And this year was even richer because my daughter was godmother to the first-grader you see in the video. I'm so proud!

It is a privilege to be one of the discussion facilitators for our "Pilgrims in Christ" process, to journey with those preparing for baptism

I'm blessed to belong to a parish with a rich catechumenal process. A tiny taste of our glorious Easter Vigil: https://t.co/MdXyZkYWkG

Be like Jesus! Be who you are. Do not be afraid. Be like a balloon and fill yourself with faith. Float to the sky. Live life equally. If someone is different, include them. You are you and you are great like Jesus. Make people happy and you will be happy. Live in your own glory! - http://undercovernun.tumblr.com/post...

I must be at the right point in my career to manage people, because this is the first time the idea of it has terrified me.

@thegayscientist Gee, it's too bad our language doesn't have any pronouns to represent inanimate objects, like maybe clouds.

John, the boss, established T-Shirt Tuesday. My shirt says: wtfwjd? Best response: "It can't be Jesus, so it must be John." #facepalm

RT @freesermons: Be happy. It drives people crazy.

@opwest @cherilyntx I love the emphasis, in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, on God's love for the little. Before God, we all are little.

RT @opwest: "Obedience raises us beyond the limits of our littleness and puts us in harmony with God's will." --Saint Maximilian Kolbe, #pray for us.

RT @UnvirtuousAbbey: 'There is no greater love,' says the Lord, 'then to get your friend a caffeinated beverage.'

Morning at the coffeeshop: Mac & Cheese just delivered to a child. Whoever decreed Mac & Cheese an acceptable breakfast should be sainted.

@pastordan Indeed! When I hear it, my aesthetic sensors register beauty, as with a sunset or symphony. Have you spent time in Virginia?

Writing is HARD. There are so many wonderful distractions to engage in! #backtothesaltmine

I realize I'm fortunate to love the local accent. I know others who find their local or hometown accent grating.

It sounds a lot like a Scots accent or even "Canadian." Aboot, agaynst. Not sure how to spell the sound of long I. This accent = my home.

Morning at the coffeeshop: Hearing the old native Tidewater accent. I haven't heard it from anyone younger than ~70, which saddens me.

@svyashennaya I've been intrigued, watching @CCelticCross community grow. I love the Episcopal Church, but it can be so frustrating!

RT @IDFrabbi: For the LORD G-d is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Sat morning at the coffeeshop: toddler in stroller dons Mom's sunglasses upside down. Hangs off the side mugging for everyone. Many smiles!

Okay. Finished up all the little tasks. Now to plug in the headphones, turn off email, and get some writing done!

@StBarnabasWelly @heavensby @giles_morrison Or just about anything beginning with "If you'd only..."

@heavensby @StBarnabasWelly @giles_morrison I can tell you lots of things to NOT say! The best may be, "I'm listening. Tell me about it."

@StBarnabasWelly @CNotC @giles_morrison I am SO familiar with that feeling. Sometimes we really need God with skin on.

Also OH in the office: Alf erotic fanfiction. #IkidYouNot

OH in the office: That awkward moment when you're surfing for pr0n and you recognize your parents.

... breathed in the lush aroma, and took the first sip. Perfect!

... I sighed with pleasure, knowing that breath of coffee aroma would soon reach all my senses. I curled my hand around the warm cup, ...

... I pulled up to the window, and a smiling barista opened it. The coffeeshop exhaled, carrying the delicious aroma of fresh coffee. ...

... Finally, I got to the speaker to place my order, and then the line seemed to move quickly. ...

... I was fourth in line behind the speaker, and it seemed like the line just wasn't moving. I used the time to skim my work email. ...
