Today I completed my 2011 Report to the Annual Meeting, which is Sunday at Small Parish. It has been a good year for our Christian Education program… we’ve expanded & recruited more volunteers. As I was writing the report, I was reminded that I cannot go to this upcoming years Diocesan Convention. Thee past two [...]
Today is the Birthday { 236 years} of the United States Marine Corps! Semper Fi, y’all. :O) Tomorrow is Veterans Day. I live in a VERY military-infused part of our great nation, but my appreciation for those who serve our nation in her armed forces started when I was a wee lass. I come from [...]
It’s that time of year again….soon I must present my spiritual autobiography to my EfM seminar group. Thankfully I still have two more weeks to polish this years’ version of my spiritual autobiography, but its gonna be very different from the past two years’ autobiographies. I’ve grown a lot since last summer & a lot [...]
I am shamelessly using this blog to plug a book that currently has me enthralled. Anyone who knows me at all knows that I value intelligence, so when Ms Lisa Bloom, feminist & legal eagle extraordinaire, released her first book I got my pre-ordered copy. So far I’ve read the introduction to her book and [...]
I am posting a list of prayer concerns, as this has been an active & rather sad news cycle. Wow…I spend a total day away from my computer & return home to a laundry list of bad news through which to sift. :O( ~The earthquake & tsunami that started in Japan & made its way [...]

I finally recieved my 2011 Dio Convention packet in the mail yesterday. I opened the thick envelope this morning & scanned the list of lay delegates to see who else I might know from other parishes & was glad to see several familar names. I TRIED to read the first two resolutions, but the legalese [...]
” am i asking too much?” ~ani difranco Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Since I have two Masses at which to attend & serve, I’m not planning to blog tomorrow. One of my Christmas wishes, the repeal of DADT has already occurred. As a matter of fact, both my Facebook status updates yeserday were about the [...]
Today we had ONE Mass followed by our parish’s Annual meeting{ and THEN followed by a monthly Potluck!} Although I generally am not a fan of annual parish meetings, this one went by well. 201o was an…unusual year for me & my parish. But its all good now. When I was a Presbyterian I HATED [...]
So, my book by ++ KJS is here. New books excite me. {yes, I know how nerdy that makes me & I don’t care! } I’m a bookworm & I delight in my bookworminess. :O) It just came in time, as I’ve been having a really lousy few days. Since I fell while riding the [...]
