Crash. Hardwear Fatality.

So, I seem to have a serious computer malfunction. It is in computer hospital. I am hoping that the people there will be able to retrieve the essentials so I van maybe transplant the stuff that makes a computer essential to me to – well, maybe like doing a brain transplant. Meanwhile, I have my [...]

Interesting quote

“How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible, and not tell them that?” Apparently made by well known performer and atheist, Penn Jillette. via http://hotair.com/archives/2009/02/24/nuance-white-house-vetting-prayers-said-before-obama-events/

Ash Wednesday

Protestants don’t really observe this day that marks the beginning of Lent in a very significant way.  It comes and it goes largely unnoticed.  It begins the season of Lent that we also let slip by mostly unnoticed due to those past efforts to distance ourselves from Catholicism.  But times are changing and I think [...]

Evening Prayers

Today, in my spare moments, I have been pulling together some of the resources I’ve collected and trying to finalize the Evening Prayers we will use at the woman’s retreat.  I love doing this.  I have no idea if I am good at it though.  That assessment is always so subjective. I hope that the [...]

Special Prayers

Another annoying call

It seems as if telemarketers have decided that since we are not at home during the day, they will call us after 8 at night.    I am just a bit tired of answering their calls.  Tonight was a new one – for me anyway.  The Canadian We Don’t Do Drugs Society. I’m sure it is [...]

Awareness

Awareness of the sacred in life is what holds our world together and the lack of awareness and sacred care is what is tearing it apart. Joan Chittister, from Wisdom Distilled From the Daily

Enjoying life

The Mid-term is done and I think was good.   Now, of course, I have to wait to hear how I did and all but I feel good and the translations we were asked to do were no way as difficult as the ones in the workbook. That was the first mid-term I have written in [...]
