Summer Sabbatical

Renew, Reflect and Readjust - a Summer Break

Our God is a God of many surprises. I’ve been given the opportunity to take summer sabbatical. Yeah!  I think I need it.

I will return in the Fall - refreshed, renewed and ready to roll.

Blessings,
Sr. Patricia

From Washington State to Washington D.C for Life

This last Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to interview three members of the Pro-Life Crossroads Walk. Young College age students who give up their summer to walk from Seattle, Washington to Washington D.C. in prayer and sacrifice for Pro-Life. A long, long road.

During the week they take turns walking five mile shifts. There are eleven of them (I think) who started from Seattle, though they... READ MORE


We are one Family

A six minute award winning video - on food - that goes to waste - but doesn't.


This beautiful video was shared with me today - and I think its important to share with you.


Imagine that! A new Hat!

Computer woes, Mom and Alzheimer's

My computer is still down. I am still working on this teeny, tiny notebook that makes my eyes crossed… but I am able to get some things done - just a little more challenging.

Today, I went to see my Mom and we had a nice visit. It was a beautiful day so we were able to go outside. I had brought her a little hat so that she wouldn’t get sunburned on her face. She wore it for about ten minutes…pretty... READ MORE


Our Holy Spirit Free E-Book

Rebecca, Sr. Patricia and Readers comments on Holy Spirit nudges made into E-book

Okay, it’s nothing fancy - but I think the Holy Spirit is pleased with our sharing.

Holy Spirit Nudges 2009

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day of Pentecost.

The image above is our latest card for Pentecost created by Barb Ries by friend and help mate. I don’t know how she did the Holy Spirit like that…  She said it was a happy accident… I hope she has that happy accident again!

Ninth Day of the Novena for Pentecost

Final Day for Novena for Pentecost

The Ninth Day of the Novena for Pentecost

I think I must be doing something very, very right.. because last night I was on the home stretch of getting our community newsletter finished to send to the Printer and I was so close I could feel the tension sort of slipping off into space (this is a project long overdue). And then this morning when I turned on the computer…. it gave me this message (translated... READ MORE


Novena for the Feast of Pentecost - Day 8

Eighth Day of the Novena for Pentecost

The Eighth Day of the Novena for Pentecost

We are getting closer! We finish the Novena on Saturday and then stand back and wait for the Holy Spirit to blow!

Okay, it might be a soft, gentle breeze.. but whatever.. we will be ready. And if you haven’t prayed the Novena… just ask the Holy Spirit to come - And he will!


Book Title - It’s Time to Vote - Round One

Choosing the best title for book on "Catholics Returning Home."

Okay…I think we have enough titles now… 197 last count. We certainly should be able to find THE BEST TITLE now don’t you think?

Are you noticing how I keep saying “We?”  Like as in ... I’m not making this decision all by myself?

So here is how it works. If you would be so kind as to pick “3 Titles”  that you like and post as a comment… then I will gather up your choices and make them into a new smaller... READ MORE


Novena for the Feast of Pentecost - Day 7

Here is the Novena for the Seventh Day.

Rats, rats, rats, rats, rats.. and one million more rats. I just wrote a wonderful entry and it went away. Rats, rats, rats, rats, rats. rats.

Okay, maybe it wasn’t that wonderful - but I soooooo hate it when that happens. .... and I soooooooo hate when I don’t learn the first time because this isn’t the first time. Rats, rats, rats, rats, rats, rats.

So..... READ MORE
