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

    I Have a Local Yarn Shop!!!

    Thesilverwheel Despite my post from yesterday, this evening I discovered that I do have a local yarn shop.  While visiting the Pulaski County Public Library Facebook Page I discovered that my community has a local fiber arts shop called The Silver Wheel.  This studio seems to have relocated from Lexington to Somerset.  According to their website they specialize "in hand woven heirloom quality textiles, delicate hand-spinning, and knitting pattern design and education in these crafts."  I am super excited and will have to locate their studio tomorrow! They even have a blog!

    I think so, too, Pip. The owners are graduates of Berea College here in Kentucky and their goal is to preserve Appalachian artistry and handicrafts.

    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
