I thought that the night of the first presidential debate might be a good time to share this prayer activity with you all. It’s from the Fruit of the Spirit retreat materials–from Wednesday of Peace week. It was a good prayer practice for me this morning. (Maybe every day until I no longer have teenagers…
(So my creative Monday post is showing up on Tuesday this week due to general laziness and technical difficulties.) As part of my rule of life, we’ve started having family prayer time several evenings a week. I have a prayer bead bracelet that I made a few months ago, and my children have been intrigued…
So this is my new “Rule of Life” board. And I know it looks crazy. The thing is, my life is kind of crazy. In a good way, but still. Three kids at two different schools that have different start and end times–and they all get out of school early every Wednesday and sometimes the…
I’m taking a break from posting weekly prayer practices while I put together the new retreat. I enjoy writing the materials, and I’m also enjoying my new binding machine! I took out the staples from my Lenten retreat booklet and put a new binding on it. The binding looks better than the staples. Plus, you’ll…
I am enjoying my work on the Creative Arts Retreat for ordinary time. (I even got out the Greek lexicon this morning!) Because I am writing up so many prayer practices for the retreat material, I am going to take a break from posting weekly practices for awhile. So today I want to share a…
I’m super excited about the new creative arts retreat! It’s a 9-week retreat in daily life, focusing on the 9 fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5. All the details are here, and the order page is up and running. I’d love for you to join us!
I attended a brayer workshop with Michelle Zindorf last Saturday, and it was wonderful! I’ve long been a fan of her website and I’ve made my own poor imitations of many of her cards. At the workshop, she encouraged us to develop our own projects. Notice the landscapes. Pay attention to sunsets. So after copying…
I’m putting together a new creative arts retreat, and of course I’ve done the fun part first–gathering art supplies and sewing the bags to hold them. (Yes, I’m sewing. My multi-talented husband threads the machine, re-fills the bobbin, and fixes things when I mess up. But I am sewing!) This will be a retreat in…
I’m headed to Oklahoma City this morning for our Western District Conference assembly. I go surrounded by love and supported in prayer. Tomorrow (Saturday) at 12:45 we will have a time of worship before the delegate sessions. Those who will be at the conference are invited to join us there. Those not attending are welcome…
I realize that sometimes this blog can make it seem like I have a lovely, holy, prayer-filled, pious life. That I sit around all day reading scripture and coloring in my prayer journal. So I feel compelled to tell you that I re-started my daily morning prayer practice two days ago. So grateful to the…
