🕯️ I still love the Episcopal Church, though I'm taking a break for now. I live between two parishes, one of which has guitar Masses. Uh, no. Once I get working, I'll most likely go to the other as it's much more traditional.

🕯️ Feeling down at so much right now, but I love life nevertheless. Just hanging onto my faith, such as it is. It will turn around at some point.

🕯️ Jesus, lighten my Being, drive away the dross which clouds my vision. Help me to have faith that your love transforms all of me.

🕯️ Don't think I mentioned that I was accepted at MIU for a Master's in Consciousness and Human Potential, which is the degree I'm postponing until August. God speaks in so many beautiful ways and I'm touched that God directed me here. We shall see what the future brings.

🕯️

🕯️ I decided to wait to matriculate at Maharishi University International until August. The nice thing is that MIU allows the acceptance I just received to be carried over until the next term. God and I have a strong relationship. The Church and I, not so much. It's all good. ⛪

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

🕯️

🕯️ May Catherine O'Hara dance with God and those that love and miss her be comforted.

🕯️ Please pray for me as I pray for you!

🕯️ These times certainly fall under the term "weird". Trump's losing it on a daily basis--he rarely makes even a modicum of sense. I know as one who walks with Christ, though am not a church goer presently, that I have to love him, pray for his conversion. It's not easy and I'm rarely successful.

🕯️ Minneapolis is showing us that we will not put up with murder by ICE. The Church's witness is right there and it is profound. I also applaud those from other religious and spiritual traditions as well as those of no faith standing and being counted. The DHS and ICE need to go!

🕯️ Lots of snow! When it's all done, I believe we'll have anywhere from 10"-12". It's beautiful, but I prefer Autumn. ❄️

🕯️ We need to live the teachings of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and those of our brother, Jesus. Let freedom ring!

🕯️ Hope you're maintaining balance and peace in these seriously crazy times. God help us to have faith to get through it.

🕯️ Still hacking/coughing a bit. Ugh. It always takes me a minute to get over bad colds. Sad news Minneapolis. May Ms. Good dance with God and may her child, wife, and parents be comforted. ICE man committed murder. He needs to be tried. Punished. Noem needs to be impeached.

🕯️ Will be starting my second Masters in February in Conscious and Human Potential. If all goes well, may follow with a PhD. What the #$&+ is Trumpty Dumpty up to? Not a Maduro supporter, but I hate that he did this without Congressional notification and approval!

🕯️ Just got over four days of having "the crud". Not the flu, but bad enough. Now at expectorating phase🤧, if you will. Ugh. At least I'm sitting by a sunny window. ☀️

🕯️ I tend to get depressed this time of year. No biggy, but, while I love what Christmas is, I don't much care for the lights, presents, family gatherings. Nevertheless, my wish is that Christmas joy touches you in the deepest way possible.

🕯️ Hope this is a deeply peaceful time of year for each of you, in spite of the craziness. Happy Fourth Sunday of Advent.

🕯️ Oh gawd, it's going to be around 60, yes 60, on 🎄 Christmas Day! Weirdness! Going to wake up around upper 20s and it will be in the lower 50s by noon. Blessed remainder of Advent to y'all.

🕯️ Rainy in the 50s. Better than freezing! If you'd all pray that a carrier position with the US Post Office comes through. I passed the assessment they gave. Thank you. Hope everyone's having an amazing Advent.

🕯️ Life is beautiful, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. God is total LOVE. Relish it. 🧡

🕯️

Hope you're all having a wonderful what's left of Saturday. Just wanted to say "hi" from a very snowy Cincinnati! Going to get really cold here overnight into tomorrow. Melts on Thursday! I love y'all. 🧡🕯️🕯️🕯️Happy Third Sunday of Advent!

“Cows of Bashan” who hate the poor. I can only imagine what Amos would say to us today! #DailyOffice #Advent ⚓️

🕯️ Please pray that I find a job soon. I'm going to wait for a parish. Closest one does guitar Masses. Uh, no. Thank you!! Praying for your cares/concerns as well. 🧡

🕯️ Phone is back on. 😀

🕯️ Almost back in Cincinnati! Exhausted, but almost home. Thank you for your prayers.

🕯️ If all goes well, leaving from Kalamazoo a little after Noon. Can't wait to see my sister, Sue, and brother-in-law, Don. ✅🍂🍁

🕯️ Even though the snow didn't hit until much later, my bus was cancelled. At least I leave around noon and don't have a four hour wait in Chicago. In the guest house as my luggage is heavy. God is good.

🕯️

🕯️ My last day at the monastery. It's been a good experience and I'm extremely grateful. Onwards and upwards!

🕯️ I hope to be on here much more. I'll have to get on my sister's WiFi. 🕯️🧡🍂🍁🐧✅

🕯️

Prayers, please, as I have decided to leave the Benedictines. I feel good about this decision. I let them know this morning and they have been really supportive. I'm going to stay until Saturday. Love y'all and thank you. 🧡🍁🍂🌻
