all I can do is sit here and think about how much work there is to be done. I’m thinking, “I don’t have time to write! I must make Christmas cards and buy gifts and make food and plan events!” But then I thought, “Maybe these kindContinueContinue reading “Monday luv”
On attending church
I go to church. I’m aware that not everyone attends church. And, you know what, friend, I appreciate your spiritual walk…whatever it looks like. Maybe at this point of your life you find it healthier to experience God in what might be considered a non-traditional way. I validate your search. That being said, I goContinueContinue reading “On attending church”
TODAY IS AN AWESOME DAY
Today is an awesome day. Today is the Feast of St. Andrew. I am going to list awesome things in rapid-fire mode, so hang onto your short pants. Awesome Story As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a netContinueContinue reading “TODAY IS AN AWESOME DAY”
A Hopeful Tuesday
On Sunday my childhood parish (Catholic-speak for “church”) closed. For good. Some of my family went to the closing mass. I didn’t. I had attended a different parish that morning, but I drove by hoping to catch the end of the mass. Entering the church triggered a flood of memories. I meant to walk towardsContinueContinue reading “A Hopeful Tuesday”
Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class
Yeah, so, I take an acrobat class. This is because once I went to a Bible Study and the icebreaker was, “If you were going to join the circus, what would you do in the circus?” And I was like, “Trapeze. Duh.” Because, really, what else is there? Right about this time my plans forContinueContinue reading “Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class”
