Keeper
Yesterday I noticed that a single friend was attired in a clothing with an impending "wardrobe failure." That would be a seam by a pocket that was coming loose. Not something he had noticed, not essential to existence, by any means. I poked fun at him saying he...
Language of Love
A couple of weeks ago, a friend and I were talking and he mentioned something he had read or heard about the difficulties of understanding the various ways of expressing love. Some talk, some do. It seems I'm married to a "do-er" as it were. I've tried watching...
What’s next?
I'm retiring -- well, I retiring from my "day job" at Auburn. Not happening until the first of April, but it seems it's happening. It is not lost on my friends that my first day as a retiree will be April Fool's Day (and I have an 8 am dentist appointment, to boot.)...
Third Way
The other night my husband was watching one of the science channels. The show was about physics. Is light a particle? Or is light a wave? And the answer is "Yes." I don't understand the math or the physics beyond the simple idea that relativity and quantum physics are...
Action
Time flies by and I fail to take the time to post. But, it's raining, and I have just completed the formation weekend for the Women's Cursillo to be held in March at Holy Trinity. And, I've had to take time to think and write, as I am giving a rollo (talk) on Action -...
Tears
I didn't write yesterday because there might have been tears in my keyboard had I tried in the morning. Nothing so major in the grand scheme of things, I know. But, disappointment doesn't always listen to reason. We had thought that our granddaughters would be...
Not “From a Distance”
The priest at Christmas Eve mass struck a chord with me. He began by reflecting on the first men on the moon -- seeing the earth "as it really is" from a distance. He spoke about them looking back at earth and seeing it as a distant, beautiful blue and green globe. He...
Christmas Cooking Day
The house is filled with smell of my cornbread dressing and my husbands pork dressing. It's cooking day. We always have to have both the Southern and the French Canadian dressings. Is that a battle or a melding of cultures? Through the years we've settled on certain...
Mystery
As a church music minister/director, I suppose I'm going to have to deal with this new translation of the Roman Missal (for English) at some point. I've thus far kept my head in the sand, ostrich style -- and hoped that the day of reckoning won't happen or at least...
You must become as little children
In Matthew's gospel, Jesus tells us "...unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." I was thinking of this today as I was listening to music from the Mexican Baroque period. That led me to my experience of the...
