Where better to ponder than my own blog? Perhaps you will chime in with your own blatherings? I am fond of saying: “I don’t think God put His mark on a certain religion and said “that’s that.” Not in regards to “Christianity” but instead to the myriad of religions. Is being Catholic better than beingContinue reading “Pondering”

Old Testament Pieces
I first read the book “Hinds Feet on High Places” in my teenage years. In my morning meditation I was pleased to come across Habakkuk 3:19; The Lord God is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet, And makes me walk on my high places. It reminded me how much I enjoyedContinue reading “Old Testament Pieces”
Pieces of Grace
What is the grace of God? How do we receive it? What does it feel like? For me, it is forgiveness, guidance and assurance all rolled together. How it feels, differs with people, but I’d like to think it’s like getting an unexpected gigantic hug from a good friend. To be suspended by the graceContinue reading “Pieces of Grace”

The “unaffiliated category” covers all those who profess no religion, from atheists and agnostics to people with spiritual beliefs but no link to any established faith. Hypocrisy is keeping a lot of people away from the Christian church for a myriad of reasons. Continue reading “Hypocrisy”
Eastertide
To be honest, I had never heard of “Eastertide” until today, and as a new-to-the-Episcopalian-faith, I wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly. It seems to be a beautiful time of celebration. It is based in Christianity & Judaism and although I attend a “certain” church, I do not believe that Christ putContinue reading “Eastertide”
