“How well I remember reading C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity many years ago. It seemed that here was someone who knew the essentials of the Christian faith and expressed them clearly, forcibly and with an acute insight in to Christian Revelation. I also remember enjoying very much The Screwtape Letters and thinking how clever C. S. Lewis was in anticipating how the devil works in our everyday lives and, of course, the Narnia books were and are hugely enjoyable and bring us literally into another kind of world. C. S. Lewis influenced me in the sense that here was a non-Catholic Christian expressing Christian faith in a way that was quite in accord with Roman Catholic teaching and with which I can concur completely. It opened up for me a sense of an ecumenical path and brought me to realise many years ago how much we as Roman Catholics had in common with the Anglican Communion and made me resolve to further the communion between us in every way open to me.”

—Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster

 To me, CS Lewis comprehends almost perfectly the plan of our Heavenly Father, knowledge of the primitive church Christ set up while he was on the earth, and He understands fundamental gospel principles that were lost after Christ died....  He is a uniter among religions, not a divider.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
