Days of summer

The days of Summer 2010 were:

Getting lost on a trail hike at a park... we got caught up in conversation that we passed our parking area.

Watching my kids grow up even more.

Shouting while running from bear, "Bear in yard - NOT KIDDING!"

Playing music with friends Busker's style.

Saying farewell to a dear friend: Patrick Moser

Painting a big outdoor and indoor mural and making a new friends in the process.

Laughing and teaching the kids at VBS.

Getting really tan - for me. :)

Finding a new home for Roxy and finding my new-to-me green machine.

Knowing I can run to the top of that hill - and back. :)

Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center Summer Camp sessions.

Sharing my veggie share with my friends.

Waldameer Park day.

Sunrises

Sunsets

and dinners at Grandma's house after lawn work and swimming in the pool.

What a lovely summer...

Selah Season

 Holy Shenanigans Podcast Episode #162 Selah Season Tara continues sane spiritual practices with an opportunity to practice, "Selah". This week's Scripture focus:  Psalm 62. Questions for Discussion: 1. What Spiritual Practices do you enjoy? 2. Are your Spiritual Practices Active or more Contemplative?  3. Do you "Selah", before you Serve? 4. Do you think pause (Selah) should come before Service? Why or why not? 5.  If you could give advice to a friend about the value of pause, what would say? 6. Where can you find a pocket for Selah/pause in your day?

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
