One triquetra mitten is nearly complete as of today. It only lacks the thumb and about ten seconds of finishing work. I probably would have had it completely done except I dropped my needle during the Nicene Creed, rolled it under the pew in front of me, waited through the confession+absolution, and had to peace [...]

a funny thing happened to me at mass this morning

I was denied communion this morning. For just a moment and I did ultimately receive, but I had no idea how those three seconds of waiting would impact me. My story is that the priest spaced out for a second. She (incidentally, my teacher for confirmation class) distributed to my friends and moved the host [...]

I keep hearing something in blogs and articles that bothers me. Perhaps I should stop being a glutton for punishment and cease and desist from reading all material with a viewpoint not aligned with my own, but I think staying only with people of like mind is kind of isolating and ignorant. So what is [...]

Did I mention I confirmed with one of our deacons – Eucharistic Minister training is next Sunday following my favorite service. YAY!! Er… alleluia, alleluia! Even better, there will be one other in training so I can muck things up and not be the only one. All of our clergy, most EMs, and a couple [...]

One, chances are high that I’m going to have my gallbladder out in a couple weeks. Last night as I was leaving for a friend’s birthday bash, I noticed it kind of hurt to breathe when I was walking. Since the pain was confined to a spot in my right upper abdomen, I immediately suspected [...]
school’s out for summer (well, june…)
Posted in dialogue, ev, life, one holy catholic and apostolic church, raise your feet it's getting deep in here, rental children, vacation or something like it on May 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
School’s out until July and with my scheduled surgery (now cancelled) this week and “vacation” at the end of June, I’m off the EV schedule for June. Also, youth group is out for the summer. I’m not sure what to do with myself! Usually at this point on Sunday evening I’m avoiding the prospect of [...]

Vocal nodules it is. The younger kids tend to drive me nuts when my voice is gone since they are newer listeners and they may/may not hear me or they are imitating my whispered voice instead of using their regular voice. However, the older kids are pretty amusing when my voice is out of commission [...]

It’s official, my voice has left me for the second time in six months without an indication of infection or allergy. I had an ENT appointment already scheduled tomorrow for my ginormous tonsils, so this will be a 2-in-1 visit. I guess I’ll get my money’s worth out of my specialist co-pay. I suspect vocal [...]

It’s Shrove Tuesday (or for all the heathens out there, Mardi Gras) which leads to the annual last-minute debate about what I’m doing for Lent. I suck at choosing a Lenten discipline, I think primarily because I see several “luxuries” as essentials (see: Diet Dr Pepper and knitting) and also because I don’t see Lent [...]

So… I might have my first solo Eucharistic Visit on Sunday. To an old priest. No pressure on that one. – I test drove a couple cars today. The salesman made two mistakes, one common, one kinda ignorant. The first was assuming that I know a lot about sign language, but given the lack of [...]
