Scattering Flowers

Grant that I may rest in Thee above all things desired, and that my heart may be at peace in Thee.
St. Therese

Our God is merciful.  He heals all our wounds.  We turn to him and pray:
When we are unaware of our faults and imperfections – enlighten us and make us new.  Lord be merciful.
When we are trapped in bad habits – free us.  Lord be merciful.
When we are seeking perfection – strengthen us in the battle.  [...]

Wow!  It has been a really long time since I’ve blogged.  I haven’t even checked in over here in quite awhile.  Since my summer school session ended I have been knee deep in creative projects around the house.  I have tried very hard not to use my brain at all.  I still have the Thomas [...]

I would like to pause a moment and give thanks… for the end of summer school.  I just submitted my final exam in British Literature and I can honestly say I don’t even care what the grade is that comes back.  I am so happy to be finished, at least for a short while.

Oh my poor, sad, little blog!  It has been so neglected.  My Google Reader stands at about 350 unread blog posts (and I’ve kept up with the no brainer ones, it’s the ones I have to think about that aren’t getting read) so I’m not reading blogs either.  I have one more week of summer [...]

I’m sorry for my prolonged absence.  I’ve been out of town and now that I’m back I find myself in a jam trying to get things back in order, both for my family, and for my classes.  I might have mentioned this before, but I thought I signed up for two 12 week summer courses, [...]

I started my summer school classes today.  In the introductory lecture to my early British Literature class, the professor explained the basis for the term paper that will be due in a couple of weeks.  In the “canon” * of British literature there are very few women writers.  It’s not because women weren’t writing, but [...]

Jay and I were talking this morning about my last post on regrets and how confession fits in.   Confession deals with this very human dilemma of regret and how to deal with it.  When we take our regrets to the confessional we leave them before God.
But what if they keep coming back to mind?  Is [...]

I caught up with an old college friend via Facebook the other day.  We haven’t seen each other in about 9 or 10 years.  We were always very different people with very different ways of looking at life, and yet got along very well together.  She was telling me all that had happened in her [...]

I was having a discussion with someone close to me about what it means to be a Christian.  They said” if you really believed in Jesus and what he said and stands for you would want to do he says and try to live your life according to him…it seems like a simple concept”.
I asked [...]
