Just a Small Town Girl
Some think that life is like a box of chocolates. It’s not a bad metaphor, really, but as for me…I see it more as a great big puzzle.It’s our job to make the pieces fit together—to make sense of them, to rearrange them constantly—and to persevere until we see the big picture, which, depending on the day and the light and our faith......may not be … [Read more...]

The streets are crowded with ghouls & ghosts while the church halls are filled with pint-sized saints.(We'll celebrate both the secular on Sunday and the sacred on Monday, which, I am DISMAYED to discover, is not a holy day of obligation this year. Aargh and aargh and I'm very frustrated.)(But I … [Read more...]
