In the media library there are some photos that might be misleading.
One is a photo of my and a friend Vicky . . we were at a concert in a big ‘barn like’ building. I’m the one on the left – she’s on the right.
The two other photos are of an award program bulletin and the ‘trophy’ which is on my bookcase.
I did not win the award for “Praying Our Way Through Stress: Drawing Wisdom from the…..
Last week in our Book/Bible study we were talking about The Sermon on the Mount. Our study started late as church had started late and ran over extra time and there is of course the Coffee Hour/Fellowship time that we participate in. It used to be that the Priest was very focused on starting and ending on time but as the congregation has grown it seems church takes a little longer and that’s quite all right.

My husband and I went to see the movie Captain Phillips for my birthday. He asked if I would like to go see 12 Years a Slave http://bit.ly/1bfJ9xB or check out different movies.

My Parish Priest carried over All Saints Day to this Sunday so he could ask us some questions and talk to us in practicalities about saints and their lives. While he didn’t ask if they had they stress free lives he did ask us if they were all perfect. And of course we said no.
So why do so many Christians try to pretend they have perfect…..
People like to know something about the author of a book. I’ve always disliked the ‘Tell us a little about yourself.” kind of writing challenges and ‘getting to know you’ question and new small group meeting openings. Tell me/us a little about yourself, who are you, what do you like to do, etc. I enjoy listening to other…..
Ever have a pity party? Serously. Most of us have had a pity party at some time in our life. They aren’t very fun and don’t do much good. No one ever sends out an invitation that reads:
You are invited to A Pity Party!
Date:
Time:
Location:
Please come, we’ll have a pity good time!
Ya right! Not going to that one! I know what there like and so do you. No one wants anyone to come to a…..
