catching up on gifts

i've been at a clergy gathering the last few days and intentionally left my computer at home...so here i am catching up on gifts.  i found while i was away this has become a good discipline for me.  it reminds me much of the examen and is likely why i am refreshed by it.


3 things woven...


the nest i watch with fascination each day...

this community of colleagues....

a cross in my home away from home...

3 things inherited...


my nose (and ears, and eyes)...

my need to please...

my love of nature...

3 gifts square...


the book that contains the words of the One who loves me...



a place i am safe...

the middle of the town i call home...
