Verse of the Day

  • I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. -Romans 12:1-2

Journaling

Inspiration

  • I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled high as my shoulder in the cistern attic, books of all kinds reflecting every transient stage of my parents' interest, books readable and unreadable, books suitable for a child and books most emphatically not. Nothing was forbidden me. In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I always had the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass. -C.S. Lewis

    Random Acts of Kindness Group on Ravelry

    Rak_badge Earlier in September, I joined the Random Acts of Kindness Group on Ravelry, the online community of knitters and crocheters. The group allows you to post a wish list each month of fiber-related and life-related gifts that you would like to receive.  You, in turn, then keep a close monitor on the wish lists of other's in order to  grant them a random act of kindness by supplying them a wish from their list.  It is a wonderful concept and I was thrilled to post my first wish list.  I have been able to send out several RAKs this month and I was thrilled to receive my very first RAK in the mail today from a fellow knitter. Stephanie, from Colorado Springs, sent me a beautiful set of stitch markers and they are green....my most favorite color.  Thank you, Stephanie, you made my day...and added some wonderful and beautiful stitch markers to my knitting bag!

    Meditation

    • "I think poets owe a special adoration to the third person of the Holy Trinity, for by these tongues of fire all men are made poets and philosophers, and that is the way Christ would have it on earth." -Thomas Merton
